Used Maguire Plastic Material Handling Equipment for Sale

Maguire was founded in 1977 by Steve Maguire in Aston, Pennsylvania, with a focus on solving practical material handling problems for plastics processors. From a single-product startup, the company grew into a global technology leader, operating seven manufacturing facilities in Aston and maintaining seven international subsidiaries that support an extensive worldwide distributor network. The guiding principles established at the company's founding — accuracy, quick return on investment, and ease of use — have remained central to every product generation since.

The WSB Weigh Scale Blender series is Maguire's flagship product line and the world's most widely installed gravimetric blender, with close to 60,000 units running globally. The WSB range spans a broad throughput spectrum, with models such as the WSB-140R for smaller processing machines, the WSB-220 and WSB-220CF multi-component configurations, and the high-capacity WSB-940 for demanding production environments. On the drying side, the LPD series of low-pressure vacuum dryers uses a three-canister carousel design to dry plastic resin dramatically faster than conventional desiccant equipment, with side-by-side testing showing 70 to 80 percent reduced energy consumption versus desiccant dryers. The newer Ultra dryer line extends this vacuum-drying technology with even lower energy consumption and faster throughputs.

Maguire equipment serves plastics molding, extrusion, and compounding operations across a wide range of end markets, including automotive, consumer products, electronics, medical device manufacturing, and construction. Processors running injection molding, blow molding, and extrusion lines in these sectors rely on Maguire blenders and dryers to maintain tight material ratios, minimize scrap, and protect resin quality before it reaches the machine throat.

Used Maguire gravimetric blenders and vacuum dryers are consistently sought on the secondary market because the machines are built to industrial-grade standards that allow them to deliver accurate, repeatable performance well beyond their original service life. The WSB controller architecture and mechanical components have remained largely compatible across generations, making spare parts and software upgrades straightforward to source. The energy savings built into the LPD dryer design mean that even older units deliver meaningful operating cost reductions compared to conventional desiccant alternatives, giving buyers a compelling economic case for purchasing pre-owned equipment.
