Product catalog summary
Overview: The Sweeper System is designed to automatically empty gaylord containers without human intervention. It features a rotating action that moves resin to a slotted pickup tube for vacuum removal, reducing labor and waste.
Standard Features:
  • Automatic Material Removal: The system's rotating action ensures continuous movement of resin to the vacuum point.
  • Labor and Waste Reduction: Eliminates the need for manual intervention and minimizes material waste.
  • Compact Design: The system's footprint is slightly larger than the container being unloaded.
  • Safety: Operates without heavy-duty hydraulics, reducing pinch points and enhancing safety.
  • Ease of Use: Containers can be positioned using a pallet jack, eliminating the need for a forklift.
  • Cost Efficiency: Operates on 115 V electricity, requiring no compressed air and drawing less than 2 amps.
  • Signal Lights: Indicate operational status and rotation.
  • Energy Savings: A vacuum switch ensures operation only when necessary, extending motor life.
Warranty: Maguire Products offers a 5-year warranty against defects in material and workmanship.
How It Works: The system includes a structural steel stand, vertical rails, a trolley with a rotating tube, and a flexible vacuum hose. The sweeper mechanism moves pellets to the outer edges for efficient vacuuming, leaving less than 10 lb. of pellets.

Reduces labor No one has to manually move the pickup tube because resin is constantly moved to the vacuum point. Reduces waste Effective material removal keeps resin from being thrown away. Small footprint Footprint is slightly more than the gaylord being unloaded. Safer than a tilt table The sweeper has no heavy-duty hydraulics with pinch points and low torque and rotation speed provide inherent safety – no guards required. Easy placement of resin containers A pallet jack can move the container into position…no forklift required. Lower installation and operation costs The Sweeper requires no compressed air and operates on 115 V electricity, drawing less than 2 amps. Signal lights Lights indicate when the unit is “ON” and when it is rotating. Energy savings / extended motor life A vacuum switch allows the unit to operate only while your vacuum system is pulling material. Thus, this system is always ready, never has to be manually started or stopped. There is a Jog button to rotate the unit manually. Model SW-4815 Dual Sweeper

The Sweeper gets its name from the fact that it continuously "sweeps" gaylord to the outer edges. The material is vacuumed up by a slot- ted pickup tube that is attached to the end of a flexible suction hose. The whole lower section descends and rotates in a way that forces the pickup tube to vacuum up the mate- rial without interruption, including the material that is swept into the corners of the container. Ultimately, less than 10 lb. of pellets remain. • A sturdy structural steel stand that straddles the gaylord allowing easy front access, • A set of vertical "rails" carry a "trolley" up...
