eyelid device, which has a reaction time of 25ms to ensure accurate dosing. The Rotopulse technology evolves for micro-dosing by means of a pulse system, down to a tenth of a gramme in the dosing of masterbatch. Its range of X Comb mini dryers has also
expanded with the new XC19 model, which is suitable for processing technical polymers at up to 60 kg/h. Distinctive features include the Honey- comb technology in 100% zeolite with high absorbent capacity, OTX hopper and Hyper Flow turbo compressors with variable flow.
Core advances
Some suppliers showcased a range of materials handling solutions at K2025 last year – with Maguire presenting advances across its four core product groups: drying, blending, feeding, and connectivity. “Each innovation delivers measurable savings,
increased uptime and advanced process control, empowering our customers to improve their performance and ROI,” said Frank Kavanagh, global vice president of sales & marketing at Maguire.
One highlight, the Gen 4 Ultra Vacuum Dryer,
introduced a streamlined touchscreen interface and expanded portfolio. New variants Ultra 150E, 300E, and 300+ extend throughputs to 165, 285, and 440 lb/hr (75-200 kg/hr), filling critical capacity gaps for PET and extrusion applications. All Ultra models feature Maguire’s 15-minute Pit Stop material changeover capability, slashing downtime from hours to minutes and delivering average energy savings of 60% against desiccant dryers. Maguire also highlighted its first gravimetric
blender, the WSB 280MP, featuring eight remov- able hoppers for rapid changeovers, easier cleaning and added dosing flexibility. At the core of Maguire’s integration strategy is
Fusion, a control platform that unites blenders, feeders, conveying and extrusion control within a single, intuitive touchscreen interface. During the show, Fusion was displayed with live conveying and extrusion control, showing how a single controller streamlines operations and reduces scrap. The system featured a WSB 140 MP blender, MGF+2 feeders, FlexBus Lite conveying controls, Clear-Vu receivers, and real-time extrusion stabilisation, delivering a “total-control” experience for proces-
