Engineered Recycling Systems Partners With Line 5 Capital to Drive Growth and Innovation

The announcement of Line 5 Capital’s investment in Engineered Recycling Systems (ERS) marks a pivotal moment for the company, reinforcing its position as a leader in dust collection and trim removal systems for the paper and paper converting industries. This partnership introduces new opportunities for growth without disrupting the established expertise and leadership already present at ERS.

ERS specializes in designing, manufacturing, installing, and servicing turnkey systems for a variety of applications, notably in corrugated manufacturing and paper converting. With Line 5 Capital’s investment, ERS is poised to scale its business further while enhancing its already strong reputation for customer support. This boost will not only fortify existing operations but also expand the company’s capacity to meet increasing market demands.

One of ERS’s flagship offerings is its Scrap and Trim Collection and Dust Control systems, which have been particularly well-received in the corrugated manufacturing industry. These systems stand apart from conventional alternatives due to their advanced technology, which includes the CCM® OCT Filter. ERS’s innovations optimize system performance by balancing air flows and reducing energy consumption. The Balancing Fan, which eliminates the need for airlocks, stabilizes energy distribution, ensuring that the system only uses the necessary horsepower to operate. Meanwhile, the CCM® OCT Filter cleans dust-laden air efficiently through oscillating and rotating suction nozzles that ensure continuous operation with minimal pressure loss. This design leads to increased efficiency and lower operational and maintenance costs for customers.

For the paper converting industry, ERS offers state-of-the-art trim removal systems that help businesses maximize production and increase recycling revenue. ERS customizes each system to the specific requirements of the client, ensuring that both efficiency and profitability are maximized.

ERS’s commitment to customer satisfaction extends beyond system design and installation. The company operates a 55,000-square-foot facility in Atlanta, where it stocks major parts, operates a service department ready to support clients, and operates a test facility where they showcase all of their equipment. Their dedication to post-installation service ensures that ERS can swiftly address any maintenance needs or spare parts requests, keeping client operations running smoothly.

Mike Carver, who is a Mechanical Engineer and Vice President of Sales and Marketing, brings over 30 years of experience in the paper, paper converting, and recycling industries. His customer-first philosophy is at the heart of ERS’s approach to business: “The customer’s success is our success. We will do everything we can to keep your operation running.” This guiding principle, combined with ERS’s technical expertise and cutting-edge solutions, has positioned the company as a trusted partner in industries dealing with dust collection and scrap management challenges.

The partnership between ERS and Line 5 Capital signals a new era for the company, with growth and innovation at the forefront. As ERS continues to expand its capabilities, it remains committed to maintaining its customer-centric approach and delivering high-quality systems that meet the evolving needs of its clients. With Line 5 Capital’s backing, ERS is well-equipped to take on the challenges of the future while continuing to offer the same level of care and attention that has made it a leader in its field.
