EPS compactor for EPE PUR EVA

An EPS compactor, also known as a foam compactor or foam densifier, can be used to compact and densify a variety of foam materials, including Expanded Polystyrene (EPS), Expanded Polyethylene (EPE), Polyurethane (PUR), and Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate (EVA). These machines are designed to reduce the volume of foam waste for efficient storage, transportation, and recycling. Here's how they work and their benefits when used for these foam materials:

How EPS Compactors for Foam Materials Work:

Collection: Foam waste, such as EPS, EPE, PUR, or EVA, is collected from various sources, including packaging materials, cushioning, insulation, and more.

Shredding or Breaking Down (Optional): Depending on the type and size of foam waste, it may be necessary to shred or break it down into smaller pieces to facilitate the compaction process. This can be done manually or with the assistance of a separate shredder or cutter.

Feeding into the Compactor: The collected foam waste is then fed into the compactor's chamber, typically through a hopper or conveyor system.

Densification: Inside the compactor, the foam waste is subjected to mechanical pressure and, in some cases, heat. The pressure compacts and densifies the foam, significantly reducing its volume.

Extrusion or Baling: Depending on the specific compactor design, the densified foam may be extruded through a nozzle and formed into dense logs, blocks, or other shapes as it cools down.

Cutting and Storage: The solidified densified foam logs or blocks are cut into manageable sizes and can be stored for recycling or disposal.

Benefits of EPS Compactors for Foam Materials:

Volume Reduction: EPS compactors for foam materials can reduce the volume of foam waste by a substantial amount, making it easier and more cost-effective to transport and store.

Environmental Benefits: By compacting and densifying foam waste, these compactors contribute to reducing the environmental impact of disposing of bulky foam materials in landfills. This can lead to lower carbon emissions associated with transportation and landfill space conservation.

Recycling Opportunities: Densified foam materials are more marketable and valuable to recycling facilities. They can be more easily transported to recycling centers for processing into new foam products or other materials.

Cost Savings: Using a foam compactor can lead to cost savings in waste disposal, as businesses may pay less for waste collection and disposal services due to reduced volume.

Efficiency: Foam compactors streamline waste management processes, reduce the need for frequent waste pickups, and free up space within storage areas.

Regulatory Compliance: In some regions, regulations may require businesses and organizations to manage foam waste responsibly. Foam compactors can help companies meet these regulations by reducing the volume of waste they generate.

Foam compactors are versatile machines that can be valuable for businesses, recycling facilities, and organizations that generate foam waste. They provide an eco-friendly solution for foam waste disposal and can contribute to recycling efforts and cost savings.

First with the crusher and the screen on this compactor to get the small size of the material, then after the material fall down into the screw, the main motor push the  material forward in the screw, meanwhile the hydraulic system on the mould head close to press the EPS material, the EPS material will come out by blocks, it can reduce 30-50 times space for the material, and easy to move an delivery. All the parts of the machine we composed into one machine, save cost , power consumption, and space for the machine. The EPS blocks can be crushed again to process to the next unit.

The EPS compactor RGP-CP250 which capacity is 100kg/h from Packer Machinery, with the 2.2kw crusher and 7.5kw screw motor. The EPS compactor RGP-CP250 is suitable for the big super market, seafood market, it is also fit for the middle size EPS waste recycling companies to compact the waste material. The customer will get the EPS block for 250mmX250mm size.
