Paper converting systems from the pickup at the machine to the bale on the dock

Paper converting systems from Engineered Recycling Systems take the trim, the scrap and the dust away from the machine and turn them into a baled product that leaves the building. ERS designs, builds, installs and services the complete system. One company, one system, one point of responsibility.

We build for every machine in the plant. Corrugators, flexo folder-gluers, rotary and flatbed die cutters, sheeters, slitters, rewinders and web presses. ERS captures trim, die cut scrap and fiber dust at the source, moves it without blockages, separates it, bales it, and cleans the air before it goes back into the building.

Most plants do not have a filter problem or a baler problem. They have a system problem: pickups that do not match the line they serve, a separator that has been added onto for fifteen years, and several suppliers who each stand behind their own box. Using different vendors leaves the plant owning the integration risk. ERS engineers the pickups, the duct, the fan, the separator, the baler and the filtration as one system, sized for one production rate and one static pressure, and stands behind the whole of it working.

How an ERS system works

Five stages, engineered against the same production rate and the same static pressure.

Capture

Machine pickups and floor sweeps collect trim and scrap at the source, sized to the width and the speed of the line rather than to a catalog number. Size reduction at the front of the system handles anything too bulky to convey cleanly, from a paper core shredder to an automated dump and run shredder. See paper converting industry trim removal.

Separate

A low profile separator splits the scrap from the dust-laden air. It is built for tight buildings: no roof penetrations, no airlocks, and it mounts directly over the baler. Where the building has the height to use, a cyclone separator does the same job.

Bale

Scrap drops straight from the separator into the baler and is compacted for recycling, with the baler sized to the volume the plant actually produces and the feed arranged so the operator is not working around it.

Filter

A CCM^® OCT filter cleans the air and cleans its own media while the system keeps running, with no compressed air and no regeneration cycle. Where the dust is combustible, see combustible dust filtration.

Briquette

Collected dust is pressed into dense pucks on a briquette press and goes into the bale with the scrap. Dust leaves the building as a product instead of a disposal cost.

Indoors, safer and easier to service

The complete system installs indoors. No equipment on the roof, no external housings, no confined space entry, and service that does not wait on the weather.

Antistatic construction, internal grounding and non-combustible filter media come as part of the build, and the filter is laid out so a media change is a tool-free job on a walkway rather than a shutdown.

Industries we serve

The waste is different in each of them, but the requirement is the same: get it away from the machine immediately, move it reliably, and turn it into a product that leaves the building at the best price available.

Corrugated

Corrugators and box plants, where the trim is long, continuous and produced at speed. Capture at the machine, conveyed away before it can wrap a roll.
