In the medical industry, EPS packaging for medical equipment and devices is widely used to protect precision instruments, electronic medical equipment, such as CT machines, ultrasound instruments, and ECG monitors. However, these EPS packaging is usually discarded once the equipment is installed or unpacked, resulting in a large amount of waste EPS foam generated by hospitals every year.

The foam packaging of these devices is large in size, takes up a lot of storage and garbage storage space, and cannot be effectively stacked, which increases the difficulty of management. Many hospitals treat EPS packaging as ordinary garbage and need to pay high garbage removal fees. Traditional polystyrene recycling methods are limited, and hospitals face many difficulties in handling polystyrene waste packaging.

To solve this problem, GREENMAX Apolo Series polystyrene compactor provides an efficient and environmentally friendly foam recycling solution, which can not only save a lot of storage space, but also reduce processing costs and achieve resource recycling.

In addition, governments in many countries and regions are strengthening the control of medical waste and plastic pollution. Hospitals need to find more environmentally friendly polystyrene recycling solutions to meet policy requirements. GREENMAX polystyrene compactor solves the problem of foam packaging accumulation of instruments, compresses it into blocks, realizes the resource utilization of waste foam, and opens up a stable investment project for hospitals.

This equipment can solve the problems of storage, transportation, recycling and secondary sales of polystyrene waste packaging in hospitals. The Apolo series foam compactor adopts screw compression technology, which reduces the foam volume to 1/50 of the original through physical screw extrusion and forms blocks, which are convenient for stacking and transportation, while reducing the frequency and cost of garbage removal.

Through polystyrene recycling, loose foam is compressed into high-density blocks, becoming a renewable resource that can be sold to downstream recyclers. These EPS foam blocks will be used to produce new plastic products, such as recycled PS particles, photo frames, building material frames, etc. The polystyrene compactor reduces the high processing costs for hospitals and creates additional economic value.

The foam is put into the feed port, crushed and compressed, and then a compact polystyrene compacted ingot can be harvested. Ordinary cold-press foam compactors on the market often produce melt due to screw extrusion, which is mainly because the friction heat generated during the extrusion process makes the temperature too high. Taking this into consideration, GREENMAX has added a water ring component to the polystyrene compactor, which can efficiently avoid melt reactions. Therefore, if customers have this demand, they can directly add a water ring system to the machine to make polystyrene recycling more efficient.

Hospitals can use foam compactors to implement EPS foam recycling programs, establish sustainable medical waste management systems, enhance environmental protection images, and comply with the development trend of green medical care.
