3. The type of agitator and the RPM depend on what in agitated pan dryer?
a) Surrounding conditions
b) Surrounding temperature
c) Material to be dried
d) Volume of material desired
View Answer
Explanation: The RPM depend on the material to be dried.
4. What is the vacuum dryer suitable for?
a) Heat sensitive materials
b) High molecular weight material
c) Low molecular weight materials
