The first ULTRA Low Energy Dryer for plastics.

Ultra-low kW energy usage – fast ROI and savings for a lifetime.

  • Drying costs so low, it’s almost free
  • Energy efficient unique vacuum drying technology
  • Faster drying, faster start-ups, minimal maintenance

ULTRA Energy – Efficiency Comparison

  • kW energy to HEAT raw material from ambient to required drying temperature is the same for all drying processes.
  • kW energy to DRY raw material is where the difference occurs, comparing ULTRA dryers to all Desiccant dryers.

ULTRA Low Energy – Operating Cost Savings

  • process running at 220lb/h (100kg/h) can typically see a kW difference of 41 Watts/lb (92 Watts/kg) with ULTRA dryers versus generic desiccant dryer.
  • This saves $6,500 annually at an example rate of 220lb/h (100kg/h) – whilst doing the exact same job.
  • ULTRA delivers savings year on year for its full life cycle.

ULTRA Low Energy – Dynamic Software

  • Temperature Sense Control – temperature is controlled efficiently with energy saver as standard.
  • Heater and air flow are automatically regulated to ensure only the required amount of heat and air flow are used to bring material up to temperature.

ULTRA Quick Drying

  • ULTRA dryers place materials under vacuum to dry rapidly, versus long exposure to desiccant hot dry air flow.
  • Normally, ULTRA dries material 6 times faster than conventional desiccant dryers.
  • ULTRA fast drying time provides quicker start-ups.

ULTRA Low Energy Components

  • No regeneration process, no added energy used.
  • ULTRA uses only one smaller blower and heater sized for smaller volumes and faster drying times.
  • Compact heating hopper – less material in process, less energy used, easier cleaning.
  • Minimal maintenance – no scheduled maintenance requirements and no consumables.

ULTRA Live Throughput Monitoring

  • Load cells monitor the vacuum chamber and retention hopper and provide live materials usage data.
  • Data allows the drying rate to efficiently follow and adjust according to the dryer consumption rate.
  • ULTRA live data makes for ULTRA efficient drying.

ULTRA Fast Return on Investment 

  • ULTRA dryers quickly pay-back in the short term and continue to provide energy reduction cost savings in the long term.
  • Energy usage – one Desiccant day = one ULTRA week.
  • Indirect benefits – increased productivity, reduced start-up scrap rates and reduced energy usage for the same time period.

  • For 30, 100 and 200 lb/hr (14, 45, 90 kg/hr) throughputs
  • Energy efficient vacuum drying method
  • Suitable for small lb/hr (kg/hr) technical drying

Energy Efficiency

  • Energy to HEAT material from ambient temperature to target drying temperature is the same for all drying processes.
  • Energy to DRY material is where the differences occur when comparing a Maguire LPD dryer to all types of Desiccant dryers.
  • Side-by-side testing of the vacuum dryer and a desiccant dryer shows 70 – 80% reduced energy consumption.

Energy Saver Modes Built in as Standard

  • Temperature Sense Control: Temperature is controlled efficiently with energy saver modes built in as standard.
  • Heater and blower are automatically regulated to ensure that only the required amount of heat and air flow are used to bring material up to temperature.

Speed of Drying

  • LPD dryers use vacuum as the main method to dry versus air desiccant.
  • Typically, vacuum dryers dry 6 times faster than conventional desiccant dryers.
  • This dramatically reduces energy used to dry material and translates to more production time.

Low Energy Components

  • No regeneration process, no added energy used.
  • Compared to Desiccant dryers, LPD dryers use only one smaller blower and heater sized based on smaller volumes and energy efficiency.
  • Low maintenance: no scheduled maintenance requirements and no consumables.

Fast ROI

  • LPD dryers quickly payback in the short term and continue to payback through energy reduction in the long term.
  • Energy usage – one Desiccant day = one LPD week.
  • Indirect benefits – increased productivity, reduced start-up scrap rates and reduced energy usage for the same time period.

Internal Bubble Cooling (IBC) is designed to automatically control and manage blower balance and increase cooling efficiency.

  • Non-contact, ultrasonic IBC bubble control
  • Precise layflat control
  • Waste reduction during start-up and changeover

Another critical factor on from materials blend and extrusion control for the performance of a blown film line is the IBC (Internal Bubble Cooling), with integrated auto width control for the layflat.

Upgrading a line without IBC & Layflat Control, or a line with a dated simpler system can deliver significant performance benefits for any blown film line.

Maguire + Syncro offer SYibc, which is a convenient and effective package for IBC and automatic Layflat Control. A processor can upgrade as a standalone product or integrated as part of the program of modular upgrades for improving performance on a blown film line from Maguire + Syncro range of products.

To enable fast and accurate control of a layflat width the SYibc uses a triangulation of 3 non-contact ultrasonic sensors, with a separate calibration sensor to moderate for ambient conditions. This data provides constant readings to the IBC PLC control, and enables the IBC stepper-controlled valves to be precisely regulated for fast and consistent control of the internal bubble cooling airflow.

Upgrading your line with Maguire +Syncro SYibc can quickly deliver these core benefits:

  • Improved control and increases production rates.
  • Optimize layflat control to less than ± 2mm of target set for LayFlat width control.
  • Increase internal cooling rates – increases production and process consistency.
