Frequently asked

questions

Do ULTRA Dryers only save money from energy efficiency?

No! ULTRA dryers generate large payback savings from gains in productivity by drying so fast. In fact, it’s like adding another process machine based on the savings from frequent materials changes!

The ULTRA dryer also saves significantly in other areas, such as maintenance, the removal or need for secondary dryers, plus ULTRA contains functions as standard that are expensive additional options elsewhere.

Finally, ULTRA benefits energy efficiency and ESG programmes and is also often eligible for local grants and funding for energy efficiency. What’s more, all ULTRA dryers are backed with a 5-year warranty.

How is ULTRA so energy efficient?

The ULTRA Dryer saves on energy usage by drying within a vacuum. Under vacuum, the boiling point of water drops considerably, and moisture radiates out of granules. This means far less time, less blower power, smaller heaters, no desiccant regeneration, and no need for chilled water.

Vacuum drying is well established in many industries such as food and chemicals processing – Maguire has taken this concept and developed ULTRA specifically for plastics processing.

What is the Dew Point of the ULTRA Dryer?

The ULTRA dryer uses vacuum to remove moisture, rather than typical dry air. “Dew Point” is a measure of the water content in the typical dry air process – instead (with ULTRA) we monitor the live vacuum pressure.

So, there is no need for Dew Point with ULTRA dryers. See the ULTRA vs Dew Point explanation here for a more complete overview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J6UhPlytgYM.

What maintenance does an ULTRA Dryer require?

Why isn't everyone using ULTRA dryers?

One day they will be! Maguire has pioneered drying by vacuum since 1998, and through 26+ years, we have developed 3 generations of dryers that improve drying by vacuum.

Now, application by application, the benefits of drying by vacuum are being realised versus traditional desiccant dryers (the way everyone used to dry materials).

Just like streaming music and iPhones replaced walkmans – we firmly believe ULTRAs will replace desiccants in time simply because of all the next generation benefits.
