Paper mills trim removal systems from Engineered Recycling Systems (ERS) are engineered for kraft linerboard, coated papers, and specialty grades, combining high‑volume trim conveyance, heavy‑duty separators, and CCM® dust filtration to support clean, compliant, and efficient mill operations. ERS provides robust, industrial‑grade trim and dust removal systems designed specifically for the demanding environment of paper mills, where thick edge trim, abrasive materials, and high dust loads require durable, reliable, and energy‑efficient solutions.

ERS systems are engineered to support the full production process—from the wet end to the rewinder—delivering integrated solutions that enhance productivity, reduce maintenance demands, and protect both equipment and personnel from debris buildup and hazardous dust. Whether producing kraft linerboard, coated grades, recycled content, or specialty substrates, ERS systems maintain stable conveying, clean air, and safe operating conditions across large‑scale mill environments.

ERS trim removal systems are built for heavy‑duty performance. High‑volume trim conveyance technology transports wide and thick edge trim at high speed, supporting primary sheeters, winders, slitters, and cutters in large‑scale paper production. Reinforced ducting, industrial‑grade components, and optimized airflow ensure reliable conveying even under the most demanding production conditions.

ERS heavy‑duty separators and transfer systems efficiently separate trim from the airstream and direct material to balers, compactors, or shredders. This reduces manual labor, improves material flow, and supports continuous operation across mill‑wide production lines. These systems are engineered for long‑term durability in high‑humidity, abrasive, and fiber‑dense environments.

ERS dust collection systems incorporate CCM® Continuous Cleaning Filter Technology, which captures fine fiber dust, pulp residue, and paper fines without the need for compressed air. The CCM® system maintains low pressure loss, stable airflow, and long filter life, supporting clean air quality and compliance with OSHA, NFPA, and mill‑specific safety standards. This technology is ideal for the heavy dust loads generated during sheeting, slitting, and finishing operations.

ERS fan systems use smart industrial airflow control to match air volume with trim load and system pressure. This reduces power consumption, minimizes system wear, and maintains stable operation across multiple production lines. The result is a reliable, energy‑efficient system designed for continuous mill‑level performance.

Paper mills choose ERS because our systems are engineered for wide webs, thick trim, and high‑volume production, delivering reliable performance without clogging, downtime, or excessive maintenance. ERS systems reduce manual waste handling, improve operator safety, and maintain clean, compliant production environments. Industrial‑grade components and rugged construction ensure long‑term reliability in harsh, high‑humidity mill conditions.

Every paper mill operates differently, and ERS provides custom‑engineered solutions based on trim characteristics, mill layout, production volume, and material specifications. From system design to installation and ongoing support, ERS helps mills improve uptime, reduce labor costs, and maintain safe, clean operations across the entire facility.
