Turnkey Scrap Collection and Baling Systems

AES designs and builds automated scrap collection and baling systems that help manufacturers achieve production goals while supporting efficient, sustainable operations. Factors such as grade segregation, bale integrity, and bale weight all contribute to a profitable scrap program, and automation is key to addressing today’s labor challenges. As system integration specialists, we work with leading equipment manufacturers to ensure you get the right combination of components to maximize recovered fiber value and minimize labor costs. Our engineers understand your unique production environment and develop systems built for long-term reliability—with capacity to grow as your business evolves.

AirShark™ Air-Material Separator

The AirShark™ is a robust, versatile air-material separator engineered for high performance in a compact footprint. With capacities up to 64,000 CFM and a low-profile design, it’s an ideal replacement for bulky cyclones or traditional screen separators. The AirShark eliminates downpressure and swirling paper at the baler discharge chute for clean, efficient operation, and the fully sealed V-apex rotor requires no adjustment for different material types. Built for continuous operation, the AirShark can be installed above or below the roof, either indoors or outdoors, for both new and retrofit applications. The AirShark is manufactured in the United States using 100% U.S.-sourced materials, offering the advantages of a tariff-free product and dependable domestic support.

NFPA-Compliant Dust Control

Combustible dust presents one of the most significant safety risks in box and corrugated production. AES provides expert solutions to control fugitive dust and mitigate the risk of fire or explosion. We offer baghouse and cartridge-style collectors, HEPA filters, and enclosureless dust collection systems, along with industrial dust testing and consulting. AES’s comprehensive line of dust collection and explosion protection products helps manufacturers meet NFPA standards, achieve safety goals, and stay ahead of evolving regulations and enforcement.
