VENturI LOadErNMS-114

The Venturi hopper loader’s compact, lightweight and simple design makes it ideal to install in a wide range of applications, such as removable hoppers on WSB Micro Blenders, WSB Micro Plus and removable hoppers on “R” series blenders.The loader is suitable for conveying granular naturals, additives and dusty regrinds due to the integrated exhaust filter.

OperationThe loader operates by creating a vacuum with a supply of compressed air. The compressed air creates an air flow which pulls material over a local distance of 3 meters to feed throu-ghputs up to 70 Kg/hr with the supplied stan-dard length hose and probe.The operation is controlled by an adjustable level sensor mounted to the Pyrex Feed tube below the loader, ensuring an efficient process overall for small throughput applications. Once the hopper is loaded, the Venturi tops up small amounts often for efficient operation. A visual no load alarm is standard. The Pyrex Tube also allows users to easily view current operation and load status. The loader lid opens by rele-asing two quick release latches and the user then has rapid access to the large cartridge filter and screen, as well as the loader body for easy cleaning.

NMS-240 Mounting BracketThe optional NMS-240 mounting bracket al-lows for the automatic loading of AWF auger feeders.The bracket attaches to the side of the WSB hopper and a flexi-ble hose feeds the material into the AWF hopper. This is ea-sily disconnected for hopper removal and cleaning.

CENtraLISEd CONVEYINGSYStEM appLICatIONS

Centralised feeding systems are ideal for con-veying automatically plastics raw materials to production, especially when the conveying di-stance from storage to production is long.Conveying of granule materials are provided through a series of rigid pipe lines, connectedto a centralised vacuum pump or pumps, equipped with dedicated central filter. These systems have been designed to meet custo-mer’s expectations and to work with plasticgranules with a wide range of sizes and densi-ties, and also include materials such asflakes and/or regrind materials, with throu-ghputs up to 5000 Kg/h. The optional “MMS” (material speed control) device enhances con-veying optimising conveying speed for each type of plastic granule, avoiding formation of angel hair, wear of pipes and abrasion / dama-ge of materials causing for example powders. In addition, Maguire’s experience can offer specific solutions for conveying high tempe-rature materials, providing consistent perfor-mance for materials that have been dried.

MaNuaL MaNIFOLd

The selection of material to machine is ma-nually handle by the operator (on request a tagging system to avoid wrong coupling con-nection).

autOMatIC MaNIFOLd

Automatic manifold “AMM” guarantee the se-lection of material/machine through Matrix control with the transportation of the granules without any contamination.The design of the “AMM” allows any possible installation, vertical or horizontal avoiding flo-or space and better pipes route.

CONtrOL SYStEMS

With central systems we can also provide com-plete control and visualisation of the conveying process, plus improve the overall control on stock of raw material, consumption, long-term identification of production batches, alarms, historical trending, and also have direct ac-cess to total control of our systems (storage,

drying, feeding, dosing systems), providing a complete solution. From initial advice, design and specification, layout through to installa-tion, service and after sales support.

Our expertise is in conveying raw materials to the process automatically, conveying from bags, octabins, big-bags, silos or drying hop-pers. System solutions provide Customers with maximum flexibility in terms of safety and fully automatic management of the materials han-dling.Manual handling and control can lead to ove-rall process problems, materials wastage and quality issues. Contamination can be a ma-jor problem for the production process and quality; poor handling of raw materials can cost production with inconsistent product, and wastage of raw material.
