Scrap Systems for Manufacturers

8 March 2024

integratedAIR Systems has been providing production waste and trim extraction systems since 2002 in a wide variety of industries looking to streamline their production line. Our waste removal systems are being used across the globe and in a wide range of industries and applications to increase efficiency, reduce labour costs, and increase profitability from recycling or upcycling their production waste.

Scrap Systems for Manufacturers

Corrugated Board

Edge trim removal can be particularly challenging when dealing with corrugated materials. Corrugated board is often thick and heavy and as the trim is removed, it can create endless strips.

On a fast-moving production line, it's vital that your extraction system can handle the collection and removal of scrap waste; corrugated trim is often chopped to improve conveyance and ensure easier compacting and baling.

Hygiene and Disposable Paper Products

All paper production creates a degree of dust, however tissue and hygiene paper is especially effective at producing a large quantity of fine dust particles.

Dust and airborne fibres increase the risk of fire and can pose risks to the health of your workers, necessitating the removal of particulates from the air as well as larger waste materials by your waste extraction system.

Our air conveyance systems are built around your specific production requirements, so we can tailor waste handling, removal, conveying and compacting to your unique processes.

Tissue waste extraction

Carton Board

The weight of carton board offcuts can present a challenge for some air systems.

Our automated carton board packaging removal systems will keep your production area waste-free; we use heavy-duty ductwork, a high-speed air stream and chopper fans to reduce the size of individual pieces of carton waste.

The reclaimed carton waste is then compacted and baled, ready for recycling, reselling, or removal.

Newspaper and Magazine Printing

Collecting and removing print waste is essential to maintaining an effective newspaper or magazine print production line.

integratedAIR waste removal systems enable presses to run faster to maximise productivity – they also minimise downtime by reducing jams and time lost to manually re-adjusting the print register.

Our systems automatically reclaim large volumes of waste from machines across the print floor, collecting and conveying it for compacting, baling and recycling.

Aluminium and other metal trim

Your production facility has multiple points where aluminium waste can be created: from presses to trimmers to reject points.

integratedAIR Systems produces whole-floor waste extraction air systems to enable the automatic removal of aluminium can scrap. Heavy-duty ductwork ensures the system remains robust, and we can add choppers and separators to make sorting, compacting and recycling materials more straightforward and cost-effective.

This significantly improves recycling outcomes, as well as allowing easy integration with the expansion of your business into future product lines.

Foil, film, and other packaging

Automatically remove foil, film, and other waste from your food production to boost your productivity and efficiency while reducing the need for manual intervention.

Our air systems utilise powerful waste trim collection hoods to maximise extraction, waste collection, and the amount of waste compacted and sent for recycling, reselling, or reuse.

Shell extraction

Textile waste

Waste carpet, fabric and flooring trim left in the production area can cause serious health and safety hazards, and compromise production efficiency. But the automatic removal, conveying and collection of textiles can result in a valuable recyclable resource.

integratedAIR Systems' waste removal equipment provides a complete solution to textile waste issues. We'll help protect your production efficiency and reclaim more scrap material with high-velocity air streams to ducting, shredders, and separators.
