Top 5 Plastic Pneumatic Conveying System Suppliers in Europe [2025]

Founded in 2008 in Berlin, EcoFlow Convey Systems has built a reputation as the go-to for businesses that refuse to compromise on customization. Walk into their headquarters, and you’ll find a team of engineers huddled over blueprints, not just designing systems, but reimagining how plastic moves. “We once had a client in Austria who needed to convey mixed plastic flakes—some as light as feathers, others as dense as pebbles—through a maze of tight corners,” says Maria Schmidt, their lead design consultant. “Instead of forcing a standard solution, we built a dual-pressure system with adjustable air flow, so each flake type gets exactly the push it needs. Now, their downtime is down by 40%, and they’re saving €30,000 a year on material waste.”

EcoFlow’s secret? They treat every project like a puzzle. Their systems are modular, meaning they can grow with your business—add a new production line, and they’ll simply extend the conveying network without tearing up your floor. But what really sets them apart is their focus on the human element. “We don’t just hand over a manual and leave,” Maria adds. “Our technicians stay on-site for the first month, training your team, tweaking settings, even sharing tips on how to spot potential issues before they become problems. It’s not just about selling equipment; it’s about making sure you succeed.”

Beyond their custom designs, EcoFlow has also made waves with their energy-efficient motors and smart sensors. Their latest system, the EcoPulse 3000, uses AI to adjust air pressure in real time, cutting energy use by up to 25% compared to traditional models. And yes, they walk the sustainability talk—90% of their system components are made from recycled steel, and they offset 100% of their carbon emissions through reforestation projects in Eastern Europe. It’s no wonder they’ve become a favorite among eco-conscious brands, from small family-run recyclers to multinational plastic manufacturers.

If EcoFlow is the customization king, AeroTrans Europe is the efficiency expert. Based in Milan, this family-owned business has been perfecting pneumatic conveying since 1975, and their decades of experience shine through in every system. Step into their test facility, and you’ll see rows of conveyor lines humming away, each one calibrated to move plastic with surgical precision. “Our grandfather started with a simple goal: make conveying so reliable, our clients forget it’s there,” says Luca Moretti, the company’s third-generation CEO. “Today, that means systems that run 24/7 with barely a hiccup—and when they do need attention, our response time is under 2 hours in Italy, and 24 hours across Europe.”

AeroTrans’s claim to fame is their “Silent Flow” technology, which reduces noise levels to just 65 decibels—quieter than a normal conversation. For workers on the factory floor, that’s a game-changer. “We visited a client in Spain last year where employees were wearing earplugs just to work near the old conveyor,” Luca recalls. “After installing our Silent Flow system, they told us it felt like the factory had been transformed. Workers were less stressed, productivity went up, and even the coffee breaks were more relaxed—small things that add up to big results.”

But efficiency isn’t just about speed; it’s about sustainability, too. AeroTrans’s systems are designed to minimize air loss, a common issue that wastes energy and increases costs. Their patented “AirLock” valves trap air in the line, ensuring every cubic meter of compressed air is used to move material, not leak into the atmosphere. And for businesses looking to go the extra mile, they offer optional integration with their plastic hydraulic briquetter units—turning conveyed plastic scraps into dense briquettes that are easier to store and transport. It’s a one-two punch that has made them a staple in Italy’s thriving plastic recycling sector and beyond.

When it comes to cold climates and tough conditions, Nordic Air Systems is in a league of its own. Based in Stockholm, this supplier was born out of a need: Sweden’s long, freezing winters were wreaking havoc on standard pneumatic systems, causing pipes to freeze and motors to overheat. “We started by solving our own problem,” says Erik Larsson, founder and chief innovator. “Our first system was in our backyard workshop, built with insulated pipes and heaters that kick in automatically when temperatures ｄｒｏｐ below 5°C. Now, we supply to clients in Norway, Finland, and even Iceland—places where other suppliers fear to tread.”

