New MaxiBatch™
Blender, Maguire’s
largest blender at
8000 lbs/hr is ideal for
compounders (i.e. wood
composite applications).
It can handle up to
twelve ingredients
including powders.
Upgraded MicroBlender®,
Maguire's smallest blender;
stainless steel hoppers;
enhanced mix blade/static
dam; improved handling of
poorly flowing materials.
When Steve Maguire popularized the gravimetric batch blender
in the 80’s, he started out small, working from his house. From
those early blenders, the line has grown both larger and smaller;
big and little, if you will. Now, the new Maxi Batch™ is the
largest volume blender at 8000 lbs/hr and the littlest one- the
Micro Blender™- is still well…micro. The concept however
remains the same, actually improving through field trials. The
real-world test is having 30,000 units installed worldwide.

The biggest
little story
in blending.
Steve Maguire, President and
Founder Maguire Products, Inc.
Leading bumper to bumper
warranty in the industry.
Steve Maguire remembers his days as a processor and the
ever-present pressure to produce. Technology, after all, is supposed
to work for you, not against you. That’s why Maguire sees blender
logic as the gateway to process control in the future. Accuracy,
precise dosing, economy of materials never go out of fashion.
And little things count, especially as resin costs rise.
So the big story is really about combining productivity with
savings. Why not make a little move today and contact us?
Who knows? It could make a big difference.
