Paper converting industry trim removal systems from Engineered Recycling Systems (ERS) are engineered for lightweight, high‑speed trim handling, combining vacuum conveyance, compact separators, and CCM® dust filtration to support clean, compliant, and energy‑efficient converting. ERS specializes in precision‑engineered trim removal and dust collection systems designed to meet the fast‑paced, high‑output demands of the paper converting industry. Whether processing tissue, coated papers, release liners, label stock, or specialty papers, ERS systems efficiently manage lightweight trim while maintaining superior air quality.

With decades of experience and a deep understanding of web converting operations, ERS helps facilities increase uptime, reduce waste, and maintain clean, compliant production environments.

ERS systems are engineered for a wide range of converting applications, including slitters, rewinders, sheeters, and label presses. High‑velocity trim conveyance ensures smooth, uninterrupted airflow for light, narrow trims traveling at high speeds, preventing clogging, tailing, or unstable conveying. This performance is essential for label stock, release liner, and narrow‑web converting lines where trim is thin, fast‑moving, and sensitive to airflow fluctuations.

ERS Low Profile Separators (LPS) provide compact, efficient trim separation, directing material into collection bins or balers while maintaining a minimal footprint. This makes the LPS ideal for facilities with limited floor space or complex equipment layouts. The system integrates seamlessly into existing production lines without disrupting workflow.

ERS dust collection systems incorporate CCM® OCT Filter Technology, which continuously cleans filter media without the need for compressed air or frequent manual maintenance. This technology maintains low pressure loss, stable airflow, and long filter life, supporting clean air and regulatory compliance across high‑speed converting environments. Fine paper dust generated during slitting, sheeting, and rewinding is captured efficiently, improving workplace safety and reducing housekeeping requirements.

ERS systems also feature energy‑efficient fan control, using variable fan speeds and pressure‑balancing controls to reduce energy consumption while maintaining consistent performance across multiple converting lines. This ensures stable conveying, reduced operating costs, and long‑term system reliability.

Paper converters choose ERS because our systems are engineered for lightweight and coated materials, offering compact footprints, OSHA‑ and NFPA‑compliant air systems, and low‑maintenance designs with tool‑free filter access. Each system is custom‑engineered around the specific needs of the converting process, ensuring optimal performance for both narrow‑web and wide‑sheet operations.

ERS delivers scalable, purpose‑built systems for clean, efficient, and compliant paper converting. From narrow‑web trim to wide sheeting applications, our engineering team works closely with each facility to understand material characteristics, production speeds, and layout constraints, ensuring the system is optimized for long‑term performance.
