No Explosion Venting Required: ERS CCM® OCT Filters Redefine Facility Safety Standards
by ERS
0

Engineered Recycling Systems has redefined industrial air filtration with its patented CCM® OCT Filter System—a compact, non-combustible solution that eliminates the need for explosion venting, external housings, or relief panels.

Unlike traditional systems, CCM® OCT filters are built for internal safety with antistatic components, grounded suction nozzles, and direct sprinkler compatibility. This allows safe installation inside production areas—without added infrastructure or manual cleaning.

💡 “Combustible dust shouldn’t dictate your facility design,” says ERS. “Our filters operate safely, efficiently, and visibly—without explosion risks or layout compromises.”

Compliance Note While CCM® OCT Filters are engineered to eliminate the need for explosion venting, all installations must comply with applicable local fire and safety codes. Site-specific adaptations to sprinkler systems, grounding protocols, and facility layout may be required based on jurisdictional standards and risk assessments.

"Dual-feed two-ram baler system installed at ERS facility, featuring integrated conveyor input from paper shear and manual loading chute for corrugated scrap processing.
ERS Nears Completion of Dual-Feed Two-Ram Baler System for OCC and Bad Rolls
by ERS
0

Engineered Recycling Systems (ERS) is finalizing installation of a dual-feed two-ram baler system designed to optimize OCC handling with high throughput and operational flexibility.

System Configuration This custom setup includes two input paths:

Roll Shear: Rolls are cut and discharged directly onto the conveyor.
Pit Conveyor Feed: Operators can load bulk OCC through a secondary conveyor.

Both feeds converge onto the single nose over conveyor that delivers material into the two-ram baler. The baler compresses the scrap into dense, uniform bales for transport or recycling. Final tuning is underway to ensure seamless integration with the facility’s workflow.

Installation Highlights

Dual-feed configuration
Two-ram baler for high-density output
Integrated conveyor logic for synchronized material flow
Ease of operation

The images show the system in place, including the inclined conveyor, roll shear, and surrounding infrastructure—demonstrating ERS’s commitment to solving customers problems.
