EPS Styrofoam Polystyrene Compactor

An EPS Styrofoam Polystyrene compactor, often referred to as an EPS densifier or Styrofoam densifier, is a specialized machine designed to compact and densify Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) foam waste, commonly known as Styrofoam™. EPS foam is a lightweight, bulky, and non-biodegradable material that can take up a significant amount of space in landfills. EPS compactors are used to reduce the volume of EPS foam waste for more efficient storage, transportation, recycling, or disposal. Here's how they work and their benefits:

How EPS Styrofoam Polystyrene Compactors Work:

Collection: EPS foam waste, including packaging materials, protective foam inserts, and product packaging, is collected from various sources.

Shredding or Breaking Down (Optional): Depending on the type and size of EPS 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 EPS foam waste is then fed into the compactor's chamber, typically through a hopper or conveyor system.

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

Extrusion or Baling: Depending on the specific compactor design, the densified EPS 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 EPS logs or blocks are cut into manageable sizes and can be stored for recycling or disposal.

Benefits of EPS Styrofoam Polystyrene Compactors:

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

Environmental Benefits: By compacting and densifying EPS 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 EPS 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 an EPS 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: EPS 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 EPS foam waste responsibly. EPS compactors can help companies meet these regulations by reducing the volume of waste they generate.

EPS Styrofoam Polystyrene compactors are valuable machines for businesses, recycling facilities, and organizations that deal with significant quantities of EPS foam waste. They provide an eco-friendly solution for EPS foam waste disposal, recycling, and environmental sustainability efforts.

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.
