In the evolving landscape of industrial dust collection, Engineered Recycling Systems (ERS), based in Atlanta, Georgia, has introduced a groundbreaking solution: the Continuous Cleaning Modular (CCM®) OCT Filter. This innovative system addresses the limitations of conventional baghouse filters, offering enhanced safety, efficiency, and ease of maintenance.

Revolutionizing Dust Collection

Traditional baghouse filters often present challenges such as explosion risks, extensive maintenance requirements, and significant downtime. The CCM® OCT Filter mitigates these issues through its unique design, which eliminates the need for explosion vents and high-speed abort gates. By operating under positive pressure and utilizing fabric walls, the system prevents pressure buildup, thereby reducing explosion hazards and allowing for safe indoor installation.

Efficiency and Sustainability

The CCM® OCT Filter’s modular design enables quick installation and scalability to meet varying air volume demands. Its continuous cleaning mechanism ensures minimal pressure fluctuations and maintains high dust collection efficiency without the use of compressed air or water, contributing to energy savings and environmental sustainability.

Reduced Downtime and Maintenance

Maintenance of traditional filters can be time-consuming and costly. In contrast, the CCM® OCT Filter allows for rapid filter media replacement without special tools, significantly reducing downtime—by up to 80%. Its design facilitates easy inspection and maintenance, enhancing operational efficiency.

Industry Adoption and Support

ERS’s commitment to innovation and customer support has led to widespread adoption of the CCM® OCT Filter across various industries, including paper manufacturing, tissue production, and metals recycling. With over 80 units operating worldwide, the system has proven its reliability and effectiveness in diverse applications.

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.
