E) Desiccant Safety Information
Instructions for use of 'SNOWSTORM' filler
domnick hunter 'snowstorm' fillers must always be used when recharging DX and DH compressed air
dryers with DRYFIL® desiccant material.
The 'SNOWSTORM' filler
To ensure optimum performance from your Desiccant Air Dryer it is
essential to 'snowstorm' fill with DRYFIL® desiccant material,
recharging using a genuine domnick hunter "snowstorm" filler.
The filler controls the flow of desiccant material to achieve
maximum packing density, and avoids channelling and fluidisation,
preventing attrition and rapid deterioration of the desiccant bed.
Use Of the 'SNOWSTORM' filler
After removing the expended desiccant, place the filler on top of
the empty dryer column, using the pins in the base for positive
location over the centre of the column chamber.
Pour desiccant into the filler ensuring continuous filling is
maintained where possible. As the chamber becomes full, it is
possible to monitor through the perspex base the quantity of
desiccant required to complete the filling process without causing
spillage.
When re-charging a Heat Regenerative DH Desiccant Air Dryer
with desiccant, ensure the heater wires are positioned under the
slot in the base of the filler, and positively located away from the
filling area This ensures no obstructions are created within the
chamber, and allows a continuous flow of desiccant.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
To ensure reliability, always refill DX and DH Desiccant Air
Dryers with DRYFIL® desiccant material recharged using a
genuine domnick hunter 'snowstorm' filler.

Handling precautions
The product may contain some dust, if so an orinasal dust respirator should be worn when handling the product.
By providing adequate ventilation the dust levels in the working atmosphere should be maintained below
10mg/m 3 , the recommended maximum level for nuisance dusts.
The product is a powerful desiccant and will dry out the atmosphere, eyes, nose and mouth.
Eyes and skin coming into contact with dust or product should be washed with copious amounts of clean water.
If symptoms develop consult a doctor.
Any spillage should be swept away immediately because the spheres roll freely and it is very easy to slip if
walked on.
