By now you’ve probably heard about the CCM^®OCT dust collector and its game-changing technology, but did you know that it’s also backed by a 55,000 square foot warehouse full of spare parts and new equipment?

ERS Sales Director Jeff Wair discusses the company's approach to processing shredder wire.

The filter is designed in such a way that the filter media doubles as the unit’s external walls. Since these walls are made of fabric, as opposed to the conventional “steel box” filters, the unit can never build up enough pressure to generate an explosion. This completely eliminates the need for explosion vents, high-speed abort gates, and unnecessary liabilities.

No more worrying about what’s going on inside of your baghouse or cartridge filters.

The CCM® OCT dust collector features windows for monitoring the internal operation, while it’s working! It’s like a seethrough vacuum cleaner!

Baghouse and cartridge-style filters have long been the go-to solution for removing dust from manufacturing operations, but there are some significant downsides to this type of dust collector. They require explosion venting, abort gates, sometimes building make-up air, and additional fire protection, in addition to the long and costly downtimes to maintain and unplug them. ERS designed the CCM® OCT filter so that it can be kept safely indoors in a dry environment anywhere in the plant. 

The CCM® OCT Filter is one of the most innovative filter systems on the market and already represents the latest industry standard for dust collection in paper or board production.

Atlanta-headquartered Engineered Recycling Systems (ERS) has introduced its CCM OCT dust filter system into the global tissue, towel, and non-woven converting markets.

A leader in dust collection, metal separation, and trim removal systems, the company had previously focused on the corrugated box manufacturing arena to develop, change, and finalize the design.

Mike Carver, ERS Managing Partner, told TWM that the CCM OCT is “now complete and ready to roll out into the tissue market”.

He said: “Several years ago, ERS engineers saw the need for a better, safer, and easier to maintain alternative to wet scrubbers and baghouse, cartridge, and enclosed drum filters that are used in the markets for dust extraction and collection.   

“Our engineers came up with a modernized, simple, safe designed OSHA and NFPA compliant CCM filter. In fact, you can watch and troubleshoot the CCM filter while it is running.”

Carver added that the system doesn’t require explosion venting, an abort gate, or expensive fire protection.

“It is the safest, easiest to maintain, most sustainable dust filter on the market today, marching in a new era for the standard in dust extraction and collection,” he said.
