flow and adaptability for a wide range of applications and it is currently offered in three standard frame sizes. By incorporating bolt-on safety features and custom- isable components, it minimises maintenance requirements while enhanc- ing operational safety. The company says an internal agitation system is essential for breaking up clumps and preventing bridging. Agitators, driven by inde- pendent motors, ensure a consistent flow of material, while adjustable speeds allow operators to fine-tune feeding rates. Late last year, Genesis
Process Solutions intro- duced the NXT26 and NXT45 feeders from Kubota Brabender Technologie, which have also been modified to handle sticky, poor-flowing materials like powders, fibres, and gran- ules. The NXT series features a novel “negative angle” hopper design that ensures optimal material flow into the twin screws without bridging. Both the NXT26 (compact 50 dm³) and NXT45 (larger 110 dm³) are equipped with an inclined agitator and a twin screw with smart motor which enables precise control and flow accuracy. Both models are easily disassembled for wet or dry cleaning, have accessible service points, and the gravimetric versions feature digital load cells with advanced filter technology, ensuring interference-free measurement and CE compliance. At NPE 2024, Maguire unveiled its MGF Feeder family for the first time in the US. MGF feeders offer a

range of benefits, including Prime Calibration, high accuracy, dual load cells, precision stepper motor con- trol, fast material changes, modular design, and unique software functions like 100X Color Inject. Integration to any process is possible at no extra cost, and the product line is made up of five series providing unparalleled flexibility. “The MGF Feeder Family
represents the next evolu- tion in gravimetric dosing solutions, providing processors with a compre- hensive range of options to optimise their material handling processes,” said Frank Kavanagh, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Maguire. “The MGF+ line allows proces- sors with differing needs to take advantage of multi- station dosing of additives
and masterbatches, giving users more choices on how best to dose, mix, and control materials.”
Drying solutions Maguire also demonstrated its Ultra Vacuum Dryers at the event, which are designed with energy efficiency in mind. “Our Ultra Dryers represent the pinnacle of efficiency in materials drying,” said Frank
