Design
Solaris improves the state of
commercial drying in virtually
every way. The Solaris line
advances energy efficiency,
performance, durability,
usability and style as only
ADC can. At the center of the
achievement: energy savings of
up to 30%. And that is just
the startof a full spectrum of
ownership benefits. We invite
you to see drying technology
in a whole new light.
With its multi-functional diagnostics, the Solaris
microprocessor monitors the entire dryer to
maximize performance, increase operational
efficiency and reduce downtime. It reports dryer
service needs via a scrolling display that can reduce
guesswork and service time. It can also alternate
messages between two languages – a more intelligent
approach to a multi-cultural world.
Reverse tumbling ensures that the load doesn’t
“rope” or “ball up”, providing a quicker, more even
drying process. Solaris makes what used to be an
expensive option reserved for 3-phase power users
available to those with standard single-phase voltage.
Smooth and comfortable in the hand, Solaris door
handles exemplify the attention to detail that improves
the user experience in every way.
Simplyopen the lower panel, and 98% of the
serviceable components are right at hand. The Solaris
line virtually eliminates the time-consuming effort
involved in servicing components on competitors’
rear-access dryers.
With safety in mind, Solaris drying tumblers
automatically display a message to clean the lint
drawer at pre-set intervals. No guesswork, no
forgetting about this vital maintenance task. And
thanks to a strong, non-wearing magnetic closure,
the lint drawer stays flush to the front surface,
maintaining the sleek good looks.
When compared to other dryers in their load class,
the footprint of the Solaris drying tumbler translates
into more productive value for each square foot of
the laundry floor. While others are space wasters by
comparison, Solaris lean machines enable you to
reclaim floor space and maximize dryer count.
Optional pedestals elevate the machines to a
comfortable height. Standard laundry carts fit
under an open door for easy loading/unloading.

Performance
Industry-leading energy
savings combine with the
most advanced Auto Drying
Technology to ensure optimal
drying performance. Solaris
drying tumblers don’t
compete with other dryers,
they make other dryers
obsolete.
Dual Burners
Gas heated SL50 and SL75 models have a
unique, dual-burner design that enables Solaris
machines to maintain a tighter rangeof the set
temperature. This enables a dramatic reduction
in energyusagewithout sacrificing
performance. Added flexibility for
more delicate cycles can be
programmed to use the heat
from only one burner,
for more exact cycles
and energysavings.
Drum
The Solaris drum offers 100%
axial airflow – the only such design
on the market. Heat flows in from
the rear and is captured in the solid
(not perforated) stainless steel drum
while multiple heat sensors keep
temperatures even. By directing, retaining
and maintaining heat more efficiently, the
Solaris line achieves exceptional drying
results using less energy. They are virtually
wear-free and ultra-smooth, creating minimal lint.
Safety
Solaris drying tumblers are designed to be the safest dryers available
and meet both CSA and CE standards. They incorporate the patented
S.A.F.E., sensor-activated fire extinguishing system that responds
immediately to any fire. It is the only system that activates to a fire
condition either during operation or in an idol state. The S.A.F.E.
system quickly dispenses water to extinguish a fire then shuts itself down,
eliminating water damage and cleanup. In addition, the computer
read-out provides current dryer safety information and multiple,
self-diagnostic features.
Double-glass Door
Adouble layer
of glass seals heat
inside the dryer –
keeping the heat focused
on the laundry rather than
escaping to the outside.
Solaris drying tumblers are
cooler to the touchand keep
laundry rooms cooler,which can
help cut air-conditioning costs.
Power Regulation
Using two motors per tumbler, the Solaris
intelligently controls electrical operation
that minimizes the peak amperagedrawn
at start-up and provides added safety.
An ADC exclusive, the fan motor
first starts and verifies airflow. If
proper airflow is not present the
basket will not turn. Seconds
after airflow is verified, the drive
motor engages.
Other dryers aresimply no match.
Solaris utilize a unique Residual Moisture Control
sensing system to measure the presence of moisture
in the load. When moist laundry is present the sensing
circuit indicates a “wet hit” to the microprocessor.
Afuzzy logic algorithm computes the number of wet
hits and stops the dryer exactly when the load is dry,
saving time and energy.
Auto Dry Technology

Durability
Users can simply take for granted that a Solaris
drying tumbler will always start up. Hot surface
ignition is ultra-reliable and is an integral part
of Solaris efficiency and dependability.
ADC’s Solaris line is
the result of intelligent
design, engineering and
manufacturing. Offering the
most durable construction
of any dryers available on
the market, they are built
for long life and continued
returnon your investment.

Hot Surface Ignition
The 4-wheel drum supportsystem is inherently
more capable than trunnion or drive-shaft designs.
It is more stable, translates power into motion
more evenly and is more durable. It can eliminate
the costly service associated with older designs.
Stainless steel and epoxy based powder coated
steel provide beauty and brawn. Solaris epoxy
coatings are more durable than standard paint
and uniformly applied for super resistance to
abrasion and impact. Optional stainless steel
doors and front panels are virtually impervious
to wear while providing an unmistakably world-
class appearance.
Solaris boasts the most durable door in the
industry. Featuring hidden magnetic door
switches rather than damage-prone, plastic
mechanical action switches used by competitors,
they are designed to last the life of the machine.
It also prevents the switch from being bypassed
for added safety. The door swing on the Solaris
is limited to 140 degrees preventing doors from
hitting adjoining equipment while heavy-duty
stainless steel hinges are securely bolted through
two layers of steel. With vault-like durability
and integrity, they have been life tested for the
equivalent of 20+ years of operation, to stand
up to continuous, real-world use.
While Solaris represents the future
of commercial laundrydrying, the
entire line is firmly rooted in ADC
tradition. That includes a rigorous
inspection process. Eachmachine
receives thorough performance testing
(including complete cycle testing)
and a multipoint inspection before
it can earn the ADC name. Signed
inspection stickers make visible the
pride we take in ADC craftsmanship
and underscore our personal
commitment to our dryers’ long-
term performance and durability.

On Premise
The Solaris line was
unquestionably built for the
demanding, round-the-clock
needs of commercial
operations. By creating
machines with your needs
in mind, ADC offers you
dryers with more of what
you want in terms of
dependability, energy savings,
drying speed, serviceability,
convenience and safety.
Available in 20 and 30 lb, single-pocket or stacking
units, as well as 50 and 75 lb models heated by gas,
electricity or steam, Solaris on-premise dryers are
non-stop load warriors. With single-phase reversing
to prevent “roping” and “balling” and a unique
residual moisture controlled auto dry system, they
dry quickly and more efficiently. Solaris tumblers
consume less energy than other dryers on the market
without sacrificing dry times. Each dryer is designed
to achieve industry-leading results for demanding
operations from hotels to nursing homes to gyms.
As smart as Solaris machines are from an engineering
point of view, you will find your Solaris investment
even smarter from a business standpoint.

long run.

Coin Op
In addition to remarkable
energy savings and durability,
the Solaris line boasts a
smaller footprint than other
dryers of the same load
capacity. That means you
can fit more machines on
the floor space you have
and increase your revenue
potential without increasing
your overhead.
Energy savings of up to 30% are the highlight of
the Solaris line of tumblers. Available in 20 and
30 lb single pocket or stacking units as well as
50 and 75 lb capacities, Solaris coin-operated
models provide a complete package of effective
tools to create the most profitable operation
possible. Numerous standard features including
self-diagnostic, multi-lingual microprocessor,and
sleek, space-saving design that translates into more
efficient drying per square foot, make Solaris the
natural choice for any coin-op laundry.
