Material Transfer System

Our material transfer system is utilised in many recycling operations allowing pre-separated dry materials such as plastic containers, aluminum and steel tins and beverage cans to be conveyed through a range of ductwork directly to storage bunkers or balers using the most direct route, eliminating the need to utilise conventional belt conveyors, which can often take up valuable floor space.

Corrugated Board Trim Extraction System

Corrugated Packaging Trim Removal System

A corrugated trim removal and centralised dust control system was recently installed at a leading UK packaging manufacturer. The new setup streamlines waste management by efficiently extracting trim waste and airborne dust, significantly improving air quality and operational efficiency on the production floor. This installation supports cleaner, safer working conditions and enhances sustainability by enabling better material recovery and waste handling.

WEEE Material Separation - Air Drum Separator | Windshifter

Air Drum Windshifter at Plastics Recycling Plant

The Impact Air Drum Separator (ADS) and centralised dust control system were installed at a plastics recycling plant in the UK. This advanced setup enhances the separation of lightweight contaminants from recyclable plastics, while the dust control system improves air quality throughout the facility. The installation not only streamlines operations but also increases revenue by delivering cleaner plastics that achieve higher value in the recycling market.
