3 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
Locate the dryer’s rear mounting holes (nearest motor) a minimum of 10” from any rear wall or overhead
obstruction less than 75” high.
NOTE: For an example of a typical factory installation, including multiple spacing and
envelope dimensions, see APPENDIX A: Installed Layout Diagram S221474.

3 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
5) Place remaining rubber isolator and top plate over the pipe spacers at each foot.
6) Install washer and nut onto each wedge anchor bolt and tighten the nut until the top plate is tight against
the top of the pipe spacers. This should compress the rubber isolators about 1/8” to 3/16” each, and will
provide a vibration cushion between the dryer and the floor.
The SD50-LT is shipped without a plug in order to provide the customer the flexibility to provide the desired
receptacle needed for factory installation. A NEC 05 fusible disconnect must be installed within sight of the
dryer.
Activate the grease cartridges at the rear of the dryer by turning the dial on top with a 3mm Allen wrench. If you
are using your dryer daily HMI recommends that you set the dial to the #2 setting. See section 7.3 for further
information.

4 COMMON INSTALLATION AND OPERATION ERRORS TO AVOID:
Please read the following list of precautionary notes for your operator’s safety and to ensure
your Spin Dryer will serve you to its maximum potential:
1) Do not fill the plastic tote basket more than half full of product and a maximum of 50 pounds. If this
basket is filled to the top, the load will be unsupported and can result in excessive vibration of the dryer.
Excessive vibration can cause damage to the dryer and/or cause the anchors to be pulled from their
positions.
2) Do not over tighten the drive belt on your dryer. Over tightening the drive belt can result in belt breakage
and main bearing damage.
5) The SD50-LT is delivered with a maximum speed set for 680 RPM. This standard speed is designed for
running lettuce products. Damage to your product may occur if your dryer’s speed is too high for the
product in question.
6) Do not alter the program parameters of the Variable Frequency Drive (except for those covered in the
Fine Tuning Sections) without first consulting with an HMI representative. The operational parameters of
this unit control many of the dryer’s safety features.
7) Do not disconnect the power from the dryer while the dryer is running.
8) Do not open the dryer lid while the dryer is turning. Opening the lid while the dryer is turning will cause
the brake to activate and the rotation will slow to a stop.
9) Your VFD is located in a cold room and the condensation that forms on the warm components may cause
electrical problems. Make sure the condensation drain is clear and water does not build up in VFD area.
NOTE: It is very important that your Dryer bearings be greased daily with a food grade
grease. See 7.3 for Automatic Lubrication.

5 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS: Start / Stop
Determine which mode the Dryer will run in, Hand or Automatic. Safety
The Hand / Auto Switch is located inside the control box. (see Figure 5.1). Disconnect
Switch
“Hand” Mode: The operator will load the dryer with a basket, close
the lid and depress the Green “Manual Start” button for each cycle.
Manual Start
“Auto” Mode: The operator will load the dryer with a basket, and close
the lid. The Dryer will run one cycle each time the lid is closed.
Menu Selector
1) TEST RUN: Prior to running product, conduct
a test run. Place an empty basket in the dryer and Close the lid.
In “Auto Mode”, pull out the START/STOP button located on the
VFD Control Box (see Figure 5.0). Press the Manual Start
button, open and close the lid. The dryer will run thru a single
cycle and stop, allowing the user to make sure the dryer is fully
functioning. In “Hand Mode” Place an empty basket in the dryer, Hand/ Auto
pull out the START/ STOP button and then press the “MANUAL
START” button. The dryer will run thru a single cycle and stop
allowing the operator to make sure the dryer is functioning.
Brake Resistor
2) Open lid and place a correctly loaded basket (no more than half full and 50 pounds or less) into the dryer.
NOTE: If the baskets are filled above the top of the basket carrier, the dryer could vibrate
excessively and result in failure of the anchor bolts over time.
3) Close lid. If the dryer is in Auto Mode the cycle will start. If the dryer is in Hand Mode, depress the Manual
Start button and the cycle will start.
4) The dryer will then begin an initial balance cycle then automatically enter the spin cycle.
NOTE: From this point forward, if the SD50-LT is in automatic mode; there is no need to activate
the Start/Stop button throughout normal operating conditions.
5) The dryer’s normal operation is very quiet. The motor will be energized from the time the dryer is started
through the brake cycle.
6) After the SD50-LT has completed the spin cycle the brake will activate and basket rotation will stop.
7) Raise lid and remove basket. The dryer is now ready to receive the next load. In “Auto Mode” when the
next load is put into the dryer, the dryer will automatically start when the lid is closed. In “Hand Mode”
press the Manual Start button to start the dry cycle.
8) STOP FUNCTION: In the event the operator desires to stop the dryer, the red Start/Stop button can be
depressed. The brake is fully activated and the drum rotation will brake to a stop.
9) NOTE: The dryer can be fine tuned to meet your production needs (see Section 6).

