Across the converting industry, production speeds continue to climb. Paper, tissue, and label manufacturers are pushing equipment to new throughput levels to meet demand for packaging, hygiene, and printed materials. But higher line speeds bring a hidden challenge: dramatically increased trim load and airborne dust volume.

When trim waste and matrix material move faster through slitters, die‑cutters, and rewinders, extraction systems must handle greater airflow, higher tension, and more frequent waste discharge. Older trim removal systems often struggle to maintain suction stability, leading to buildup, downtime, and contamination across the line. At the same time, fine paper dust and adhesive particles accumulate in the air, creating health and safety concerns that can violate OSHA and EU exposure limits.

Engineered Recycling Systems supports high‑speed converting operations with large‑scale trim and dust removal systems built around the CCM® OCT Filter, a continuous‑cleaning industrial filtration platform engineered for heavy dust loads. The CCM® OCT Filter maintains consistent airflow, prevents trim flight, and captures fine particulates without the pressure spikes or clogging common in older baghouse systems. Its continuous cleaning design keeps performance stable even under the increased demands of high‑speed converting.

For converters upgrading to faster presses or expanding production lines, investing in modern extraction technology is no longer optional — it’s essential. Advanced trim and dust removal systems featuring the CCM® OCT Filter help plants sustain clean operation, reduce maintenance, and protect workers while keeping pace with today’s high‑speed converting demands.

The paper and corrugated converting industry is entering 2026 with rising production speeds, tighter quality requirements, and increasing pressure to maintain cleaner, more efficient operations.
