News and Commercial Print

At Impact Air Systems, we specialise in the automatic recovery of paper waste and trim from commercial print production lines, helping printers drive efficiency, reduce costs, and create cleaner, safer working environments.

Our systems are designed to extract waste from a wide range of equipment — including three-knife and rotary trimmers, stitch-and-trim lines, guillotines, folders, bindery lines, and reject copy conveyors — enabling high-speed operations with minimal downtime and operator input.

Maximise Throughput, Minimise Risk

Efficient waste removal is no longer just a value-add — it’s a must-have for modern print facilities. By automating trim and waste collection, our systems:

• Improve machine uptime and throughput
• Reduce health and safety risks, including slip and trip hazard
• Lower the risk of fire from paper waste accumulation
• Minimise manual handling, creating a more streamlined workflow

Seamless Waste Transfer and Recovery

Waste paper is pneumatically conveyed through bespoke ductwork, discreetly routed within your building infrastructure, to a central plant room or external collection area. There, the conveying air and waste material are separated, and the recovered trim is deposited into a compactor, bulk trailer, or baler — often with a standby system included for continuous uptime.

Recycle More, Waste Less

By centralising and automating waste handling, your facility is better positioned to increase recycling rates, reduce operational costs, and support sustainability goals — all while freeing up valuable floor space and improving the overall site layout.

Heat and Fume Ventilation

In addition to waste extraction, Impact also provides fume and heat recovery systems tailored for modern commercial print environments — ensuring compliance with air quality standards and improving operator comfort.
