As global demand for rare earth elements and precious metals continues to rise, the need for efficient, scalable e-scrap recycling systems has never been more urgent. Engineered Recycling Systems is proud to support clients across North America with custom solutions designed to recover high-value materials from printed circuit boards (PCBs) and other electronic waste streams.

ERS systems are engineered to process complex PCB compositions that include gold, palladium, tantalum, silver, and rare earth magnets. These materials are often present in trace amounts and embedded within layered substrates, making recovery both technically challenging and economically critical. Our team works closely with each client to analyze their material stream and develop a system that meets their specific throughput, purity, and environmental goals.

Recent projects have included the installation of complete e-scrap recovery lines for clients in the telecommunications, aerospace, and consumer electronics sectors. These systems integrate shredding, granulation, magnetic and eddy current separation, and advanced air classification to isolate and recover valuable fractions. Each installation is supported by ERS’s containment and filtration technology, ensuring compliance with environmental standards and operator safety.

ERS’s modular approach allows for flexible system design, whether the goal is to process mixed e-waste from municipal collection or to target high-yield recovery from specialized industrial sources. Our clients benefit from a fully integrated solution that maximizes material recovery while minimizing labor and energy costs.

If your operation is exploring PCB recycling or looking to improve recovery rates from existing e-scrap streams, ERS can help. Our team is ready to design a system tailored to your material mix and facility layout. Contact us to learn how we can support your rare material recovery goals with precision-engineered solutions.

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.

In corrugated and paperboard production, speed and uptime are everything. Yet many facilities still rely on legacy dust and scrap systems that introduce complexity, downtime, and exposure. External filter housings—whether mounted beside the building or above it—require structural accommodations, weather protection, and frequent maintenance. Baghouse filters in particular demand periodic regeneration cycles, compressed air, and pressure monitoring to stay operational.

ERS systems eliminate that model entirely.

Our integrated dust and scrap recovery solutions are built to operate entirely within the facility footprint. No external housings. No regeneration cycles. No pressure spikes. And critically—no rotary airlocks. By removing the need for these oversized, maintenance-heavy components, ERS systems simplify discharge, reduce wear, and eliminate a common failure point in traditional designs.

The CCM® Filter uses a rotating and oscillating nozzle system that cleans the filter media automatically every few minutes—without compressed air, without manual intervention, and without interrupting production. Dust is separated and discharged into compact containers, ready for disposal or reuse. The system maintains consistent airflow and filtration without relying on explosion venting protocols or external dependencies.

ERS systems are designed for corrugated producers who want performance without compromise. If your current setup still depends on external filter housings, baghouse cycles, and rotary airlocks, it may be time to rethink what modern dust control should look like.

For decades, recyclers have depended on large-scale processors to handle Auto Shredder Residue (ASR), copper-rich scrap, and complex metal streams. While this model offers convenience, it often comes at the cost of control, speed, and profitability. Material is shipped out, margins are compressed, and recyclers are left waiting for someone else to determine the value of their output.

ERS offers a different path.

Our ASR processing systems are engineered for recyclers who want to own their process from start to finish. Whether you're handling Shredder Wire, ICW, tailings, or full ASR streams, ERS systems allow you to process material on-site—eliminating third-party contracts, shipping delays, and margin erosion.

With a modular, turnkey approach, ERS systems are tailored to fit your facility and your scrap profile. We focus heavily on copper recovery, knowing that even small improvements in yield can translate into significant gains in profitability. Our technology is backed by real-world validation, and our test facility is open for performance trials—so you can see the results before you invest.

In-house processing isn’t just about equipment—it’s about empowerment. You control the throughput. You keep the value. You claim the profit.

ERS systems are built for recyclers who are ready to stop outsourcing their margins and start owning their results.

The Recycled Materials Association (ReMA) has introduced Vesper, a new aluminum scrap specification focused on preserving the integrity of high-grade wrought aluminum recovered from vehicles, buildings, and industrial applications. As demand grows for clean, traceable, and circular aluminum recycling, Vesper sets a clear benchmark for purity and process control.

Vesper defines strict thresholds for magnesium, zinc, iron, and nonmetallics, and requires dry, non-oxidized material free of sealed or pressurized components. These standards aim to prevent high-quality aluminum from being downcycled into lower-grade cast alloys, supporting closed-loop reuse in manufacturing.

Engineered Recycling Systems designs and builds the recovery platforms that make this level of precision possible. Our modular systems—trusted across copper and aluminum wire processing—can be configured to support Vesper-grade separation and throughput. From granulation and air separation to magnetic and eddy current sorting, ERS technology empowers recyclers to meet evolving specifications with confidence.

If your operation is preparing for Vesper-grade aluminum recovery, ERS is ready to engineer the solution. Let’s build it together.

Engineered Recycling Systems has redefined industrial air filtration with its patented CCM® OCT Filter System—a compact, non-combustible solution that eliminates the need for explosion venting, external housings, or relief panels.

Unlike traditional systems, CCM® OCT filters are built for internal safety with antistatic components, grounded suction nozzles, and direct sprinkler compatibility. This allows safe installation inside production areas—without added infrastructure or manual cleaning.

💡 “Combustible dust shouldn’t dictate your facility design,” says ERS. “Our filters operate safely, efficiently, and visibly—without explosion risks or layout compromises.”

Compliance Note While CCM® OCT Filters are engineered to eliminate the need for explosion venting, all installations must comply with applicable local fire and safety codes. Site-specific adaptations to sprinkler systems, grounding protocols, and facility layout may be required based on jurisdictional standards and risk assessments.
