Engineered Recycling Systems designs and builds high-performance wire recycling systems for processors handling everything from insulated copper and aluminum wire to complex electronic scrap and multi-conductor cable. Whether it’s communication lines, power transmission materials, auto harnesses, or low-grade mixed wire, ERS systems deliver consistent throughput, clean separation, and high-yield recovery.

Each wire chopping line combines size reduction, granulation, air separation, and magnetic sorting to extract valuable non-ferrous metals from insulation and contaminants. Recyclers report high-purity output across diverse input streams, including industrial cable, consumer electronics, and demolition scrap.

ERS systems also support electronics recycling, allowing operators to process mixed device cables, low-yield wire, and plastic-insulated harnesses with greater precision and minimal loss. These configurations are designed to handle varied materials efficiently while maintaining high recovery rates.

“Our wire recycling systems are built for recyclers who need flexibility, speed, and purity,” said an ERS spokesperson. “From high-grade copper to the most tangled mix of cable and electronics, we help turn scrap into clean, marketable material.”

With modular design, field-proven components, and decades of engineering experience, ERS wire and cable recycling systems meet the evolving demands of metals recovery operations.

Engineered Recycling Systems (ERS) is proud to deliver high-performance dust and scrap collection systems tailored for two of the most demanding sectors in converting: corrugated packaging plants and label production facilities. Whether you're cutting full-size shipping cartons or high-speed adhesive labels, ERS systems ensure clean cuts, clear sheets, and compliant air quality—without compromising throughput.

📦 Corrugated Packaging: Clean Sheets, Crisp Cuts

Rotary die cutters in corrugated plants operate at blistering speeds, generating airborne dust and scrap that can interfere with print quality and downstream folding. ERS systems are engineered to:

  • Capture dust and trim directly at the die station

  • Maintain clean sheet surfaces for high-fidelity printing

  • Prevent buildup in folder-gluers and bundlers

  • Integrate with OEM lines for seamless operation

The result? Fewer stoppages, better box quality, and a safer, cleaner plant environment.

🏷️ Label Production: Precision at Micro Scale

In label converting, even microscopic dust can compromise adhesive performance or print clarity. ERS dust collection systems support:

  • High-speed rotary die cutting of pressure-sensitive labels

  • Continuous-clean CCM® filters for uninterrupted uptime

  • Modular airflow control for tight plant layouts

  • OSHA/NFPA compliance for cleanroom-grade safety

From food packaging to medical labeling, ERS ensures your labels stay sharp, clean, and ready for application.

💡 CCM® Filter Technology: The ERS Advantage

At the core of every ERS system is the CCM® Filter, featuring:

  • Rotating suction nozzles that clean filter media every 2–3 minutes

  • Low pressure loss across variable airflow conditions

  • Tool-free maintenance with zero downtime

This technology keeps your converting lines running smoothly—whether you're cutting corrugated blanks or kiss-cutting labels at 1,000 fpm.

🗨️ ERS Statement

“Dust isn’t just a nuisance—it’s a threat to quality, compliance, and uptime. Our systems are built to protect every cut, every label, and every box.”
