CONVEYING
Venturi Loader
NMS-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.
Operation
The 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 throughputs up to 70 Kg/hr with the supplied standard 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 releasing 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 Bracket
The optional NMS-240 mounting bracket allows for the automatic loading of AWF auger
feeders.
The bracket attaches to the side of the WSB
hopper and a flexible hose feeds the
material into the AWF
hopper. This is easily disconnected for
hopper removal and
cleaning.

Clear-Vu®
Loading System
The Clear-Vu® Loading System provides all the
benefits of a mini-central system with the added convenience of portability and low maintenance.
AVR-1 Mini Receiver is
ideal for loading small
hoppers and bins.
Standard features:
Full view of the loading action
Direct view of the loading makes it easy for
operators to monitor operation and adjust fill
times.
AVR-10 with removable
receiver lid for easy cleaning
Reduction of clogging
Clogging is reduced with a patented deceleration chamber that facilitates separation of
material from the air stream and a fast-action
slide-gate that prevents pellet entrapment during material discharge.
Low wear and maintenance
The stainless steel blast plate that deflects material into the receiver is replaceable. The system uses only a single, brushless motor and
receivers have no filters to clog.
Ready access for cleanout
The top cover of the receiver includes the vacuum valve, material inlet and cleanout port.
The dust collector features a bag type filter
with blow-back and a hinged pivot tray for easy
removal.
Power units
include pump,
dust collector
and controller.

The Clear-Vu® Controller
8 station control that is expandable to 24 stations.
Easy setting of fill time
Push-button activation of the “Autofill” software sets the fill-time for each station.
Automated loading
The controller sequences through the various
stations, loading each as the level sensor at
the station calls for material.
Load failure alarm
A load-failure alarm with reset is incorporated
in the controller.
Remote controller operation
Each controller is removable for remote operation.
Multiple power unit sizes
The power unit is portable, and is available
with a 1, 2.5, 5 or 10 HP blower.
Multiple small systems increase
reliability
The use of several Clear-Vu® Loading Systems
instead of reliance on a single larger central
system increases versatility and ensures continued production.

Manual manifold
The selection of material to machine is manually handle by the operator (on request a
tagging system to avoid wrong coupling connection).
Glass version branches for medical or abrasive
application
Automatic manifold
Automatic manifold “AMM” guarantee the selection 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 floor space and better pipes route.
Centralised Conveying
System Applications
Centralised feeding systems are ideal for conveying automatically plastics raw materials to
production, especially when the conveying distance from storage to production is long.
Conveying of granule materials are provided
through a series of rigid pipe lines, connected
to a centralised vacuum pump or pumps,
equipped with dedicated central filter. These
systems have been designed to meet customer’s expectations and to work with plastic
granules with a wide range of sizes and densities, and also include materials such as
flakes and/or regrind materials, with throughputs up to 5000 Kg/h. The optional “MMS”
(material speed control) device enhances conveying optimising conveying speed for each
type of plastic granule, avoiding formation of
angel hair, wear of pipes and abrasion / damage of materials causing for example powders.
In addition, Maguire’s experience can offer
specific solutions for conveying high temperature materials, providing consistent performance for materials that have been dried.
Detail about the internal rotation
Our expertise is in conveying raw materials
to the process automatically, conveying from
bags, octabins, big-bags, silos or drying hoppers. System solutions provide Customers with
maximum flexibility in terms of safety and fully
automatic management of the materials handling.
Manual handling and control can lead to overall process problems, materials wastage and
quality issues. Contamination can be a major problem for the production process and
quality; poor handling of raw
materials can cost production
with inconsistent product, and
wastage of raw material.
Control Systems
With central systems we can also provide complete 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 access to total control of our systems (storage,
drying, feeding, dosing systems), providing a
complete solution. From initial advice, design
and specification, layout through to installation, service and after sales support.
