Specialist Extraction Solutions for Foil, Film & Flexible Packaging
At Impact Air Systems, we specialise in the design, manufacture, and installation of bespoke extraction systems for challenging waste streams such as foil, film, and flexible packaging. These materials – often used in food and laminated product packaging – require careful consideration during system design due to their physical properties and recycling value. Our tailored solutions ensure reliable removal, efficient transport, and optimised recycling of these difficult waste types.
Foil Lattice Waste Removal – Maximise Uptime, Minimise Waste
Managing foil lattice or skeletal waste during packaging production can be labour-intensive and disruptive. Our foil extraction systems are engineered to significantly boost productivity by automating the removal of this waste directly from the press, eliminating the need for manual rewinding and reducing unplanned downtime.
Multiple machines can be linked to a centralised extraction system, where waste is pneumatically conveyed across the production area and directly baled — turning a production challenge into a recyclable revenue stream. Smartly designed trim collection hoods integrate seamlessly around the press, working in tandem with local mini chopper fans to break the foil lattice into manageable, conveyable pieces.
Film and Flexible Packaging Waste – Precision Handling for Lightweight Materials
Handling thin films and laminated packaging waste requires a precise, controlled approach. Our systems include high-performance precision trim cutters that break down lightweight film at the source, enabling smooth pneumatic transport through ductwork to a central compactor or baler.
Whether you’re managing waste from a single press or multiple production lines, we provide scalable solutions that minimise waste build-up, free up valuable floor space, and improve operational flow — all while supporting your recycling and sustainability targets.
