ERS – Trim and Dust Removal for the Paperboard Industry
Paperboard industry trim removal systems from Engineered Recycling Systems (ERS) are engineered for thick, multilayered stock, combining heavy‑gauge trim conveyance, high‑capacity separators, and CCM® dust filtration to support clean, compliant, and cost‑effective production. ERS designs and integrates advanced trim and dust removal solutions specifically for the paperboard manufacturing sector, delivering reliable performance for solid bleached sulfate (SBS), coated recycled board (CRB), chipboard, and other high‑strength paperboard substrates.
ERS systems are built to handle the heavy‑duty demands of thick stock, multilayered materials, and high‑output converting lines. With deep industry experience and modular, high‑efficiency components, ERS provides engineered solutions that keep paperboard operations clean, compliant, and efficient.
ERS trim removal systems are designed for continuous, high‑volume production environments. Heavy‑gauge trim conveyance technology moves thick and stiff paperboard trim through reinforced ducting and robust conveying components, preventing blockages and reducing wear. High‑capacity separators and chutes efficiently separate trim from the airstream and deliver material to balers, compactors, or shredders for further processing or recycling. These systems maintain stable airflow and reliable scrap handling even under demanding production conditions.
ERS dust management solutions incorporate CCM® Filter Technology, providing continuous particulate removal without the need for compressed air or frequent manual cleaning. This filtration approach is ideal for the fine dust generated during sheeting, cutting, and finishing operations. The CCM® system maintains low pressure loss, stable airflow, and long filter life, supporting clean air and safe working environments across paperboard converting lines.
ERS fan systems are engineered for both power and efficiency. Optimized fan arrangements deliver the suction required to move heavy trims while conserving energy and maintaining balanced airflow across multiple production lines. This ensures consistent conveying performance and reduced operational costs.
Paperboard manufacturers choose ERS because our systems are engineered for thick and layered materials, delivering reliable performance without clogging or downtime. ERS systems meet OSHA and NFPA standards without requiring explosion venting or complex ducting arrangements. Durable construction and low‑maintenance designs withstand abrasive trim and fibrous material buildup, supporting long‑term reliability. Flexible configurations allow ERS systems to scale from narrow‑web operations to wide‑sheet production environments.
Every paperboard facility operates differently, and ERS provides tailored solutions based on trim characteristics, plant layout, and production volume. From system design to installation and ongoing support, ERS helps streamline workflow, reduce waste, and maintain consistent production quality.
ERS continues to advance trim and dust removal technologies for the paperboard industry, supporting clean, efficient, and reliable operation as production speeds increase and material structures evolve. With a focus on engineering excellence and long‑term system performance, ERS remains a trusted partner for paperboard manufacturers across North America.
