Maguire Technology Day | Tuesday 10th November | 10:00 to 15:30 | Summit Systems, Tamworth
Material control has a direct impact on cost, consistency, efficiency and overall production performance.
Whether you are already using Maguire equipment or are exploring ways to improve blending, dosing or drying within your process, the Summit x Maguire Technology Day is designed to give plastics processors practical insight into how smarter material control can deliver measurable improvements.
Taking place at Summit Systems in Tamworth on Tuesday 10th November, the event will bring together Summit, Maguire and guest speakers from ENGEL and Plastribution, with proven technologies running live throughout the day.
Here are five reasons to join us.
1. See Maguire technology live in action
It is one thing to read about a blender, doser or drying system. It is another to see the technology operating and understand exactly how it works within a real plastics process. Throughout the day, we will be running Maguire technology live in our demonstration area, giving visitors the opportunity to explore blending, dosing and drying technology first-hand. You will be able to see how the equipment operates, ask questions and discuss how different technologies could fit into your own production environment. The focus of the event is very much on seeing proven technologies in action, rather than simply talking about them.
2. Discover opportunities to reduce material waste
For plastics manufacturers, material is one of the biggest production costs. Small inaccuracies in blending or dosing, inconsistent material preparation and unnecessary giveaway can quickly add up across thousands or millions of parts. One of the key themes of the Technology Day will be how better material control can help manufacturers reduce material waste and make better use of every kilo entering the process. We will explore how accurate blending and dosing, combined with better process visibility, can help manufacturers identify areas where material savings could be made without compromising quality or output.
3. Improve consistency and repeatability
A consistent material process supports a consistent production process. Variation in blends, additives, masterbatch or material condition can affect both product quality and the stability of production. The Technology Day will explore how greater control can help improve repeatability, consistency and quality, giving manufacturers more confidence in what is happening from batch to batch and part to part. For existing Maguire users, this is also an opportunity to look at whether current equipment could be optimised further. For manufacturers who are new to Maguire, it is a chance to see what a more controlled approach to material preparation could bring to their process.
4. Understand where greater automation could benefit your process
Material control is not just about accurately measuring ingredients. Modern systems can also help manufacturers automate more of the process and gain greater visibility of what is happening across production. The event will look at how smarter material control can support increased automation and greater process accountability, helping production teams better understand material use and overall process performance. That can mean less reliance on manual intervention, better access to process information and a clearer understanding of where improvements can be made.
5. Speak directly with experts about your own applications
Every production environment is different. One of the biggest benefits of attending the Summit x Maguire Technology Day is the opportunity to talk about your own applications, challenges and objectives directly with the people behind the technology. The Summit and Maguire teams will be available throughout the day to answer questions and discuss different approaches to blending, dosing, drying and material control. We will also be joined by guest speakers from ENGEL and Plastribution, bringing together expertise from across machinery, materials and plastics processing. This gives visitors the opportunity to look beyond one individual piece of equipment and consider how different parts of the plastics process work together.
Get more from every kilo
The Summit x Maguire Technology Day is about helping plastics processors find practical ways to improve performance. That could mean reducing waste, improving consistency, increasing automation, gaining better process control or identifying opportunities to improve return on investment. These are the core outcomes the event has been built around.
Whether you already operate Maguire equipment or simply want to understand what smarter blending, dosing and drying could offer your production process, the day is an opportunity to see the technology, speak to the experts and take away ideas you can apply to your own operation.
