After the load is dry, a cooling process is required to prevent burned hands
or to prevent product wrinkles or product damage. Final temperatures used for the cool down process may depend on the
type of products, themselves. It may also be determined by the method in which the dryer discharge is handled. For
example, bath towels are typically cooled to a temperature range of 125-F to 140-F. If no one will handle the towels
until they are conveyed, dropped into a sling bag and railed to a finishing station, the operator might cool down to 140-F
or higher, with the knowledge that these loads will cool further prior to human contact.
Although cool down temperatures used are determined by each laundry, the following
is a good rule of thumb to go by.

This little outdoor dryer has heat, rotation and airflow, just like an indoor unit, but cool down might
require a push into the shade.
