Automates Safe Shredding of Paper Cores and Corrugated Scrap No Manual Feeding Required
Engineered Recycling Systems (ERS) introduces the AFS-1500 Dump and Run Shredder, a fully automated machine designed to safely and efficiently process paper cores, flat corrugated sheets, and leftover roll scrap in the packaging and paper industry. This shredder eliminates manual feeding, replacing labor-intensive workflows with a cart-based loading system that keeps operators away from moving parts. Once the cart is positioned, the machine autonomously lifts and dumps the material onto a conveyor belt, which feeds it directly into the shredder without human intervention.
The AFS-1500 is engineered to handle high volumes of core waste and corrugated board scrap with precision and consistency. After shredding, the material is transported through a duct system to a cyclone separator, where dust is removed and clean output is prepared for compaction. The integrated baling press ensures that shredded material is bundled efficiently for disposal or downstream processing. Every stage of the system is monitored by sensors, light curtains, and a remote-access camera, allowing operators to oversee operations without entering the work zone.
ERS built the AFS-1500 to meet OSHA and NFPA standards without requiring additional safety equipment. The system’s enclosed design, automated logic, and dust control features support compliance while maximizing throughput. Facilities that process paper rolls, corrugated sheets, and core remnants can now upgrade to a hands-free shredding system that improves safety, reduces labor costs, and increases operational efficiency.
The AFS-1500 Dump and Run Shredder is more than a machine—it’s a strategic upgrade for modern packaging and paper operations. Contact Engineered Recycling Systems to discuss your specific scrap handling requirements and experience the future of core shredding.
