TekniPlex Consumer Products is a global integrated supplier providing innovative solutions through materials science and manufacturing technologies and has promoted the market's first pressure-sensitive seal made from expanded polyethylene.

This company will display the new ePress Seal Liner, a pressure-sensitive seal made from expanded polyethylene (EPE), at the FachPack 2024 show in Nuremberg, Germany, September 24-26. Compared with normal PS materials, this EPE foam product is more flexible and has greater resistance to compression, which can provide longer-lasting sealing performance.

And ePress Seal can be recycled in areas with an EPE recycling stream, which has a wider recycling range than traditional PS materials. EPE recycling can be realized with the help of EPE foam recycling machines like EPE compactors and can be monetized by selling PE foam blocks. Thereby, the return on the investment of machines can be obtained within one or two years.

EPE is a foam with strong flexibility. If the foam is transported directly after collection, it is obviously inefficient and expensive. Hence, the first step of EPE recycling is using an EPE foam recycling machine for the volume reduction of foam, which can greatly improve the subsequent efficiency of transportation and storage management by 50 times.

The compressed foam blocks can be sold to down-stream recyclers to obtain stable profits. Now, many enterprises have begun to participate in EPE recycling, not only due to the environmental significance, but also due to the huge profits from the sale of EPE foam blocks. EPE foam blocks will be recycled materials after the granulation process, which can be remade into brand new environmentally friendly products. For enterprises, investing in an EPE compactor to perform EPE recycling is the most cost-effective and simple method.

As a leader in the field of recycled foam materials, GREENMAX has rich research and practical experience. The EPE compactors developed by GREENMAX have helped numerous enterprises to perform EPE recycling. And we insist on improving and upgrading this EPE foam recycling machine by the customers’ actual usage feedback and market demand.

To prevent the elastic EPE foam from expanding or rebounding from the inside, GREENMAX EPE compactors use physical screw compression and surface hot melting process. When the foam is crushed and squeezed into compact blocks by the screw, this EPE foam recycling machine will heat the surface of the foam at a high temperature, make it cool, and solidify quickly, so as to prevent the foam blocks from expanding.

Moreover, for waste EPE foam with higher density, GREENMAX will upgrade the material and size of the screw crusher in the EPE compactor, confirming the foam will be crushed uniformly and convenient for subsequent EPE recycling.

If you have any questions about EPE recycling or EPE compactor, GREENMAX is willing to answer you.
