Maguire, Aston, Pennsylvania, has introduced its new ULTRA 2200 series dryer. The ULTRA 2200 is designed to meet the higher throughput requirements of central drying, sheet extrusion, preform and fiber markets and offers much faster drying than conventional methods while using significantly less energy.
While the principal phases of the vacuum drying process remain the same as those of the existing ULTRA-150, ULTRA-300, ULTRA-600 and ULTRA-1000 models, the ULTRA-2200 utilizes a pair of identical multi-function chambers that alternate in sequence to provide an uninterrupted flow of dry material. Each chamber can self-load, heat, vacuum and dispense. This design allows for a compact arrangement with a relatively low ceiling height requirement.
“Energy savings, faster drying times, less waste and quick material changes all contribute to the unrivaled value ULTRA dryers bring to the plastics processor,” said Frank Kavanagh, vice president of sales and marketing.
