Engineered Dust Collection for Tissue, Towel and Napkin Converting
Turnkey waste conveyance and dust collection systems for tissue, towel, kitchen roll and napkin converting have to hold stable production, clean air and safe working conditions in a plant that runs flat out. ERS designs and builds the conveyance, the extraction and the filtration as one integrated system, and takes single-point responsibility for it from design through to commissioning.
What a Hygiene Line Produces
Modern tissue and towel lines make continuous trim, fine airborne particulate and lightweight scrap, all at once and all at different rates. Rewinders, folders, embossers, perforators, log saws and packaging equipment each load the system differently, and the log saw does it in bursts rather than evenly. A system that averages across them will be wrong at every station.
ERS captures particulate at the source and holds consistent airflow across all shifts, not only on the shift the system was commissioned on.
Engineered, Not Estimated
Each installation is built on precise static-pressure calculations, balanced duct routing and filtration capacity sized for the particulate load of today's lightweight, high-volume hygiene products. High-speed converting creates fluctuating airflow and variable particulate loads, and the system is designed to stabilize that rather than react to it. The result is no trim buildup and reliable conveying when every station calls for air together.
What a Turnkey Scope Actually Includes
Fan and filter sizing, airflow modeling, duct layout, controls integration and on-site commissioning. Systems incorporate airflow monitoring, safety interlocks and automated cleaning cycles that hold performance steady and cut manual intervention. Engineered pickup points, pre-separation stages and cyclonic elements sit ahead of the filtration, so the filter sees air rather than material.
That scope is the point. A plant that buys conveyance from one supplier and filtration from another owns the interface between them, and the interface is where these systems fail.
Separation and Baling
Trim leaves the airstream before it reaches the baler. The Low Profile Separator does that in a fraction of the height a conventional cyclone needs, which usually decides whether a retrofit fits an existing converting hall at all. Where headroom allows, ERS builds conventional cyclone separators into the same position, and supplies and integrates the industrial balers downstream as part of the same installation.
The CCM® OCT Filter
At the end of the system the CCM® OCT filter cleans itself while the plant keeps running. One gear motor sits outside the filter, out of the dust, and turns the central shaft and the boom. The nozzle traverse takes its motion from that rotation mechanically, so nothing electrical moves inside the drum and no compressed air is needed for cleaning. Scrapers turn with the shaft and wipe fiber off the rings back onto the media. Pressure drop stays low across a shift, and a media change is tool-free at roughly four to six minutes per panel.
Where the air side needs addressing on its own, the detail sits under dust collection for paper, tissue and hygiene production and vacuum transfer air dust collection.
Compliance and Safety
Pre-separation, cyclonic stages and high-efficiency filtration are specified to support the plant's NFPA and OSHA obligations, and ERS works those requirements through with the plant and its insurer on a site-by-site basis rather than claiming a system meets them in the abstract. Safety interlocks and airflow monitoring are part of the controls scope, not an option added afterwards.
Why Converters Choose ERS
Engineered systems that reduce downtime, improve cleanliness and support safe, efficient production — and one company accountable for the result. ERS has delivered into new installations, expansions and modernization projects across tissue, towel, napkin and hygiene converting. The engineering team evaluates line speeds, particulate load, trim characteristics and facility layout before anything is quoted, so the system supports what the plant will run next year as well as what it runs today.
The complete waste chain is described under trim removal and vacuum transfer air dust collection, the line-specific detail under tissue converting facilities trim removal systems, and the wider equipment range on the paper converting systems page.
The same engineering serves corrugated box plants, folding carton converting, paperboard production, paper converting, commercial printing, flexible packaging, label converting and paper mills, and the converting air side under dust collection systems for paper converting.
Service and Spare Parts
A turnkey system is worth what it does in year five. ERS keeps a stocked warehouse and supports every installation it builds, from commissioning through to spare parts and service. Filter media, wear parts and fan components are available without a lead time measured in months.
