EXPANSION DRYER

Introduction

Overview
Congratulations on your purchase of the Belanger, Inc. Airstream™ Series Dryer. Recently, we at
Belanger, Inc., have redesigned our complete dryer component line. We now offer a completely modular
dryer system that allows the customer to mix and match a variety of nozzle styles, impeller styles and in
some cases colors. Nozzles can now also have varied output horsepower.
This document will cover the two Belanger “Expansion Frames” and the various optional nozzles and
impellers that are available and can be mounted on it.

There is a standard Expansion Frame that is designed for FlowCell™ nozzles. and there is a wide version
of the Expansion Frame for mounting standard side nozzles. Be sure to use the correct frame for your
configuration.

There have been some significant changes made to the current systems:
• Two available frames: Airstream™ Dryer frame and Expansion frame
• All housings are now mounted on adjustable clamps

• The nozzles also have a much larger pivot range
• Side nozzles no longer have hoses
• The customer can now design his/her own dryer configuration
The purpose of this manual is to familiarize you with the way that the Expansion Dryer is installed, fitted
and configured to the needs of your location, how it operates, and how to maintain it after installation.
Keep in mind that the Expansion Frame is normally used in conjunction with the Belanger Airstream™
Dryer. For that reason, there could be portions of this manual that may not apply to your particular unit,
however all necessary information is included.
The installation portion of this manual is broken into the following sections:
• Expansion Frame assembly

• High Side nozzles
• Low Side nozzles
• FlowCell™ nozzles
The “Installation” section will be used in conjunction with the specification sheet, the location diagram,
and the Airstream™ Series Dryer drawings. All of these combined are your guide to installation.
Whether you have already operated a car wash or you are new to our industry, you know the importance
of the appearance of a car wash and its equipment to the customer. Keeping the equipment clean will not
only make the equipment easier to maintain, it will act as an example to your customer to keep their
equipment (their automobile) clean as well. Replacing the cloth as necessary, will also help the image of
your wash and keep the customer coming back.
Read through the entire manual to familiarize yourself with the Airstream™ Series Dryer before
installation. When installation is completed, you will want to keep this manual as a guide to proper
maintenance.
