Styrofoam, Plastic Foam, Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) Densifiers

Styrofoam, Plastic Foam, Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) Densifiers recycling equipment is a patent – pending polystyrene extraction system that lowers the cost per operator by densifying all types of polystyrene from food containers to packaging material. After shredding the material it is funneled into an extractor that heats up the material, melts it and extrudes the polystyrene, generating a solid mass compressed down to 90 times its weight by volume. Imagine 90 tractor trailer full of EPS and condensing it all down to just one tractor trailer.

Ultimately up to 98% of scrap material or waste ends up in our waste stream and takes up 25 to 30 percent of the nation’s available landfill space. While technically it is not harmful, it just does not decompose.
Expanded polystyrene (EPS) is made up of ninety-eight percent air and 2 percent plastic and thus has a high volume, low weight ratio, so even a small quantity can rapidly fill a bin or container. Recycling of plastic, paper and glass is common in the United States, but recycling polystyrene is not. Japan, Korea and some European countries recycle as much as 60 percent of their EPS waste, but it is still a problem.
Many believe that EPS is not worth recycling. It does not compress easily and is so lightweight that even the slightest breeze blows it away and making it difficult to control. In the past those who have tried to recycle EPS couldn't find an affordable process to recycle EPS. It used to be a process that was messy, slow, and lacking in its ability to handle large volumes of material easily. Now this is not the case. We have 4 sizes to accommodate your business recycling equipment needs.
