Clear-Vu Loaders

The Clear-Vu Loading System from Maguire Products provides all the benefits of a central system with the added convenience of portability and low maintenance. This complete vacuum conveying system provides automatic loading of up to 3,000 lbs/hr (1,350 kg/hr). The Clear-Vu controller provides the backbone of a flexible loading system that will control up to 8 stations.

Direct view of the loading action.

Clear receivers make it easy for operators to monitor loader operation and adjust fill settings. New AVR-1 mini receiver (right) is ideal for loading small hoppers with limited mounting space such as MicroBlenders and feeders.

Easy setting of fill time.

As the receiver is filling the operator uses a pushbutton to activate the "Autofill" software. When the desired level has been reached, the button is released and the fill time for that station is set.

Automated loading.

Once load times have been set for each receiver, the controller sequences through the various stations, loading each as the level sensor at the station calls for material. A load-failure alarm with reset is incorporated in the controller.

Flexible deployment.

The power unit is portable, and is available with 1, 2.5, or 5 HP blower. In plants with many processing lines, use of several Clear-Vu Loading Systems instead of reliance on a single larger central system increases versatility and ensures continued production by isolating problems that may occur. Each controller is removable for remote operation.

Reduction of clogging.

Patent pending innovations in receiver design include: a deceleration chamber that facilitates separation of material from the air stream; and a fast action slide-gate that prevents pellet entrapment during material discharge.

Low wear and maintenance.

The stainless steel blast plate that deflects material into the receiver is replaceable. The system uses only a single, brushless motor and receivers are filterless.

Ready access for cleanout.

A single aluminum casting that serves as the top cover of the receiver includes the vacuum valve, material inlet and cleanout port. The dust collector features a bag type filter with blow-back, and a 5 gallon pail that sits upright on a hinged pivot tray for easy removal.
