"Impact's project management, equipment quality and overall attention to detail is truly impressive."
Biffa UK
"Caring for the environment is very important to us at West Coast Corrugated and the new filter from Impact ensures we are not emitting dust to the atmosphere. The cardboard dust that is captured by the fiter is also recycled to produce more paper, with the added bonus that our yard is kept clean and tidy!"
West Coast Corrugated
"You guys are the BEST! The system installed for our customer performs excellently and we are all blown away by the performance. Thanks again for all the first rate support!"
REI USA
"We are so pleased with the reduced loss on ignition (LOI) rate we now get from our material and it’s all down to the efficient separation of Impact’s Zigzag Classification System. I would highly recommend this system to all waste operators."
Hadleys Recycling & Waste Management
"Impact has always provided us with the peace of mind that our litho presses will continue to run wih absolute minimal downtime, thanks to the trim extraction systems from each press. The fact that Impact has been able to supply heat extraction systems for our digital press too, shows us its dedication to its clients, no matter what their requirements are. Both methods of extraction work very well for us and our production runs smoothly as a result."
