If you are going to recycle plastic foam, the foam compactor machine will be one of the important pieces of equipment you are going to choose. EPS foam compactor is a kind of equipment that is used for the cold pressing and compression process of foam plastic. The EPS/EPE foam densifier can exponentially reduce the foam volume and increase the density, which is good for foam recycling or landfill disposal.
What is a Foam Compactor Machine?
EPS foam compactor is a key piece of industrial equipment whose main function is to convert plastic foam products into solid molded products with high density and strength through a cold pressing process. The EPS/EPE foam densifier is suitable for foam recycling applications. After the foam is compressed by the EPS foam compactor, the density of the foam increases and it becomes a square block, which makes it easy to transport and store.
Working Principle of EPS Foam Compactor
The foam compactor machine is an environmentally friendly machine that uses the force of a rotating spiral to extrude and cold press the compression of foam for the reinforcement and molding of plastic foams.
The pre-treated foam enters the EPS/EPE foam densifier, and the machine starts to apply high pressure. During compression, the foam gradually combines and forms a dense block structure. The continuous application of high pressure helps to eliminate the voids between the particles and allows the material to reach the desired density. Over time, the material cures and retains its shape.
Features of Shuliy Foam Compactor Machine
- EPS foam compactor uses the principle of spiral propulsion compression to successfully solve the problems of foam, which is light, takes up a lot of space, is not easy to recycle, and is inconvenient to transport. The compression effect of this equipment is remarkable, and there is no need to add other chemicals, and no odor is produced during the cold pressing process.
- The cold pressing process does not involve high temperatures and avoids melting and deformation of the material, thus better preserving the properties of the original material.
- The cold pressing process is often faster and easier to operate than other processing methods, helping to reduce production costs.
- The remarkable compression effect of the foam compactor machine, with a compression ratio of up to 40 times, means that it is able to rapidly reduce the volume of the originally large foam, effectively solving the space problem for storage and transport.
