Fine paper fibers and dust are an inevitable byproduct of tissue converting, but they don’t have to dictate production speed or safety. A well-designed tissue dust collection system changes the daily reality on the shop floor: fewer line stops, less manual cleaning, and a lower risk of equipment or product contamination. The ERS CCM® OCT Filter was engineered to tackle the unique particle profile of tissue operations, pairing targeted source capture with filter media that minimizes maintenance intervals while keeping suction steady across multiple pick-up points.

When Engineered Recycling Systems installed a high-performance collector with the CCM® OCT Filter, the visible results were immediate—cleaner conveyors, faster changeovers, and a maintenance schedule that could be planned instead of reactive. For operations managers, that translates to measurable gains in uptime and a safer work environment without major rework to existing layouts.

Whether you’re planning a new line or retrofitting an older facility, a practical approach focused on capture design, accessible servicing, and ongoing monitoring will get the best return. Real improvements come from combining the right hardware with smart processes and operator training. 👉 Contact ERS today to discuss a tailored dust collection plan that reduces downtime, improves air quality, and keeps your converting line running at peak efficiency.

Dust is one of the hidden drains on productivity in tissue manufacturing: it clogs sensors, soils product, and forces extra cleaning and downtime. A purpose-built solution focused on capture-at-source changes that equation. Engineered Recycling Systems (ERS) recently deployed a high-performance dust collection system using the ERS CCM® OCT Filter to tackle the toughest dust challenges on a converting line, and the results are practical and measurable.

The system removes fine paper dust directly from key process points, stabilizes airflow to prevent surges, and reduces the need for manual cleanup. For plant managers, that means fewer unplanned stops, longer equipment life, and improved operator safety. ERS integrates the system into existing layouts with minimal disruption and provides a clear maintenance plan so gains are sustained.

If you’re evaluating upgrades, focus on solutions that deliver fast payback through lower labor costs and higher run-time. The ERS CCM® OCT Filter delivers both—modular, reliable, and engineered for tissue manufacturing dust control.

Across North America, recyclers are expanding their capabilities for ACSR (Aluminum Conductor Steel Reinforced) wire processing as utilities continue large‑scale grid modernization and decommissioning projects. The global ACSR market is projected to grow steadily through 2026, driven by infrastructure upgrades and increased conductor replacement activity. As older transmission lines are removed, recyclers are receiving higher volumes of ACSR cable containing valuable aluminum and recoverable steel.

At the same time, the recycling sector is responding to stronger commodity pricing. In early 2026, ACSR wire scrap values in the U.S. averaged 0.42 USD/lb, with highs reaching 0.59 USD/lb, reinforcing the importance of efficient metal recovery systems. This combination of rising material flow and favorable pricing is pushing recyclers to invest in systems that deliver consistent throughput, clean separation, and long‑term operational stability.

Engineered Recycling Systems supports this industry shift with fully engineered ACSR wire recycling systems designed for continuous‑duty performance. ERS systems integrate primary and secondary shredding, high‑efficiency granulation, and advanced air separation to create a controlled, balanced material flow. Precision magnetic separation ensures reliable steel removal, while automated controls maintain steady production even under demanding load conditions.

Every ERS installation is engineered around the customer’s material stream, volume targets, and facility layout. This ensures that each ACSR recycling system delivers the exact purity levels, output consistency, and operational durability required for high‑volume production. As utilities accelerate conductor replacement and recyclers scale their ACSR operations, ERS continues to provide the technical expertise and long‑term support needed to keep these lines running efficiently.

Companies planning to expand their ACSR processing capabilities can rely on ERS to design a solution that meets demanding throughput expectations while maintaining the highest standards of metal recovery.

Engineered Recycling Systems continues to advance shredder wire recycling with engineered solutions that support higher metal purity, cleaner processing environments, and more efficient system layouts. As recyclers face rising demand for high‑value copper and aluminum fractions, ERS systems provide the technology needed to stay competitive.

Across the industry, recyclers are shifting toward high‑purity metal separation, driven by tighter resale specifications and the growing value of clean copper and aluminum. ERS systems address this trend with precision separation technology that isolates copper, aluminum, and ferrous materials with consistent accuracy. The combination of optimized shredding, controlled granulation, and engineered separation tables supports higher recovery rates and improved downstream quality.

Another major trend is the move toward dry separation technology, which reduces water usage, lowers maintenance, and improves fines handling. ERS integrates dry separation tables, magnets, and pneumatic transport systems to create a streamlined, water‑free workflow that delivers refined, high‑value fractions.

Recyclers are also prioritizing integrated dust collection to maintain cleaner facilities, protect workers, and improve system uptime. ERS designs complete dust control solutions that pair with shredders, mills, and separation equipment to create a stable, clean processing environment. This aligns with the industry‑wide push for safer, more sustainable operations.

Finally, recyclers are demanding customizable system designs that adapt to mixed material streams and evolving market conditions. ERS delivers modular, engineered layouts that combine shredders, mills, conveyors, magnets, and dust collection into turnkey systems tailored to each facility’s needs.

With engineered separation, dry processing, and integrated dust control, ERS helps recyclers achieve cleaner fractions, higher yields, and more profitable shredder wire and cable recovery.
