• a cabinet that defines an opening for accessing a drum within the cabinet;
• a blower within the cabinet that delivers process air along an airflow path;
• a foreign particulate removal assembly having a first lint filter and a second lint filter that each extend from a binding member, wherein the foreign particulate removal assembly is operable between a collection position, wherein the binding member engages the opening and the first lint filter and the second lint filter are positioned within the airflow path, and a maintenance position, wherein the binding member and the first lint filter and the second lint filter are outside the airflow path;
• a transparent panel coupled to the cabinet proximate to the foreign particulate removal assembly in the collection position of the foreign particulate removal assembly, such that at least one of the first lint filter and the second lint filter are visible through the transparent panel in the collection position of the foreign particulate removal assembly;
• and
• a door pivotably coupled to the cabinet and operable to pivot between a closed position, wherein the door covers the opening defined by the cabinet and the binding member, and an open position, wherein access to the drum and the binding member is provided via the opening.