FINE TUNING THE SPIN DRYER:
For a description of all parameter defaults, refer to the Delta User Manual.
1 cycle consists of 16 seconds of spin balance followed by the dry cycle. The dry cycle time can be varied
between four menu settings.
Spin balance: 2hz 4 seconds, 4hz 4 seconds, 30hz 4 seconds, 2hz 4 seconds
If the dryer factory programming is not compatible with the product you are drying, alternate
programming is available from HMI. This programming can be installed either by software or by
replacing the drive hardware card, Part Number VFD-EPROG. Please contact your HMI Customer
Service Representative to discuss your application needs.

7 MAINTENANCE:
The SD50-LT is designed for quick and efficient maintenance. Only qualified personnel should faithfully carry
out the following instructions in order to provide the maximum and most efficient operation of this machine and
to ensure that all warranties are valid and remain in effect.
*If Dryer is in operation more than 40 hours per week adjustments may be more frequent.
Safety
Before any maintenance is performed, the unit must be adequately fixed in place and
all turning, rotating, hinged or otherwise moveable parts must be blocked or supported.
EM228145C02-SD50LT-2015-02.doc - 12 -
7 MAINTENANCE (con’t):
IMPORTANT: Before performing any maintenance to the Dryer, make sure the power is
locked out to Dryer.

7 7.3 Automatic Lubrication:
Figure 7.3
Activate lubricator by turning the dial on the top (see Figure 7.3) to the #2
setting. This setting should give a cartridge life of approximately 2-4 months.
The gas operated SKF lubricator must have grease in it to lubricate the dryer
bearings. To ensure the longevity of your Spin Dryer, check the level of the
grease inside the SKF lubricator weekly. Replace the pressurized grease
cartridge when empty.
Figure 7.3
IMPORTANT: Check lubricator weekly. Mark grease level on canister to ensure bearings
are receiving grease flow.
IMPORTANT: Failure to replace the gas operated SKF lubricator when it has run out of
grease could result in damage to the dryer bearings.
IMPORTANT: Failure to properly grease or failure to use HMI approved greases could
result in damage to the dryer’s bearings.
If the Automatic Lubricators are unavailable, unscrew the lubricators and replace them with ¼”NPT grease
nipples. Grease the bearings Daily by hand with approved grease (Klueber Allplex FMG2 or SKF LGFP2) until
the lubricators are replaced.

10 CLEANING AND DISINFECTING
General Instructions
Cleaning and disinfecting are an important and integral part of the production process. To ensure effective
management of the cleaning process, cleaning is best viewed as a component specific process.
Definition
Safety
Before any cleaning is performed, the unit must be adequately fixed in place and all turning,
rotating, hinged or otherwise moveable parts must be blocked or supported.
When cleaning (and especially when disinfecting), it is absolutely critical that the equipment is treated and
rinsed ‘top-down’.
Equipment cannot be properly disinfected if it has not been properly cleaned first.
