The EPS Foam Compactor Machine usually adopts a hydraulic system, by controlling the pressure and temperature, it can cold press the foam under low-temperature conditions, to improve the density and strength of the products. The machine compacts EPS blocks at a ratio of 50:1 and achieves densities of 250-350 kg/m³. These blocks can be easily managed and sold to recycling companies. The reduction in volume makes the transportation of waste EPS more cost-effective and contributes to more efficient waste management.

EPS foam compactor raw material

EPS Foam (Polystyrene Foam) is used in a wide range of industries due to its insulation, shock resistance, and fall protection properties. This material is often found in our lives in the form of furniture packaging, fish boxes, building materials, EPS corners, EPS trays, and more.

EPS foam cold pressing machines are usually able to accommodate different types and densities of foam materials. Tell us the raw materials you need to process and we can provide you with customized processing solutions.

Turn Your EPS Waste into Value

EPS can also be referred to as airpop or foam polystyrene. This versatile material can be used for a variety of purposes, from insulation to protecting products during transportation.

This lightweight but expanding material is not biodegradable, and if it is not compressed, it usually ends up in landfills, causing serious problems. However, by selling compressed EPS blocks, you can generate revenue. So compressed EPS can be a win-win situation for both your business and the environment.

finished product you can get

The increased density and strength of compacted EPS foam block make the foam material more practical and adaptable. The block can be sold for reusing and making frame products and construction moldings, such as crown molding, wall panels, etc. It can also be used for packaging and the manufacture of furniture.

benefits of EPS foam recycling compactor

  1. Simple machine structure, easy to operate and maintain.
  2. High efficiency, low noise, and less dust.
  3. The compressed volume is 30-40 times smaller than before, with high foam density, and is easy to cut and store.
  4. Accepting customization, different sizes of inlets can be selected for cold compression.
  5. There is no need to add any other chemical materials during compression, and no odor will be produced.
  6. The machine is equipped with a crushing device, which can directly crush large foam sheets.

How styrofoam recycling densifier works?

  1. Put the EPS foam materials to be processed into the hopper.
  2. Crush the large EPS foam into small pieces.
  3. Compress the EPS foam using pressure and hydraulic technology.
  4. Compacting and pressing by screw extrusion.

two types of foam compaction equipment

Shuliy has vertical and horizontal types of EPS foam compactor cold press equipment to choose from. They have their characteristic advantages. Which one to choose needs to be considered comprehensively based on specific production needs and process requirements.

Horizontal EPS foam compactor

  • Space-saving: occupies less floor area, suitable for factories or workshops with limited space.
  • Convenient operation: the operator can easily operate and observe from the front of the machine, which is convenient for monitoring the production process.
  • Easy to maintain: the structure is relatively simple, and maintenance and upkeep are relatively easy, reducing maintenance costs.
  • Good visibility: the operating interface and press area are usually easier for the operator to observe, allowing for easy adjustments and monitoring.

Vertical EPS foam compactor

  • Suitable for products with special shapes: it is more convenient to manufacture products with certain special shapes and can cope with more production demands.
  • More stable pressure transfer: since the product is placed horizontally, it may be easier to realize uniform pressure transfer to ensure the quality of the finished product.
  • Suitable for large products: often suitable for large products or where a larger press space is required, providing greater manufacturing flexibility.
  • Higher productivity: for certain production processes, the ability to handle more products at the same time increases productivity.

hot-selling foam recycling machinery

The rise of the plastic recycling industry around the world, makes the EPS foam compactor have a better market prospect in these markets. Especially in developed countries and more industrialized regions. Shuliy EPS foam compactor plastic recycling machinery has shipped to many countries such as Dominica, Malaysia, Canada, Egypt, Morocco, the United States, Germany, Japan, Korea, India, Brazil, Russia, Australia, and Turkey.

A producer of high-quality cod in the United States operates a large fishing company. Due to the size of the operation, many Styrofoam boxes were used to contain fresh fish. A large number of waste boxes were generated. In the past, they had no choice but to send this waste to a landfill. After learning about our foam compactor recycling solution, they purchased and installed the machine from our factory and successfully recycled the discarded Styrofoam boxes.
