Top 10 Plastic Pneumatic Conveying System Suppliers in Australia

Tucked away in Brisbane’s industrial hub, ConveyPulse has been a household name in material handling since 2005. What started as a small team fixing conveyor belts has grown into a full-service provider, and their plastic pneumatic conveying systems are now used in over 200 recycling plants nationwide. “We focus on systems that don’t just work—they work for you ,” says Mark Thompson, their lead engineer. “Too many suppliers ship one-size-fits-all equipment; we design around your space, your materials, and your budget.”

Their star product? The EcoFlow Pneumatic Series , built specifically for plastic recycling. It handles everything from fine powders to large flakes (up to 50mm in size) and integrates seamlessly with dry process equipment—perfect if your line includes shredders or granulators. Clients rave about the energy efficiency: one Sydney-based facility reported a 22% ｄｒｏｐ in electricity bills after switching from a mechanical conveyor. And with 24/7 support across major cities, you’re never left stranded if something needs tweaking.

What really sets them apart? Their commitment to sustainability. Many of their systems come with built-in air filtration, and they’re one of the few suppliers in Australia offering retrofits for older machines to reduce emissions—pairing well with air pollution control system equipment for clients aiming for carbon neutrality.

If there’s one thing Melbourne-based AirFlow Solutions prides itself on, it’s understanding the unique challenges of the Australian market. “We don’t just import European designs and call it a day,” laughs Sarah Chen, their sales director. “Our systems are tested in the heat of Perth, the humidity of Darwin, and the dust of regional recycling yards—because Australian conditions aren’t like anywhere else.” Founded in 2010, they’ve quickly become a go-to for small to medium-sized businesses thanks to their flexible, cost-effective setups.

Their ProLine Pneumatic Conveyors are a hit with plastic recyclers processing mixed materials. The modular design means you can start small (say, a 5-meter line for a startup) and expand later—no need to overhaul everything when your business grows. They also offer custom pipe layouts to navigate tight spaces, which is a lifesaver for urban facilities where square footage is at a premium. “A client in Adelaide had a layout so tricky, three suppliers said ‘impossible’—we got it done in six weeks,” Sarah adds.

And let’s talk after-sales: AirFlow’s tech team offers on-site training so your staff feel confident operating the system, and their parts warehouse in Melbourne means most repairs are sorted within 48 hours. For businesses new to pneumatic conveying, that peace of mind is priceless.

When it comes to high-capacity operations—think large-scale plastic manufacturers or industrial recycling plants processing 10+ tons of material daily—Perth’s PneumaticPlus is the name that comes up. Founded in 1998, they cut their teeth building systems for the mining industry before pivoting to plastics, and that heavy-duty heritage shines through. “Our systems are built to take a beating,” says operations manager Jake Wilson. “We’re talking 24/7 run times, abrasive materials, and minimal downtime—that’s non-negotiable for our clients.”

Their flagship MegaFlow Conveyor is a beast: it can move up to 500kg of plastic pellets per hour over distances of 100+ meters, making it ideal for connecting multiple processing stages (shredding, washing, extrusion) in a single facility. They also specialize in integrating with hydraulic briquetter equipment—a popular add-on for clients who compress plastic waste into dense blocks for easier transport. “One of our biggest clients in Newcastle uses our conveyor to feed their hydraulic briquetter, and they’ve cut their transport costs by 40%,” Jake notes.

The downside? Their systems aren’t cheap—but you get what you pay for. With a 10-year warranty on critical components and a team of engineers available for on-call support, PneumaticPlus is for businesses that prioritize long-term reliability over upfront savings.

Not every recycling operation needs a massive industrial setup—and that’s where EcoMove Systems comes in. Based in Adelaide, this family-owned business has made a name for itself by catering to small to mid-sized facilities, community recycling centers, and even artisanal plastic workshops. “We started because we saw too many small businesses priced out of good equipment,” says founder Lisa Patel. “A local charity recycling program shouldn’t have to choose between buying a conveyor and paying staff—that’s where we step in.”

Their CompactFlow Series is designed for tight spaces and lower budgets, with models starting at under $10,000. These systems are lightweight, easy to install (most clients set them up in a day with basic tools), and perfect for moving smaller volumes (50-200kg/hour) of materials like plastic bottle flakes or 3D printing waste. “We had a client in Hobart running a community 3D recycling hub—they needed to move PLA scraps from collection bins to their extruder, and our CompactFlow fit the bill perfectly,” Lisa explains.

EcoMove also stands out for their commitment to education. They offer free online guides on maintaining pneumatic systems and host workshops across regional Australia to help small operators get the most out of their equipment. For businesses just starting their recycling journey, that kind of support is a game-changer.

If sustainability is your top priority, look no further than CleanAir Conveyors. Based in Byron Bay, this B-Corp certified company has built its brand around eco-friendly design—from using recycled steel in their frames to developing energy-efficient blowers that cut power use by up to 35%. “We don’t just sell conveyors; we sell systems that help businesses meet their net-zero goals,” says sustainability director Mia Green.

Their EcoClean Conveyor is a standout: it uses a closed-loop air system that filters and recycles air, reducing emissions and eliminating the need for external exhaust vents. It’s also compatible with air pollution control system equipment, making it a favorite among clients in eco-sensitive areas (looking at you, Tasmania and the Blue Mountains). “A winery in Margaret River uses our system to transport plastic packaging waste, and they’ve been able to market their ‘zero-emission recycling’ as a selling point for their sustainability-focused customers,” Mia says.

The trade-off? Their systems are slightly slower than some industrial models (to prioritize energy efficiency), so they’re best for businesses that value environmental credentials over breakneck speed. But for brands building a green reputation, that’s a trade worth making.
