Integrated feeding & conveying systems: automate your scrap logistics
The efficiency of a recycling line is defined long before the material hits the screw. Manual handling, inconsistent feeding, and contamination are the primary causes of downtime and poor pellet quality. Plasmac delivers complete scrap handling systems designed to move your post-industrial waste (from the winder to the extruder throat) automatically and safely. We bridge the gap between production and recycling, ensuring constant material flow and maximum ROI.
Don’t let feeding be your bottleneck
- Consistency. Eliminate surging and starvation. Our automated feeders ensure the extruder receives a steady diet, stabilizing pressure and output
- Safety & labor. Remove operators from hazardous zones. Automating reel lifting and trim transport reduces accident risks and labor costs
- Purity. Enclosed pneumatic and mechanical transport systems protect your scrap from environmental contamination, protecting your machine and your final product
Find the solution for your waste stream
Edge Trims
Capture trims directly from the winder.
Powerfeed
The next-generation pneumatic trim conveying system. Low noise, energy-efficient, and capable of moving trims over long distances directly to the recycling unit.
Trim Basket
The essential interface for inline recycling. It separates transport air from the material, allowing trims to fall via gravity into the extruder or shredder.
Supatrim
Designed for the difficult jobs. A synchronized nip-feed system that handles high-speed, tacky, or stretchy film trims that clog standard pneumatic systems.
Reels
Process full rolls without pre-cutting.
Roll Feed
Automate the intake of off-spec reels. This unit unwinds and feeds rolls simultaneously with inline trims, turning warehouse waste into immediate value.
Flakes & bulk parts
Handle regrind, lumps, and loose parts.
Flake feeders
Precision auger feeding for flakes and regrind. Available as a Single Hopper for direct recycling or a Silo Feeder for high-volume buffer storage.
Elevator & Metal detector
The first line of defense. A rugged bulk material handling system that lifts loose scrap while detecting and rejecting ferrous and non-ferrous contaminants.
Why choose Plasmac?
Buying your feeding system from your extruder manufacturer guarantees performance
Single source responsibility
No finger-pointing between the conveyor vendor and the extruder vendor. We design the entire loop to work in harmony, ensuring the feed rate matches the melt capacity perfectly.
Turnkey installation
We calculate the airflows, design the ducting layouts, and integrate the electrical controls. You get a “plug and play” system that starts saving money from day one.
Energy efficiency
From variable speed blowers on the Powerfeed to AC drives on our augers, our handling systems are engineered to consume the minimum energy required to move the material.
Global Service & Plasmac-Hub Support
Our commitment doesn’t end at delivery. We support your entire logistics chain to ensure continuous operation.
System optimization
Whether it’s balancing pneumatic pressure for long-distance transport or calibrating metal detection sensitivity, our team ensures every component is tuned for peak performance.
Plasmac-Hub: 360° digital control
Manage your assets remotely. Through the Plasmac-Hub portal you can order specific spare parts instantly to prevent downtime.
Remote troubleshooting
Using advanced Augmented Reality tools, we can diagnose issues with your feeding systems in real-time, guiding your staff to solutions without waiting for an on-site visit.
Proven performance, trusted worldwide
Plasmac feeding systems are the backbone of efficient recycling plants across the globe. From automated reel feeding in Europe to complex trim transport systems in the Americas, we help producers automate the “dirty work” of recycling.

Circular economy
Efficient feeding is the unsung hero of sustainability. By automating the recovery of off-spec reels and inline trims, Plasmac systems ensure that 100% of production waste is captured and reprocessed immediately.
This prevents material loss, reduces the carbon footprint associated with waste transport, and makes circular manufacturing a seamless part of your daily operation
