LPD SeriesDryers

The Maguire Low Pressure Dryer™ (LPD) is a revolutionary device that uses vacuum to accelerate the resin drying process. The use of vacuum provides many benefits compared to conventional drying technology.

Maguire Products did not invent the science of low pressure (vacuum) drying. In fact vacuum drying has been used in the manufacturing process of plastic resins, chemicals, food and pharmaceuticals for many years. But, Maguire Products is the first to bring this technology to the plastics industry in a package that is affordable, reliable and simple to operate.

While conventional dryers merely heat pellets and keep them hot as moisture works its way to the surface (a very energy intensive process), the LPD Dryer uses vacuum to literally pull moisture out of resin pellets. As a result, the LPD dryer reduces the time needed to properly dry resin from as much as four hours to only 40 minutes and cuts energy consumption by up to 80%.
