CP Group Partners with Impact Air

The CP Group, San Diego, and Impact Air, Leicester, U.K., have formed an exclusive partnership in the United States, Canada and Mexico enabling the CP Group to include Impact Air’s equipment in its systems where applicable.

The CP Group, which includes CP Manufacturing, Krause Manufacturing, MSS and IPS Balers, engineers, manufactures and installs material recovery facilities (MRFs) internationally. The CP Group offers equipment for single-stream recycling, waste to energy, construction and demolition, municipal solid waste, electronic scrap and green waste sorting systems.

Gary Price, CP Manufacturing’s general manager, says, “We have worked with Impact Air for several years now through our U.K. branch, CP Manufacturing Europe, and have developed a strong relationship. Recently, we have formed an exclusive agreement, focusing on further developing Impact Air products for the recycling industry. We look forward to continuing this partnership and expanding these resources into the market to provide better solutions to our existing and future clients.”

Impact Air has developed and offers solutions to support fully automated material recovery systems. Its systems use air to convey dust and dry materials, such as foil, film and fractions of paper and plastic, which can be very costly and difficult to remove from the material streams.

Impact Air’s advanced Film Vac system consists of a series of specially designed material collection hoods that are commonly mounted above sorting belts and used to transport hand-picked material, reducing labor costs and eliminating the need for transfer conveyors and additional storage bunkers. The Air Knife Separator by Impact Air is designed to remove low-value “light” fractions from the material stream.

The CP Group now represents Impact Air’s recycling solutions in North America.

Terry Ward, technical sales manager of Impact Air, says, “Having worked with CP Group for a number of years, the relationship between the two companies is very strong and successful. The business and technical approach of CP Group and Impact is very similar, which makes working together so easy.”

Ward continues, “Impact Air manufactures a range of air systems, and each system is tailored to complement the overall CP Group package. We can now jointly and specifically develop solutions for each customer because of the localized sales and engineering support CP Group is able to provide. We look forward to improving and continuing our successful partnership.”
