Folding carton industry trim removal systems from Engineered Recycling Systems (ERS) are engineered for lightweight, high‑speed trim handling with minimal energy usage. These systems deliver clean air, reduced scrap buildup, and optimal system reliability for paperboard packaging production. ERS designs industry‑leading trim and dust removal solutions tailored to the precise needs of folding carton and paperboard converting, ensuring stable performance across today’s fast‑paced production environments.

ERS systems are engineered to manage the unique challenges of folding carton workflows, where thin, lightweight trims must be conveyed cleanly without clogging, surging, or airflow instability. From die‑cutting to finishing, ERS solutions maintain clean air, prevent scrap accumulation, and support uninterrupted production at high line speeds.

ERS high‑speed vacuum conveying systems are designed specifically for lightweight paperboard trims. These systems maintain consistent, non‑clogging airflow and deliver precise scrap transport to centralized collection points. The ERS Low Profile Separator (LPS) provides efficient trim separation in confined spaces, directing scrap cleanly to balers or bins without disrupting plant operations. This compact design allows seamless integration into both new and existing folding carton lines.

ERS systems incorporate energy‑smart fans and automated controls that adjust horsepower based on real‑time demand. This reduces energy consumption, lowers operating costs, and maintains stable conveying performance during both high‑volume and low‑volume production periods. Fine dust generated during die‑cutting and finishing is captured using CCM® Filter Technology, which provides continuous filtration with minimal pressure loss and no need for compressed air. This ensures clean air, safe working conditions, and reduced maintenance requirements.

Folding carton manufacturers choose ERS because our systems are engineered around each facility’s specific press speeds, trim formats, material types, and available floor space. ERS solutions operate quietly, maintain clean air, and meet NFPA, OSHA, and local air quality standards. With compact footprints, tool‑free filter access, and simplified maintenance procedures, ERS systems support long‑term reliability and reduced downtime in space‑constrained converting environments.

ERS is a trusted partner for folding carton producers seeking to improve trim removal efficiency, enhance air quality, and support sustainable production practices. Whether upgrading an existing line or designing a new facility, ERS provides engineered systems that improve workflow, reduce waste, and support consistent, high‑quality output.
