An EPS compactor, also known as a Styrofoam compactor or EPS foam compactor. It is a machine that compresses expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam into a more compact form. It is also an important machine in the EPS foam recycling industry. This makes it easier to transport and store EPS waste. With the help of the Shuliy EPS foam compactor, the volume of the foam can be reduced by 40 times.

Feature of the Styrofoam Densifier

Cold Compression Technology: Shuliy EPS styrofoam densifier utilizes cold compression techniques to condense EPS foam efficiently, reducing its volume significantly without the need for added heat, making it environmentally friendly.

High Compression Ratio: These compactors offer an impressive compression ratio, often achieving ratios of 40:1 or higher, ensuring substantial reduction in EPS foam volume, and simplifying storage and transportation.

Adjustable compression ratio: there is a pressure-adjusting device at the front of the machine, so customers can adjust the compression ratio according to their needs.

Durable Construction: Shuliy styrofoam densifiers are built with durable materials and reliable components, ensuring longevity and consistent performance even in demanding industrial environments.

How Does an Eps Compactor Work?

1. Put the EPS foam waste to be recycled into the feeding port.
2. The crushing device will crush the large pieces of foam into small pieces.
3. The cold pressing device of the foam compactor will compress the crushed EPS foam. Unlike the foam melting machine, the EPS compactor will not generate heat during the working process.
4. Finally, the screw device extrudes the compressed EPS foam into square foam blocks.

Types of EPS Compactors

Cold Press Styrofoam Compactors

Using pressure without heat, these compactors compress EPS foam into manageable blocks.

Screw Type Styrofoam Compactors

These compactors utilize a screw mechanism to compress EPS materials efficiently, often used in larger-scale operations due to their high throughput capabilities.

Hot Melt EPS Densifiers

Employing heat to melt EPS foam, these densifiers condense the material, creating denser blocks, and are favored for their effectiveness in reducing EPS volume.

Hydraulic EPS Compactors

These compactors rely on hydraulic pressure to condense EPS foam, providing versatility and adaptability in compressing various EPS densities.

Styrofoam Densifier Cost

1. Capacity and Size: Larger foam densifiers capable of handling higher volumes generally cost more than smaller units designed for lower quantities of Styrofoam.
2. Technology and Features: Foam densifiers with advanced features like automatic operation, higher compression ratios, or energy-efficient designs may be priced higher than basic models.
3. Additional Costs: Consider additional expenses like shipping, installation, training, and any required accessories or maintenance plans.

Maintenance and Operational Requirements of EPS Compactors

1. Routine Inspections: Conduct regular checks on key components such as hydraulic systems, electrical connections, and moving parts to ensure they’re functioning properly.
2. Cleaning: Keep the machine clean from residual EPS foam and debris to prevent buildup that might hinder operation or cause damage.
3. Safety Checks: Regularly inspect safety features such as emergency stops, guards, and sensors to ensure they are functional for operator safety.
4. Scheduled Servicing: Schedule periodic servicing or professional inspections to address any potential issues before they become major problems, ensuring consistent functionality.
5. Replacement of Parts: Replace worn-out or damaged components promptly to prevent further damage to the machine and maintain optimal performance.
