This tool serves to dry samples of raw materials or fabrics that are tested in the PT. ABC. The method used is preventive maintenance with block replacement. The results of the calculation of the Thermo Circulation Dryer Inspection Schedule obtained comparative results, namely, In the initial condition the inspection frequency is 1 time per year with a downtime value of 0.391 days. Meanwhile, the result of the proposal is that 1.29 times a year inspection is carried out with an expectation of 0.303 days of downtime or 2.11 hours less. The results of the proposed preventive maintenance schedule for the Circulating Thermo Dryer are 1.29 times per 365 days or the equivalent of 2 times for one year.