Nordic Air’s systems are built like tanks, but they’re surprisingly smart. Their “Arctic Flow” line uses sensors to monitor temperature, humidity, and material flow, adjusting settings on the fly to prevent clogs or freezing. “Last winter, a client in Tromsø had a blizzard hit while their system was running,” Erik laughs. “The wind chill was -30°C, but their conveyor kept moving. They called us the next day, shocked—it was like nothing had happened. That’s the Nordic promise: we don’t just build for the best days; we build for the worst.”

But they’re not just about surviving the cold. Nordic Air is also a leader in air pollution control system integration. Their conveying lines come with built-in dust collectors and filters that capture 99.9% of airborne particles, ensuring compliance with Europe’s strictest air quality standards. For recyclers handling dirty or contaminated plastic, this is a lifesaver. “A client in Denmark was struggling with dust complaints from neighbors,” Erik explains. “After installing our system, their dust emissions dropped to almost zero. Now, they’re not just compliant—they’re the neighborhood’s favorite recycler.” It’s this combination of ruggedness and care for people and the planet that makes Nordic Air a standout in Northern Europe.

Not every business has the space for a massive conveyor system—and that’s where CompactMove Solutions comes in. Based in Rotterdam, this supplier specializes in small-footprint pneumatic conveyors that pack big performance into tight spaces. “We started noticing a gap in the market,” says Femke de Jong, their founder. “Small and medium-sized recyclers were being forced to choose between inefficient manual labor or expensive, space-hogging systems. We wanted to give them a third option: something that fits in their workshop but works like a larger system.”

CompactMove’s systems are a marvel of engineering. Take their bestseller, the MiniFlow 500: it’s just 1.2 meters wide, can be mounted on wheels for easy repositioning, and yet can move up to 500 kg of plastic per hour. “A client in Brussels has a workshop so small, they used to stack plastic bags in the hallway,” Femke recalls. “Now, the MiniFlow runs along the wall, moving material from their shredder to their extruder without blocking a single doorway. They told us it felt like adding an extra employee—one that never takes a break.”

But don’t let the size fool you—these systems are tough. CompactMove uses high-grade aluminum and reinforced plastic components, making them lightweight but durable. And they’re affordable, too: their entry-level models start at €15,000, a fraction of the cost of larger systems. “We believe sustainability shouldn’t be a luxury,” Femke says. “Every business, no matter how small, should have access to tools that help them recycle better. That’s why we offer flexible financing and even rent-to-own options—we want to grow with our clients.” It’s this commitment to accessibility that has made CompactMove a darling of Europe’s small business community, from craft plastic workshops to local recycling cooperatives.

For businesses that need to move mountains of plastic, MegaFlow Industrial is the name to know. Headquartered in Lyon, this supplier specializes in large-scale pneumatic conveying systems for industrial giants—think automotive part manufacturers, packaging plants, and major recycling hubs processing 10+ tons of plastic daily. “Our systems are like the autobahns of the conveying world,” says Pierre Dubois, their technical director. “They’re built for speed, capacity, and reliability, even under the heaviest loads.”

MegaFlow’s flagship system, the Titan 10000, can move up to 10,000 kg of plastic per hour through a network of pipes that can stretch over 100 meters. “A client in Germany’s Ruhr Valley needed to connect three separate factories across a 500-meter campus,” Pierre explains. “We installed a system that moves plastic pellets from their main plant to two satellite facilities, 24 hours a day. It’s reduced their truck deliveries by 80%—no more traffic, no more fuel costs, just a steady flow of material.”

What really impresses clients, though, is MegaFlow’s focus on safety. Their systems come with multiple fail-safes: pressure sensors that shut down the line if a blockage is detected, fire suppression systems, and real-time monitoring that sends alerts to both on-site teams and MegaFlow’s 24/7 support center. “Last year, a sensor picked up an unusual vibration in a client’s system in Spain,” Pierre recalls. “Our team was on a video call with their engineers within 15 minutes, guided them through an inspection, and identified a loose valve before it caused damage. That’s the peace of mind we provide—even when you’re moving tons of plastic, you never have to lose sleep.” With clients like BMW, L’Oréal, and Veolia, MegaFlow has proven they’re the heavyweight champion of European pneumatic conveying.
