Abstract: A dryer for industrial parts, such as engine blocks, is disclosed having a receiving frame and a conveyor which sequentially moves the industrial parts into the receiving frame. A lock pin is movably mounted to the frame and movable between a lock position in which the lock pin engages the industrial part and prevents the movement of the industrial part relative to the receiving frame, and a release position in which the lock pin is spaced from the industrial part thus permitting movement of the industrial part relative to the receiving frame. A shaft is rotatably mounted to the housing and secured to the receiving frame while a motor is mechanically coupled to the shaft so that, upon activation of the motor and with the lock pin in its lock position, the motor rotatably drives the frame with the industrial part thus expelling water and debris from the industrial part by centripetal force.
