Artists prefer to use foam for large-scale installations because it is lightweight, easy to apply various surface treatments, and can be processed by hand or machine tools. In addition, discarded foam sculptures can be recycled through polystyrene recycling.

Most artists use expanded polystyrene for foam sculptures. For example, artist Hebru Brantley used foam to create a series of lifelike sculptures of the iconic Flyboy character. Polystyrene is made of beads that are expanded using heat and a blowing agent. It is very cheap and can be easily obtained through local stores.

Expanded polystyrene is a lightweight material that makes it easier for artists to manipulate sculptures during production, as well as to transport and install finished products. Most importantly, polystyrene is a fully recyclable material, and polystyrene recycling can be smoothly decomposed into PS particles and applied to the production of various environmentally friendly products.

Foam recycling solution mainly uses foam compactors to reduce the volume of foam, and then the foam blocks are granulated into PS particles. As an expert in customized foam recycling solutions, INTCO Recycling can provide professional foam compactors to assist customers in solving the problem of waste foam disposal, avoid landfills, and enable customers to benefit from it.

The foam compactor developed by INTCO Recycling uses hydraulic technology to reduce the volume of foam, with a compression ratio of 70:1. The polystyrene compactor is a polystyrene recycling machine using innovative technology. Compared with ordinary cold-press compactors and hot melting densifiers on the market, it can better meet customers' high compression ratio and environmental protection needs. The compression ratio of the cold-press compactor is generally 50:1 and the operation of this machine is complicated, while the densifier uses hot melting technology. Some odors generated during the polystyrene recycling process may affect the warehouse. Therefore, the foam compactor hydraulic series is the most suitable choice.

The polystyrene compactor is highly automated, easy to operate and equipped with an intelligent machine operating system. INTCO Recycling's engineers will set up the matching compression mode in the foam compactor after in-depth understanding of the customer's waste to be processed. If customers have parameter adjustment needs in subsequent polystyrene recycling, we can provide timely online video communication or offline door-to-door visits.

INTCO Recycling provides foam block sales solutions to our polystyrene compactor customers. We provide repurchase services at preferential prices, or provide customers with other local sales channels. The density of foam blocks compressed by foam compactor hydraulic series is 300-380kgs/m3. On the one hand, it can reduce transportation costs, and on the other hand, it can significantly improve the granulation efficiency. This foam compactor is welcomed by many recyclers.

If you have any questions about polystyrene recycling, or have excess waste foam that needs to be disposed of in an environmentally friendly manner, INTCO Recycling will be happy to provide you with the most suitable foam recycling solution.
