A panel assembly for use inside the rotatable drum of a clothes dryer for drying plastic containing clothes. The panel assembly comprises: (a) a perforated panel having a plurality of bores, this panel being of a size adapted to conform to the shape of a peripheral sector portion of the drum; (b) polytetrafluoroethylene coating the perforated panel for preventing the lint, dust, and plastic parts of the clothes from accidentally sticking to the panel and from clogging the panel bores; (c) a piano hinge, for edgewisely mounting the panel to the interior wall of the drum sector portion for relative movement of the panel between a closed position, in which the panel generally conforms to the drum sector portion spacedly therefrom, and an open position, in which the panel extends transversely to the drum sector portion interiorly thereof. The panel is releasably locked at its closed position by screws extending through the drum wall and through a panel flange located opposite the piano hinge. Accordingly, when the clothes dryer is in operation, the perforated panel is at a lower temperature than the rotating drum wall, thus reducing the likelihood of heat fusing of the clothes plastic parts against the perforated panel.
