Material Transfer System

In today’s competitive recycling industry, optimising space, reducing manual handling, and maintaining a smooth material flow are critical to maximising throughput and profitability. Our Material Transfer System offers an alternative to traditional belt conveyors, providing a highly efficient, compact, and flexible solution for conveying pre-separated dry materials such as plastic containers, aluminum and steel tins, and beverage cans.

Why Choose Impact’s Pneumatic Transfer System?

Unlike bulky belt conveyors that consume valuable floor space and often require complex layouts, our pneumatic system uses a direct, overhead ductwork network to move materials quickly and cleanly from sorting stations to storage bunkers or balers. This design frees up floor area for additional sorting equipment or operational space, helping you maximize your facility’s footprint.

Seamless Integration with Advanced Sorting Technology

The system easily integrates with Eddy current separators, magnetic separators, optical sorters, and other pre-sorting technologies to receive material immediately after separation. Materials enter through a Venturi-style receiving hopper and transfer box, where they are gently introduced into a high-velocity, controlled airstream generated by a high-efficiency fan.

This airstream propels the material through the ductwork along the most direct and efficient route to your storage bunker or baler—ensuring continuous flow and reducing transfer times.

Unmatched Flexibility and Reliability

Designed with operational flexibility in mind, our Material Transfer System can be tailored to meet the unique layout and throughput requirements of your recycling facility. Whether your operation processes plastics, metals, or mixed recyclables, the system can be adapted to handle a broad range of material types and volumes.

Thanks to its robust, low-maintenance components, the system offers reliable, uninterrupted operation—minimising downtime and maintenance costs while boosting overall plant efficiency.

Benefits that Matter to Your Business
