Testimonials

"We run the Airlift Separator on a CEC screen and it has definitely met our expectations. It did exactly what we were told it would do by cleaning up the plastic from our “middles.” It has made a product that was previously not marketable, due to plastic contamination, into a saleable product. We would recommend it to any processing site that has a problem with plastic contamination."

"The Airlift is a dynamite machine for its effectiveness in removing plastic from our wood waste. We make a quality product but continue to fight plastic contamination in our wood waste processing. The Airlift has made our product better, so much so that it has all but eliminated the frustration of having to deal with customer complaints regarding the contamination in our finished products."
