Engineered Recycling Systems (ERS) makes aluminum scrap and dust collection systems designed specifically for beverage can and closure manufacturing. From the moment aluminum coil enters production, every stage generates trim, slugs, and fine dust that must be captured with precision.

Cupping presses cut and shape coil into cups, producing edge trim and offcuts. Bodymakers form container walls at high speed, creating fine aluminum dust and occasional mis‑drawn pieces. Trimmers remove excess material from formed bodies, producing continuous ribbons of scrap. Washers and decorators add coatings and graphics, releasing overspray and airborne particulates. Necking and seaming operations generate small amounts of trim and dust during forming and closing. End‑making lines stamp and curl closures, including bottle caps and can ends, producing slugs, trim, and fine particles.

Without a dedicated aluminum scrap and dust collection system, this byproduct accumulates quickly, reducing efficiency, complicating compliance, and creating housekeeping challenges. Aluminum dust in particular requires careful control to protect workers, equipment, and air quality.

ERS systems capture scrap and dust at the source, consolidate flow, and move material seamlessly out of the production environment. Our pneumatic scrap conveyance solutions transport trim ribbons and slugs efficiently through enclosed ducting, while dust collectors control fine particulates from bodymakers, washers, and decorators. Integrated scrap handling ensures clean aluminum recovery for recycling. Energy‑efficient designs lower operating costs while maintaining compliance with environmental standards.

Competing with Innoveyance, Impact Air Systems, IntegratedAIR, AT Industrial, and RGS Vacuum Systems, ERS builds complete engineered solutions tailored for aluminum can and closure production. We don’t adapt equipment from other industries — we design for the speed, precision, and compliance requirements of modern container plants.

By turning aluminum scrap and dust into a recoverable resource, manufacturers improve margins, support sustainability commitments, and maintain safer, cleaner production environments. With ERS systems in place, high‑speed lines remain efficient, profitable, and environmentally responsible.

Engineered Recycling Systems delivers high‑efficiency dust collection systems for tissue converting, hygiene product manufacturing, and paper packaging. Our solutions ensure OSHA and NFPA compliance, clean air, and energy‑efficient dust filtration.

At Engineered Recycling Systems (ERS), we design advanced dust collection systems for tissue converting and hygiene production facilities. Airborne fibers and dust are captured directly at the source, protecting operators, stabilizing production, and ensuring compliance with OSHA and NFPA dust safety standards. Our technology integrates seamlessly into high‑speed converting lines, providing tissue dust filtration that maintains air quality and reduces fiber buildup, hygiene product dust control for diaper and personal care manufacturing, energy‑efficient dust filtration that lowers operating costs while maintaining performance, workplace safety in tissue industry through improved visibility and reduced fire risk, and tissue converting dust extraction that keeps production lines clean and compliant.

Dust is compacted into recyclable pucks, simplifying disposal and supporting clean air manufacturing practices. Trusted by leading manufacturers in tissue converting, hygiene products, corrugated board, and paper packaging, ERS systems deliver reliability and efficiency across the industry.

Clean air isn’t optional—it’s operational. Let ERS engineer your solution.

The U.S. recycling industry in 2025 is shaped by rising e‑waste volumes, volatile commodity markets, and growing sustainability mandates. Copper demand continues to surge as electrification expands across energy, automotive, and infrastructure sectors. At the same time, recyclers face pressure to deliver cleaner material streams and higher recovery rates while managing cost and labor challenges.

Engineered Recycling Systems (ERS) provides solutions designed for this environment. Our copper recovery systems maximize yield from electric motors, wire, cable, and shredder scrap, producing high‑purity copper that supports profitability even when market conditions shift. Built with mechanical precision and engineered durability, ERS technology reduces downtime and ensures recyclers can operate efficiently under demanding conditions.

By transforming discarded motors and cables into valuable resources, ERS systems contribute directly to the circular economy. This approach helps recyclers align with sustainability goals while securing consistent output in a competitive market.
