Plasterboard

Impact Air Systems has become the go-to choice for plasterboard recycling companies across the UK, thanks to our proven expertise in density separation technology. Our systems are specifically engineered to separate gypsum from paper backing with high precision, ensuring the maximum recovery of reusable material — and helping operators achieve their zero-to-landfill goals.

Efficient Gypsum Recovery

We understand the importance of preserving valuable raw materials in a circular economy. Our separation systems allow gypsum to be recycled repeatedly, supporting sustainable operations and reducing disposal costs. With years of experience in this niche sector, we offer systems that are both robust and adaptable, ready to meet the needs of your facility.

Advanced Separation & Dust Control

Our core systems for plasterboard recycling include:

• Zigzag Separation System – A high-efficiency air classifier that separates gypsum from paper with minimal loss
• Air Knife Separation System – An effective method for lifting and removing lightweight contaminants
• Dust Control Systems – Ensures a clean, safe working environment, capturing hazardous airborne particulates and improving workplace conditions

Together, these systems provide a complete solution for efficient, compliant, and sustainable plasterboard recycling operations.
