Advanced Glass Separation & Recovery Solutions
At Impact Air Systems, we’ve spent many years developing and refining innovative separation and recovery systems tailored specifically to the demands of the glass recycling industry. Through close collaboration with our clients, we’ve gained a deep understanding of the operational challenges faced in glass cleaning and recovery — and we’ve responded with solutions that are robust, reliable, and results-driven.
Our systems are designed to integrate seamlessly into recycling facilities, delivering high-quality glass cullet with minimal manual input, increased automation, and consistently high recovery rates.
Trusted by Industry Leaders
From independent glass processors to major MRFs, recycling plants, and waste management companies, our solutions are widely recognised and respected across the industry. Impact systems are now an essential part of glass recovery operations in facilities across the globe, helping customers maximise material value and streamline operations.
Turning Waste into Revenue – and Savings
With landfill tax continuing to rise, the ability to recover valuable glass cullet from mixed waste streams delivers not only environmental benefits but significant cost savings. Our systems help customers divert thousands of tonnes of recyclable glass from landfill every year — reducing disposal costs, boosting recycling rates, and contributing to a more sustainable operation.

Glass Decontamination for Re-melt and Re-use
The Impact Zigzag Air Classifier uses specialist air technologies to separate the heavy material from the light material to provide the client with a contaminant free product for recycling (remelt).
Dust, fibres and plastic are removed from the material stream leaving only glass which will then be further processed by an optical sorter prior to remelt.
