Powerfeed: the next generation of pneumatic trim conveying systems
Powerfeed transforms waste logistics into a seamless competitive advantage. This advanced pneumatic trim conveying system connects your production line directly to your recycling unit, delivering trims with precision and minimal exhaust air. Engineered for low noise and superior energy efficiency, it handles everything from standard films to challenging tacky or high-speed trims. It is the ultimate continuous trim conveying solution for producers demanding a clean, automated, and turnkey path from winder to pellet.
Efficiency in motion
- Low noise & energy-efficient. Designed with variable speed blower control to tailor airflow perfectly, allowing installation directly within the production hall without noise pollution
- Minimal exhaust air. Delivers trims gently without excess air, preventing “balling” or bridging in the extruder hopper and ensuring maximum uptime for your repelletizer
- Universal trim handling. Capable of conveying all types of edge waste, including standard and high-speed trims
- Single point of responsibility. When paired with a Plasmac extruder, Powerfeed offers a fully integrated, turnkey recycling ecosystem from a single trusted partner
Suitable Materials & Applications
Standard Edge Trims

Industrial sectors for Powerfeed
Film Extrusion (Blown & Cast)
The standard for film producers. Powerfeed automates the journey of the trim from the winder knife to the recycling extruder, closing the loop instantly.
Unlock the full power of Powerfeed: how to integrate your Powerfeed
Inline Recycling Connection
Connect Powerfeed directly to an Alpha or Omega extruder via the Trim Basket. This creates a fully automated, hands-free loop where waste becomes pellets instantly.
Offline Collection
Use Powerfeed to convey trims to a bagging station or baler if immediate recycling isn’t required, keeping your winder area tidy.
Supatrim Nip Integration
For extremely difficult or elastic trims, pair Powerfeed with Supatrim. This active nip system pulls the trim into the airflow, guaranteeing positive conveyance.
Why choose Powerfeed?
Turnkey simplicity
Stop juggling multiple vendors. Plasmac provides the blower, the ducting, and the recycling machine. One supplier, one responsibility, one perfectly integrated solution.
Lowest running costs
By using a Venturi system with precise variable speed control, Powerfeed consumes significantly less power than traditional large-blower systems, improving your return on investment.
Operator-friendly environment
Low noise means the blower can live in the production hall without disturbing your staff. The automated nature of the system frees operators to focus on making quality products, not handling trash.
Reliability by design
A simple, rugged construction with few moving parts means Powerfeed just works. It eliminates the blockages that cause downtime in pneumatic transport systems.
Venturi principle of operation
A suction is generated via a high-efficiency Blower and Venturi system. This captures the trims from the winder or slitters and conveys them pneumatically to the destination (recycling machine or basket).
Precision air control
Unlike crude systems that blast air, Powerfeed controls the volume closely. Trims arrive at the extruder with minimal entrained air, preventing “blow-back” and ensuring easy gravity feeding into the screw.
Rugged construction
Built to withstand the rigors of 24/7 industrial operation. The components are durable and designed for minimal maintenance, ensuring years of trouble-free scrap conveying.
Flexible installation
Distance has never been a problem. Powerfeed is engineered to convey materials effectively over long pipe runs, allowing you to position your recycling equipment wherever it makes the most sense.
