Corrugated packaging producers running high-speed converting lines face a common challenge: fine paper dust, edge trim, and loose scrap that pile up fast and threaten both compliance and floor space. ERS is currently completing a full dust and scrap collection system for a corrugated packaging facility — a solution built for exactly this challenge, and one that's readily adaptable for other converting operations facing the same constraints.

At the core of the system is ERS's Low Profile Separator (LPS), engineered for facilities where overhead clearance is limited. Unlike traditional separators, the LPS requires no roof penetration and no air lock, making it ideal for retrofits in tight pressroom or converting environments. Paired with the CCM® OCT Filter, the system continuously captures fine paper dust without manual cleanout, keeping operations compliant with air quality standards around the clock. A dedicated baler compacts recovered trim and scrap for efficient reclaim, while a corrugated sheet shredder clears loose sheet stock that would otherwise accumulate around the plant.

For corrugated, folding carton, and paper converting producers evaluating their own dust and scrap handling needs, this project is a clear example of how a space-constrained facility can achieve clean, compliant, high-throughput operation without a major footprint or facility redesign.
