Why EPS Recycling is much Easier than Before?
The concept of foam recycling is understood by more and more residents, and residents in many areas have participated in EPS recycling. And many communities have scheduled fixed expanded polystyrene recycling activity days every year or even every month.
Communities usually hold foam collection activities, calling on nearby residents to put difficult-to-handle EPS packaging at designated locations. The collected EPS foam is usually transported to a cooperative recycling company. There, the foam is broken and compacted into blocks by the EPS compactor. Large volumes of foam are compressed at a ratio of 50:1 and then transported to EPS recycling downstream recyclers for granulation processing to become reusable materials.
Additionally, environmental protection organizations will provide financial support for some regions to directly purchase and install an EPS compactor to radiate the surrounding expanded polystyrene recycling. Regions with foam recycling machines can conduct EPS recycling more conveniently and simply. They only need to contact downstream recyclers and cooperate in the sales of compressed EPS foam. The income obtained can be used as one of the fiscal revenue projects of the region, and even quickly cover the investment in the machine.
Obviously, the widespread application of EPS compactor has changed the traditional EPS processing method, making EPS recycling simpler, more efficient and popular. Even GREENMAX can provide our customers with EPS foam block sales solutions, purchase at a preferential price or provide other nearby sales channels to help customers achieve one-stop expanded polystyrene recycling.
EPS compactor is a device for reducing the volume of foam, which can compress loose large blocks of foam into compact rectangular blocks with a compression ratio of 50:1 or 90:1. After the volume reduction treatment, the amount of foam that can be transported by trucks or containers is obviously greatly increased, and the related costs are reduced. This foam recycling machine can significantly improve efficiency, enable companies involved in EPS recycling to gain economic benefits, and attract more companies in related industries to join recycling.
GREENMAX foam recycling machine has multiple series, all of which use different processes, such as cold-press compactor, hot melt machine and hydraulic-press compactor, to meet the different recycling needs of customers. The cold-press compactor uses screw crushing and compaction technology to achieve physical compaction of foam. In order to prevent melting, the EPS compactor can be equipped with a water ring cooling system to effectively reduce the temperature caused by friction heat and improve the efficiency of EPS recycling.
The hot melt machine has a better compression effect and can achieve the best volume reduction effect of 90:1. The hydraulic-press compactor neutralizes the advantages and disadvantages of the above two foam recycling machines and achieves a compaction of 70:1 through the hydraulic principle.
It is worth mentioning that on the basis of the ordinary cold-press EPS compactor, GREENMAX has upgraded the surface hot melt technology, which can handle a variety of materials with greater elasticity such as EPE, and is suitable for the demand for environmental protection equipment in Europe and parts of Asia.
Moreover, if you have any needs for granulation and cleaning equipment, GREENMAX can also provide you with professional solutions and equipment. We are happy to answer any questions you have.
