Maguire Transforms Plastics Drying Efficiency at NPE 2024 with ULTRA Vacuum Dryers

Maguire Products, a leading innovator in materials handling solutions, will demonstrate its state-of-the-art ULTRA Vacuum Dryers at NPE 2024, spotlighting their unmatched energy and speed benefits for the plastics industry.


With a total focus on efficiency, Maguire ULTRA Dryers redefine the drying process, delivering significant time, energy, and cost savings.


"Innovation is at the heart of everything we do at Maguire, and our ULTRA Dryers represent the pinnacle of efficiency in materials drying," says Frank Kavanagh, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Maguire. "These dryers set a new standard for energy efficiency, resulting in substantial cost savings and enhanced productivity for our customers."


Maguire ULTRA Vacuum Dryers offer significant advantages over traditional dryers:


ULTRA Low Energy 

Maguire's ULTRA Dryers set a new standard for energy efficiency. They utilize minimal energy for material drying, resulting in substantial cost savings, reduced drying time, and increased efficiency.


ULTRA Efficient Drying Process

The vacuum drying process employed by ULTRA Dryers is exceptionally efficient. It ensures optimal moisture removal and guarantees consistent, high-quality drying results.


ULTRA Payback

Investing in ULTRA Dryers guarantees year-on-year savings, making them a financially sound choice for businesses aiming to reduce operational costs and boost productivity.


ULTRA Quick Drying

ULTRA Dryers accelerate the drying process, achieving drying speeds six times faster than traditional methods, thereby minimizing production downtime and maximizing operational efficiency.


ULTRA Low Maintenance

ULTRA Dryers offer a hassle-free and low-maintenance solution for material drying without desiccant, process filters, regeneration cycles, cooling requirements, or chilled water connections.


ULTRA Green

By significantly reducing energy consumption for drying identical materials, ULTRA dryers contribute to a decrease in CO2e emissions, aiding companies in meeting their Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) targets. 


“For example, a PET ISBM process running at 200 lb/hr throughout the year could save 157,783 kW by transitioning to ULTRA dryers. This results in an annual reduction of 121 US tons of CO2e. The substantial savings on a single process machine demonstrate immediate benefits and underscore the long-term environmental impact achievable on a single production line,” said Kavanagh. 


Latest ULTRA Developments to be featured at NPE 24


Maguire will unveil two groundbreaking developments at NPE 2024: "Pit Stop" and "Auto Batch." "Pit Stop" revolutionizes material changes, streamlining the drying process to achieve blends or material changes in as little as 20 minutes, enhancing efficiency and reducing downtime. Meanwhile, "Auto Batch" introduces a new level of automation, enabling operators to input desired throughput and automatically calculate material dispensing weight, optimizing energy efficiency and minimizing material in process during changeovers.
