LPD Dryers

Low Energy LPD dryers, first generation of Maguire vacuum drying technology.

• For 30, 100 and 200 lb/hr (14, 45, 90 kg/hr) throughputs
• Energy efficient vacuum drying method
• Suitable for small lb/hr (kg/hr) technical drying

Energy Efficiency

• Energy to HEAT material from ambient temperature to target drying temperature is the same for all drying processes.
• Energy to DRY material is where the differences occur when comparing a Maguire LPD dryer to all types of Desiccant dryers.
• Side-by-side testing of the vacuum dryer and a desiccant dryer shows 70 – 80% reduced energy consumption.

Energy Saver Modes Built in as Standard

• Temperature Sense Control: Temperature is controlled efficiently with energy saver modes built in as standard.
• Heater and blower are automatically regulated to ensure that only the required amount of heat and air flow are used to bring material up to temperature.

Speed of Drying

• LPD dryers use vacuum as the main method to dry versus air desiccant.
• Typically, vacuum dryers dry 6 times faster than conventional desiccant dryers.
• This dramatically reduces energy used to dry material and translates to more production time.

Low Energy Components

• No regeneration process, no added energy used.
• Compared to Desiccant dryers, LPD dryers use only one smaller blower and heater sized based on smaller volumes and energy efficiency.
• Low maintenance: no scheduled maintenance requirements and no consumables.

Fast ROI

• LPD dryers quickly payback in the short term and continue to payback through energy reduction in the long term.
• Energy usage – one Desiccant day = one LPD week.
• Indirect benefits – increased productivity, reduced start-up scrap rates and reduced energy usage for the same time period.
