ERS black mass recovery systems are engineered to separate copper, aluminum, and other metal fractions from black mass—a fine granular material derived from shredded lithium-ion batteries. These systems are designed for recyclers and processors seeking high-throughput performance, consistent recovery rates, and low impurity output.

Each system is tailored to the customer’s feedstock and operational requirements, with a focus on scalable throughput and precise separation. ERS does not offer tolling or material processing services. Instead, we provide complete engineered solutions that enable clients to operate independently with full control over their recovery process.

Black mass recovery presents unique challenges in terms of material variability, metal purity, and system integration. ERS addresses these through modular design, robust separation technology, and proven installation workflows. Our systems are already supporting battery recycling and metals recovery operations across multiple sectors.

For organizations evaluating black mass processing options, ERS offers technical consultation and system engineering to match specific material profiles and facility layouts. Our goal is to deliver reliable, high-performance recovery systems that meet the demands of modern recycling and circular materials management.

A major U.S. wire manufacturer has recently installed a complete wire chopping and recycling system from ERS. The system was designed to process the company’s own production scrap—material that naturally accumulates during wire manufacturing. Every production run generates copper and aluminum scrap from trimming, changeovers, and off-spec cuts. In the past, this material was sold to external scrap yards, a common practice across the industry. But after evaluating the economics, the manufacturer realized that recycling in-house with an ERS system delivers significantly higher returns.

By recovering copper and aluminum directly from their own wire scrap, the company now retains full control over material flow and value. The ERS system integrates seamlessly into their production environment, turning a predictable byproduct into a profitable resource. This shift not only improves margins but also supports sustainability and long-term operational efficiency.

ERS systems are engineered specifically for wire and cable producers who want to capture more value from their own process. Whether you're manufacturing THHN, bare copper, or multi-conductor cable, our turnkey solutions help you recover metals, reduce waste, and close the loop on production scrap.

If you're a wire or cable manufacturer looking to capture more value from your own scrap, ERS delivers the system that makes it possible. Let’s talk about how in-house wire recycling can boost your margins and streamline your operation. Contact us today to start building your solution.

Engineered Recycling Systems (ERS) supports recyclers and logistics partners who handle bulk returns of small electronics from major retailers. These returns—classified as e-waste or e-scrap—include chargers, headphones, tablets, and accessories that are no longer sellable but still contain recoverable copper, aluminum, and trace metals.

ERS systems are designed to process pre-sorted or bulk-fed material streams, isolating valuable metal fractions through calibrated airflow, magnetic and eddy current separation, and advanced filtration. Dust control and trace metal recovery are built into every system, with optional CCM® OCT filters available for enhanced compliance and workplace safety.

Whether you're handling retail returns, liquidation lots, or mixed e-waste, ERS systems deliver consistent performance and maximize ROI. Each system is tailored to fit your layout, throughput goals, and material mix—helping reduce landfill volume and strengthen your competitive position in the electronics recycling market.

Engineered Recycling Systems (ERS) is helping scrap yards across North America unlock more value from their automotive shredder residue (ASR) by upgrading fines recovery systems or integrating new ones into existing ASR lines. As demand for copper, aluminum, and non-ferrous metals continues to rise, maximizing recovery from ASR fines is no longer optional—it’s essential.

ERS systems are engineered to extract high-purity metals from the fines stream, which often contains overlooked fractions of valuable material. Whether a facility is already running fines recovery or only processing coarse ASR, ERS can design and install a tailored solution that fits the current layout and boosts overall yield. This includes complete fines recovery integration for operations that have not yet tapped into the potential of their ASR fines.

The recovery process uses calibrated airflow, magnetic and eddy current separation, and advanced filtration to isolate copper, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals from car fluff and mixed shredder residue. Dust control and compliance are built into every system, with optional CCM® OCT filters available to capture airborne particles and recover trace metal fines.

ERS works directly with scrap yards to assess existing performance, identify recovery gaps, and configure systems that meet throughput goals while reducing waste. With proven results in demanding applications, ERS equipment helps facilities recover more metal, reduce landfill volume, and strengthen their competitive position in the recycling market.

If your operation is ready to upgrade its ASR fines recovery—or add fines recovery to an existing ASR line—ERS is ready to deliver a solution engineered for results.

In the world of tissue converting, airborne contamination isn’t just a nuisance—it’s a threat to product integrity, equipment longevity, and operational efficiency.

ERS is in the final stages of installing a custom-engineered scrap and dust collection system for one of our customers operating a Göpfert rotary die cutter. This project is still in progress, with commissioning and final integration underway. While the system is designed to interface seamlessly with the Göpfert RDC HBL, ERS is not affiliated with Göpfert or any OEM. Our work is built around the machine, the layout, and the customer’s goals—not the brand.

The system captures trim and airborne dust directly at the die cutter interface, preserving print quality and maintaining consistent airflow. Scrap is conveyed through a vacuum transfer system and discharged via modular options tailored to the facility’s infrastructure. At the heart of the system is our CCM® OCT Filter, which operates without compressed air, regeneration cycles, or external housings—delivering clean, reliable filtration with minimal maintenance.

This installation continues a broader initiative to modernize converting environments and eliminate the inefficiencies of legacy dust systems. ERS systems are engineered to run clean, run smart, and run reliably. Completion is near—and the results will speak for themselves.

If your facility is still relying on baghouses, rotary airlocks, or external filter housings, it’s time to rethink what clean converting should look like. Let’s build something better—start your upgrade with ERS.
