One Maag America – Together, as a team, we can accomplish more Maag Gala – Dryers History and Future
Centrifugal Dryers are an integral part of any pellet processing systems. Maag Gala is known as the leading manufacturer of centrifugal Dryers in the world. Dryers are important in post-pelletizing as the drying process reduces residual moisture in pellets. Gala Dryers boast features that make them advantageable comparing to competitors: • Our Agglomerate Catcher limits size pellet flow through and restricts foreign object going through the process. Dry pellets in final hopper are consistent and as expected. • We strive to have pellets that are sized, right moisture, right temperature for the next process of each manufacturer from gum, asphalt, toy production, IV lines and bags, etc. • In the full life cycle of plastic processes, we are an important part of getting each customer consistency in their process lines. 8064
Dryer design and production at Maag Gala began in 1969, with the LEG or FALGO Dryers. This design featured a 36” nominal rotor, which design was built upon throughout the 1970’s through 1980’s which added taller editions. In the 1990’s the Conventional or “ CAN ” Dryers offered a complete welded housing and a 48” nominal rotor. Water systems were incorporated through the TWS integration. In the beginning there were limited manufacturing abilities which made customization more difficult. Later with the addition of a plasma cutter and laser used for sheet metal precision allowed for more options to meet customer need. Movement from drawing board designing to 2D CAD and now SolidWorks technology changed everything positively for the business. Over the years adding Dryer products that met demands of the market were critical. The Easy Access Dryers were designed with bigger doors with hinges to make operator use more practical. The shape and feet changed, as we began bending the outer surface. Entry into the recycling market with EA Dryers began with the first 5032 Dryer. This taller version created a shift to adjusting to larger/taller Dryer units overall. The requirements for taller Dryers from customers kept growing, actually making units so large there were new shipping challenges to overcome. The extremely large 8064 and 6064 Dryers are still operating in Saudi Arabia and the Netherlands.
