Waste Extraction Trim, Matrix & Dust Removal for Modern Converting Lines

A trim and matrix removal system is at the core of every ERS solution, and we welcome you to ERS — your partner for engineered trim, matrix, dust, and scrap removal across the entire converting industry. Our systems support label printing, narrow‑web production, film and foil converting, laminate manufacturing, paper converting, and high‑volume tissue operations. Every solution is designed for clean production, stable vacuum performance, and reliable conveying at today’s high line speeds.

Our trim and matrix removal systems handle edge trim, die‑cut matrix, and production scrap from presses, slitters, laminators, rewinders, folders, and packaging equipment. Continuous extraction helps prevent matrix breaks, reduces winding issues, and supports consistent, high‑speed operation across pressure‑sensitive labels, films, foils, laminates, coated substrates, and hygiene products. By maintaining stable airflow and consistent vacuum levels, ERS systems help converting lines run at full efficiency without interruptions caused by waste buildup or unstable conveying.

ERS dust collection systems capture airborne fibers, fine particulate, and converting dust generated during cutting, slitting, folding, embossing, and tissue production. Efficient filtration and controlled airflow help maintain cleaner work areas, reduce fire‑risk, and support safe, compliant operation in paper and tissue converting environments. These systems are engineered to manage both fine particulate and lightweight fibers that are common in high‑speed converting processes, ensuring a cleaner and safer production environment.

For facilities operating multiple lines, ERS designs centralized waste handling systems that combine trim, matrix, dust, and scrap into a single engineered waste stream. Central systems reduce floor clutter, simplify maintenance, and support continuous production with outside‑building waste collection options. This approach allows facilities to consolidate waste management into a streamlined, efficient process that supports long‑term operational stability.

ERS solutions are built for long‑term reliability, clean operation, and consistent performance across label, film, foil, laminate, paper, and tissue converting lines. Whether you operate a single press or a multi‑line production facility, ERS provides engineered waste extraction systems tailored to your process. Our systems are designed to integrate seamlessly with existing production equipment, offering flexible configurations that adapt to the unique requirements of each converting environment.

Beyond the core functions of trim, matrix, and dust removal, ERS systems support broader operational goals such as reduced downtime, improved product quality, and enhanced workplace safety. By maintaining clean production conditions and preventing waste accumulation, our systems help operators focus on production rather than manual cleanup or troubleshooting waste‑related issues. This contributes to a more efficient workflow and a more reliable production schedule.

ERS also supports sustainability initiatives by enabling more efficient waste handling and reducing the environmental impact of converting operations. By consolidating waste streams and improving the efficiency of waste collection, our systems help facilities reduce energy consumption, minimize material loss, and support recycling efforts where applicable. This aligns with the growing demand for environmentally responsible production practices across the converting industry.

Our engineering team works closely with customers to design systems that meet the specific needs of their production lines. This includes evaluating material types, line speeds, waste characteristics, and facility layout to develop a solution that delivers optimal performance. Whether you are processing lightweight films, heavy laminates, coated papers, or delicate tissue products, ERS provides a system that ensures consistent waste extraction and reliable operation.

ERS systems are supported by comprehensive service and maintenance programs that help ensure long‑term performance. Our team provides installation support, system optimization, and ongoing technical assistance to keep your waste extraction system operating at peak efficiency. This commitment to service helps customers maintain high production standards and avoid costly downtime.

In addition to system design and installation, ERS offers guidance on best practices for waste handling, airflow management, and system maintenance. This includes recommendations for duct routing, separation efficiency, filtration performance, and overall system configuration. These insights help customers maximize the value of their waste extraction system and maintain consistent production quality.

As converting technologies evolve, production speeds increase, and material structures become more complex, the demands placed on waste extraction systems continue to grow. ERS remains committed to developing solutions that meet these challenges through engineering innovation, robust system design, and a deep understanding of the converting industry. Our focus on reliability and performance ensures that ERS systems continue to support clean, efficient, and stable operation across a wide range of converting environments.

With decades of experience in the converting industry, ERS continues to innovate and refine our waste extraction technologies to meet the evolving needs of modern production environments. Our focus on engineering excellence, system reliability, and customer support has made ERS a trusted partner for converting facilities across a wide range of industries. As production speeds increase and material diversity expands, ERS remains committed to delivering solutions that support clean, efficient, and reliable operation.
