Maguire : Shorter drying cycles by using vacuum
Maguire Inc., USA has introduced the new Low Pressure Dryer (LDP). Vacuum is used for the first time to dry the granules. Due to the higer steam pressure the drying cycle could be reduced to approx. 20 minutes. The temperatures of 70 - 100 degree C is lower compared to conventional dryers. The LDP is already available in the US and will also be introduced in Europe this year.
