33 EVENT REVIEW PETplanet Insider Vol. 25 No. 11/24 www.petpla.net Featuring efficiency and cost savings Maguire Products, a global leader in materials handling solutions, highlighted a series of products designed to enhance efficiency, reduce costs, and deliver precision for plastics processors. Blending solutions Maguire’s Gravimetric Batch blender was a key highlight at the company’s booth. Engineered for precise dosing, material traceability, and rapid material changes, these blenders are claimed to offer the flexibility to handle small and large-scale production needs. The models WSB MB Micro and WSB 240R were presented, both of which designed to ensure quick returns on investment through operational efficiency and precise material control. Plastics drying The Ultra Vacuum dryer was also on full display. Renowned for its energy efficiency and drying speed, the Ultra dryer offers savings of up to 80% in energy costs, drying materials up to six times faster than traditional desiccant drying methods, says Maguire. Visitors to the stand could interact with the featured Ultra150 and Ultra 300 models and explore potential cost savings using Maguire’s interactive Savings Calculator. Expanded gravimetric feeder line The MGF feeder family, recently expanded to over sixty models, provides dosing accuracy for additives and masterbatch, with 20-30% savings over volumetric systems. Featured models, including the MGF and MGF+100X-3 with integrated extrusion control, demonstrated enhanced precision for both extrusion and moulding applications. FlexBus conveying control system Maguire also spotlighted its FlexBus central conveying system, designed for seamless plant-wide material handling control. Compatible with various equipment, FlexBus offers intuitive touchscreen interfaces, while the FlexBus Lite version provides a streamlined solution for smaller-scale operations. Both systems are retrofittable to third-party equipment, allowing processors to upgrade their systems without major overhauls. Tracker monitoring & reporting system The company’s new Tracker Monitoring & Reporting System has been designed to empower processors with realtime, web-based monitoring and control for blenders, feeders, dryers, and conveying systems via any web-enabled device. Fully integrated with third-party databases, Tracker delivers comprehensive reports that support smarter decision-making and improved operational efficiency. www.maguire.com Ultra Vacuum dryer The shortest cut to success With SACMI, you can convert to tethered cap production effectively without compromising productivity.
