Maguire’s latest dryer is aimed at moulders


Hall 10/A26 The main exhibit on the Maguire stand will be the newest addition to its latest energy-saving vacuum dryer family – the VBD 150. Designed with a throughput of up to 89 kg/h, the new version is more suitable for injection moulding applications than the original VBD 1000. Like its larger predecessor, the VBD 150 uses a simplifi ed design that has been opti- mised to maximise reliability without sacrifi cing perfor- mance – the company claims


the unit will dry resin six times faster than a desiccant dryer while using less energy. “The VBD 150 vacuum


dryer has the exact same design and mode of operation as our larger model, using gravity to move material through vertically arranged stages of the drying process, with the discharge of material from one stage to the next controlled by slide-gate valves,” says Maguire Europe general manager Paul Edmondson.


The VPD design eliminates


the three-station indexing carousel used on Maguire’s original LPD vacuum dryers, replacing it with three vertically-arranged insulated vessels for heating, application of vacuum and storage of dried polymer. Maguire claims vacuum drying cuts energy use by up to 60% compared with desiccant dryers. The company says start up times are cut to one-sixth, while resin thermal exposure of the resin is reduce by up to 83%.  www.maguire.com
