Founded in 1908 by Charles Geisen, SOPREMA is an independent, family-owned group that is a world leader in the design and manufacture of waterproofing solutions as well as roofing materials, acoustic and thermal insulation. Today, SOPREMA has 123 manufacturing facilities and more than 120 subsidiaries worldwide. As one of the subsidiaries of the SOPREMA Group, TECSOUND is mainly dedicated to the production of acoustic panel materials. The company is located in the northeast of France.

There are many types of materials used to make sound insulation panels, among which PUR foam is an important one, so a large amount of foam waste is generated during the production and cutting process. Just as they are always updating their products, this creative company wanted to crush this waste material into small pieces and repurpose it to make "silencing balls". These silencer balls are filled with crushed foam, and the appearance color and size can be flexibly changed according to customer needs. In this way, these silencer balls can not only absorb noise, but also achieve the effect of decorating and beautifying the environment. They make the best use of the materials and perfectly realize the closed loop of foam recycling.

However, in practice, the project leader Mr. Olivier found that due to the large size of their waste foam, the size after crushing by a general PUR foam crusher is not ideal. When filling the silencer balls, a large number of gaps will be created, and the noise absorption effect will be greatly reduced. Therefore, Mr. Olivier began to search for professional foam crushing equipment on the Internet. During the Google search, he was attracted by the customized cases of INTCO Recycling GREENMAX and left a message on the website hoping that we could provide a PUR foam crusher that meets his size requirements.

After learning about the customer's needs, GREENMAX sales staff immediately contacted the project leader of Tecsound and actively discussed the design of the crusher with the engineer based on the customer's material conditions. After the plan was initially determined, the customer was asked to send materials for testing. After several debugging and improvements, the test results were able to meet the customer's requirements. In October last year, GREENMAX sales staff went to France to visit the customer on-site, and worked with Olivier and the head of the headquarters to finalize the final details of the project. The customer placed an order for a customized PUR foam crusher that day.

Before the machine was shipped, we again used the customer's materials for testing and sent the crushed foam to the customer for testing. The customer was very satisfied with the test results and our service, and the machine is expected to be shipped in a week.

GREENMAX is not only an expert in the recycling of foam such as EPS, EPE and EPP, but also is increasingly developing into a provider of customized recycling solutions for many types of foams.
