Innovation in Action – ERS News & Projects

ERS Industrial Project News highlights real‑world installations, system upgrades, engineering achievements, and field‑proven results across the industries we serve. This page brings together updates from metals recycling, paper converting, dust collection, and industrial scrap handling, offering a clear view into how Engineered Recycling Systems (ERS) delivers engineered performance in demanding production environments.

Recent updates in the metals sector showcase turnkey systems for copper wire chopping, aluminum separation, e‑scrap processing, and rare earth recovery from printed circuit boards. These projects feature engineered granulation lines, magnetic and eddy current separation, air classification, and high‑efficiency dust control designed to isolate high‑value fractions from complex scrap streams. Each installation is tailored to the customer’s material flow, facility layout, and throughput requirements, with a focus on rapid ROI, clean operation, and long‑term reliability.

ERS news also covers major advancements in paper converting and corrugated production. Recent installations include dust and trim removal systems for rotary die cutters, Flexo Folder Gluers, and high‑speed converting lines. Many of these systems feature the CCM® OCT Filter, a fully enclosed filtration platform that operates without compressed air and delivers consistent performance with minimal maintenance. Machine builders and OEM partners continue to integrate ERS dust control into their converting lines, reflecting the industry’s shift toward engineered, enclosed, and energy‑efficient filtration.

Across industrial scrap handling, ERS continues to modernize and upgrade non‑ERS systems. These projects include retrofits for pneumatic transport lines, improvements to magnetic separation platforms, and airflow stabilization upgrades for aging dust collection equipment. Field service teams provide on‑site diagnostics, operator training, and performance tuning to restore efficiency, reduce maintenance, and meet evolving compliance requirements.

The purpose of ERS Industrial Project News is to give customers a clear view of the work happening behind the scenes: the engineering decisions, the system integrations, the field adjustments, and the real‑world results that define ERS installations. Each update reflects the same core principles—engineered precision, clean operation, and long‑term system performance.

This page is updated regularly with new case studies, installation highlights, and customer success stories. Whether your operation is focused on metals recycling, paper converting, or dust‑intensive production, ERS Industrial Project News provides an inside look at how our systems solve complex challenges and support cleaner, safer, and more efficient facilities.

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.

"Dual-feed two-ram baler system installed at ERS facility, featuring integrated conveyor input from paper shear and manual loading chute for corrugated scrap processing.
ERS Nears Completion of Dual-Feed Two-Ram Baler System for OCC and Bad Rolls
by ERS
0

Engineered Recycling Systems (ERS) is finalizing installation of a dual-feed two-ram baler system designed to optimize OCC handling with high throughput and operational flexibility.

System Configuration This custom setup includes two input paths:

Roll Shear: Rolls are cut and discharged directly onto the conveyor.
Pit Conveyor Feed: Operators can load bulk OCC through a secondary conveyor.

Both feeds converge onto the single nose over conveyor that delivers material into the two-ram baler. The baler compresses the scrap into dense, uniform bales for transport or recycling. Final tuning is underway to ensure seamless integration with the facility’s workflow.

Installation Highlights

Dual-feed configuration
Two-ram baler for high-density output
Integrated conveyor logic for synchronized material flow
Ease of operation

The images show the system in place, including the inclined conveyor, roll shear, and surrounding infrastructure—demonstrating ERS’s commitment to solving customers problems.

Engineered Recycling Systems (ERS) is proud to deliver high-performance dust and scrap collection systems tailored for two of the most demanding sectors in converting: corrugated packaging plants and label production facilities. Whether you're cutting full-size shipping cartons or high-speed adhesive labels, ERS systems ensure clean cuts, clear sheets, and compliant air quality—without compromising throughput.

📦 Corrugated Packaging: Clean Sheets, Crisp Cuts

Rotary die cutters in corrugated plants operate at blistering speeds, generating airborne dust and scrap that can interfere with print quality and downstream folding. ERS systems are engineered to:

  • Capture dust and trim directly at the die station

  • Maintain clean sheet surfaces for high-fidelity printing

  • Prevent buildup in folder-gluers and bundlers

  • Integrate with OEM lines for seamless operation

The result? Fewer stoppages, better box quality, and a safer, cleaner plant environment.

🏷️ Label Production: Precision at Micro Scale

In label converting, even microscopic dust can compromise adhesive performance or print clarity. ERS dust collection systems support:

  • High-speed rotary die cutting of pressure-sensitive labels

  • Continuous-clean CCM® filters for uninterrupted uptime

  • Modular airflow control for tight plant layouts

  • OSHA/NFPA compliance for cleanroom-grade safety

From food packaging to medical labeling, ERS ensures your labels stay sharp, clean, and ready for application.

💡 CCM® Filter Technology: The ERS Advantage

At the core of every ERS system is the CCM® Filter, featuring:

  • Rotating suction nozzles that clean filter media every 2–3 minutes

  • Low pressure loss across variable airflow conditions

  • Tool-free maintenance with zero downtime

This technology keeps your converting lines running smoothly—whether you're cutting corrugated blanks or kiss-cutting labels at 1,000 fpm.
