Self-contained vacuum loaders convey up to 1200 lb/hr at distances approaching 60 ft. Central in-plant conveying systems run up to 20,000 lb/hr at distances to 500 ft or greater.
For minimum floor space PowerMax-HP compact positive displacement pump has accessories that include vacuum gauge, muffler, vacuum relief valve, and vacuum switch, which electrically signals vacuum status to the microprocessor control. Full sound enclosure for a quiet operation is a standard feature. Available in single or multiple pump configuration. Various voltages available; sizes range from 3-25 hp.
Maxi-Vac regenerative pump offers low maintenance, minimum floor space and is designed to be quiet and economical to install and operate. Pumps are self-contained with their own motor starter. Designed for central or modular plant layout with capacities to 2500 lb/hr, various voltages and vacuum chambers are available. A wide range of vacuum chambers/receivers allows flexibility in handling material. LS² chambers are of heavy-duty construction with a protective cage around flapper assembly. Material contact surfaces are of stainless steel with exclusive no-paint GB finish. Seamless interior is easy to clean and allows free-flow material with no ledges to catch material. Sizes range from 0.75 to 6 cu ft. Optional external dual-ratio valve allows on-the-press proportional loading of virgin and regrind. Also available is the easy-flow chamber for hard-to-flow materials.
Quick Draw and LS series self-contained glass tube chambers available with 2-, 4- and 8-in. chambers. Capacities range from 150 to 950 lb/hr.
Operator configurable 82i vacuum system control can operate one or two vacuum pumps up to eight individual stations. Either pump can operate any station. No additional wiring required. Optional dual-ratio control for all stations.
FACS (Factory Acquisition Control System) permits plantwide control of material-conveying systems as well as monitoring of most SPI compatible equipment such as mold temperature control units, chillers, dryers and blenders. Two-wire power and communications network in conjunction with Windows platform makes system economical to install, easy to set up and operate, and simple to expand and reconfigure. Through a PC or compatible Allen Bradley or Sieman PLCs with touchscreen displays, user can control or monitor systems performance from plant floor or remotely. Users can import drawings/pictures to show system configurations or location of equipment. Monitoring and recording setpoints, equipment performance, material flow and equipment selection can be set up with a single command. FACS has full graphing capabilities and a built-in SQL database processes all information and stores it with a complete set of reports for immediate or future use. FACS may be connected to a wired or wireless network and has Factory Direct Support and Factory Direct Email to any manufacturer with a full set of reports.

Dryers for Resins
DHD and PCT² series dehumidifying hopper dryers with process airflow up to 10,000 cfm, low dewpoint to -100 F (average dewpoint -60 F). PCT² dryers incorporate company's pulse cooling technology. Units have a minimum of moving parts; clamps provide easy and quick access to the regeneration heater, process heater, and desiccant beds. Designed for safety and efficiency, heater packages use tubular elements, double-wall construction and insulation, and minimize power consumption. Tubular heaters with low-watt density design increase heater life. Multiple electric heater elements provide redundancy and extend heater life. FCX microprocessor controller is the standard control for the DHD and PCT2 Series Dryers. Additionally, there are two expanded microprocessor controls available. All microprocessor controls feature SPI communications protocol capabilities, automatic temperature set back mode for idle time, digital dewpoint monitoring, multilevel password protection and more. Most are available with electrical power options, which range from 208 to 575 v in 50 or 60 cycle. Hoppers range in capacity from 300 to 25,000 lb. Gas-fired DHD and PCT² dryers also available.
GS series of low-dewpoint, twin-bed desiccant dryers are operator and maintenance friendly systems with FCX-GS microprocessor control that ensures versatility, simplicity and reliability. Dryers designed for quick startup and quick ship. Available in four models from 30 to 150 cfm. Standard features include microprocessor controls, material saver function and SPI communications protocol. Digital dewpoint monitor is optional. Standard configurations include hopper mount, floor mount with process air heater located in dryer enclosure, or floor mount with process air heater mounted remotely on the hopper for optimum efficiency. Dryers complement modular hoppers and combine to create modular drying systems in a variety of configurations.
GS economical portable drying and dry-air conveying system with FCX microprocessor control allows for rapid setup and startup. Unit includes seven-day clock and Material Saver functions. Optional dewpoint meter. All components easily accessible, and unit can be stationary as a beside-the-machine dryer or mounted on a frame and beam stand with its five-wheel easy glide system for portability.
TSC drying hopper is all stainless steel, solid cone and seamless interior for quick material change. System is also available with a dry air conveying package using Autoload minimal inventory loaders. Drying capacity ranges from 20 to 250 lb/hr, and drying temperatures range from 1400 F to 3500 F.
