Pneumatic Conveyance Systems

High Velocity Waste Transport for Recycling and Manufacturing Operations

REI’s Pneumatic Conveyance Systems provide a clean, efficient solution for moving recyclables, trim waste, and light materials through your facility. Built for paper, plastic, and packaging operations, these systems use air flow instead of mechanical belts or screws to transport materials directly to shredders, balers, or collection points. Designed and manufactured in North Carolina, REI systems deliver quiet operation, minimal maintenance, and reduced energy consumption, keeping your production line moving smoothly while maintaining a cleaner, safer work environment.
