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.

Engineered Recycling Systems (ERS) is helping recyclers unlock new value from one of the industry’s most overlooked materials: Automotive Shredder Residue (ASR), often called car fluff. With its latest ASR fines recovery systems, ERS transforms this complex waste stream into clean, marketable non-ferrous metals.

🧩 Smart Recovery from Mixed Waste ASR fines are a messy blend of plastics, fibers, and metal fragments. ERS’s modular systems use advanced separation technologies to efficiently recover and refine non-ferrous metals like Zorba and Zurik, turning mixed shredder residue into clean, high-value commodities.

📈 Efficiency That Pays Off ERS systems are designed to adapt to changing material flows and maximize recovery rates. With streamlined layouts and intelligent controls, facilities can reduce landfill costs, boost metal yields, and improve overall profitability.

🌱 Cleaner, Smarter, More Sustainable By reclaiming metals that would otherwise be lost, ERS helps recyclers reduce environmental impact while increasing revenue. Whether upgrading an existing line or building a new one, ERS provides full design, manufacturing, and support.

💬 ERS Statement:

Ready to turn car fluff into profit? Contact ERS today to design your custom ASR fines recovery system and start reclaiming hidden value.

Our family of customizable mills sets the tone for the entire recycling system, engineered to optimize profitability, purity, and performance from the very first touchpoint.

Whether processing e-waste, shredded metals, or other complex feedstock, the way material is broken down directly determines recovery rates and lost potential. That’s why our liberation technology is designed to work in harmony with your system goals.

🔧 Mill Lineup at a Glance:

• 🟫 Hammer Mills: Available in multiple variants, ideal for post-pre-shredded material. Optimized to feed turbo mills downstream with precision particle sizing.

• 🟧 Hybrid Mills: Combines the strengths of hammer and turbo mill designs. Engineered for aggressive liberation across challenging materials.

• 🟩 Turbo Mills: Offered in three sizes, perfect for balling and thorough liberation. Enables high recovery rates and clean separation of valuable metals.

Together, these machines don’t just shred—they elevate system productivity and empower facilities to capture value that might otherwise be lost.

💡 Your system’s yield, purity, and uptime begin with liberation. Don’t let your upstream limit your downstream potential.

We’re back on site this week as our team installs another CCM® Trim and Dust Removal System — engineered for efficiency, built for uptime.

This latest install is part of our growing footprint in high-performance corrugated and paper converting operations. With ERS’s state-of-the-art filtration and modular design, the facility will benefit from:

• ✅ Tool-free filter changeouts

• ✅ Ground-level service access

• ✅ No compressed air dependency

• ✅ Increased throughput and air quality

Our turnkey approach means crews stay productive, safe, and compliant — while the system handles the dust and trim with unmatched reliability.

Stay tuned for final install highlights once the system goes live. Another operation soon to be cleaner, safer, and faster — powered by ERS.

We’ve witnessed it too many times: crews scaling 12+ feet just to clean dust filters—over concrete, metal grates, and uneven gravel. Gloved hands, masked faces, intense heat… all while half the plant grinds to a halt.

This isn't just a safety risk. It’s a profitability killer.

The Hidden Costs of Every Cleanout:

• ⏱ Operational downtime that hits your bottom line

• ⚠️ Elevated fall risks increasing insurance costs

• 🧰 Specialized gear creating ongoing expenses

• 🧍‍♂️ Multi-day maintenance teams slowing throughput

That’s why we developed the CCM® OCT Filter—a smarter, safer solution built for ground-level efficiency.

Why CCM® OCT Filter Sets a New Standard:

• ✅ Ground-level service: fewer ladders, fewer shutdowns

• ✅ Tool-free access: speedier service, lower labor costs

• ✅ No harnesses or platforms: reduced liability exposure

• ✅ Modular design: safer crews, smarter ops, more uptime

We didn’t design it to impress anyone. We designed it because someone almost didn’t go home.

There had to be a better way. So we built one.

This week, Engineered Recycling Systems is proud to spotlight our next-generation trim removal systems, custom-built for the paper converting industry. Designed to meet the demands of modern manufacturing, our systems combine vacuum transfer, scrap collection, and dust control into one seamless process.

What sets ERS apart? Two proprietary technologies:

• The Balancing Fan, which automatically adjusts airflow to optimize energy use and reduce pressure loss.

• The CCM® Filter, featuring rotating suction nozzles that clean every 2–3 minutes for maximum dust recovery and minimal maintenance.

From corrugated box plants to tissue mills, ERS trim removal systems are helping manufacturers:

• Improve product quality by eliminating debris
