INTCO Recycling Styrofoam Densifier Daily Maintenance Guide

INTCO Recycling Styrofoam densifier uses high-temperature thermal melting technology to reduce the volume of expanded polystyrene, with a compression ratio of 90:1. This kind of hot melt materials is more popular with downstream recyclers. It not only saves transportation costs, but also significantly improves granulation efficiency.

INTCO Recycling's engineers and sales partners will provide customers with detailed operating training for the foam recycling machine, and we provide text and video versions of the machine's instructions.

Next, INTCO Recycling will provide maintenance and operation guidance for the Styrofoam densifier to maximize the service life of the machine and meet customer needs for Styrofoam recycling solution.

The Styrofoam densifier is best placed in a ventilated environment to prevent dust accumulation and affect the working efficiency of the machine. When the Styrofoam recycling is completed, the staff is best to clean the machine and the site, which can not only maintain the factory's 5S, but also prevent the foam residue from blocking the foam recycling machine and causing other damage.

INTCO Recycling Styrofoam densifier generally does not allow the main machine to operate under no-load to avoid scratching the screw and barrel. The raw materials to be processed must be clean. Metal, cloth belts, sand and other debris are strictly prohibited from entering the feeding bin, which can effectively prevent damage to the rotating knife, barrel and screw.

Additionally, if the staff finds abnormal phenomena during the operation of the foam recycling machine, the machine should be stopped immediately for inspection and repair in time.


Before the Styrofoam densifier is put into use, it must be filled with lubricating oil of appropriate viscosity. The lubricating oil needs to be replaced after 200 hours of use for the first time, and then every six months.

The staff needs to drain the lubricating oil in the machine first, rinse it clean, and then refill the new lubricating oil to the center of the oil mark. It should be noted that too high or too low oil level may cause the operating temperature to rise, affecting the normal operation of Styrofoam recycling.

Moreover, it is necessary to regularly check whether the chain of INTCO Recycling Styrofoam densifier is loose. If it is loose, please fix it in time.

INTCO Recycling will include a detailed maintenance guide for the Styrofoam densifier in the machine manual. If you have any questions, our engineers can provide timely feedback and guidance through online video calls to help you solve your machine usage questions as soon as possible.

Daily maintenance and care of the Styrofoam densifier can effectively extend the life of the machine and maximize the benefits of the Styrofoam recycling solution. Everyone must not ignore the maintenance of the machine.
