EPS pelletizing machine is mainly used to re-granulate the waste EPS expanded polystyrene and recycle it to get EPS pellets to save space.

Introduction of EPS pelletizing machine

EPS pelletizing machine, also known as EPS granulator, can produce foam pellets without destroying the original molecular structure and produce pellets for various uses. The EPS pelletizing machine makes the final product into pellets by crushing-plasticizing-granulating the waste EPS foam through the process.

Raw materials of EPS granulator

EPS foam is an ordinary plastic material that is made from polystyrene through a special processing process. It is usually used in packaging materials as well as various household items, such as foam fast food boxes, foam packing boxes, refrigerator outer packaging foam, and other white foam waste.

Recycling process of plastic foam extruder

 crushing—plasticizing—drawing—cooling—cutting

The main process of EPS foam recycling line is very simple.

Firstly, the waste plastic foam is crushed by EPS foam melting machine. Then the EPS foam is filled into the hopper and is melted and extruded to the auxiliary machine by the main machine of the EPS granulator. After secondary plasticization, the electric screen changing die filters the impurities and enters the cold pool for cooling then enters the pelletizer for cutting to get uniform EPS pellets.

Advantages of EPS foam pelletizing machine

  • Automated production and labor-saving. The design of the feed opening takes into account the different densities of the material. The customer can control the feeding speed.
  • The primary and secondary screw barrels are made of imported high-strength and high-quality carbon structural steel, which is solid and durable.
  • The primary and auxiliary machines are used for production, and the heating temperature is stable, which effectively improves the material’s molecular structure, enhances air permeability, and improves the quality of the granules significantly.
  • The temperature control box enables customers to know the working condition such as the temperature of the screw, and customers can adjust it according to the color of the noodles. It avoids overheating or melting failure and also facilitates the manufacture of more transparent pellets.
  • Custom-designed for stand-alone use or can be integrated with crushers and compactors into the entire foam recycling line. Online installation instruction and other training services are available.
  • The pellets produced are widely used and in short supply in the market. They are exported to Japan and Korea and are widely praised by users. Its mechanical performance is stable and reliable, and the output depends on the size of the equipment.

FAQ

What is an EPS pelletizing machine?

EPS pelletizing machine is designed to recycle waste EPS products or waste EPS beans to produce plastic pellets that can be used in other plastic applications.

Can I customize the EPS pellet size?

Yes, we offer standard-size EPS pellet sizes, but we can also accept custom EPS pellet sizes.

Can I customize the length of EPS pellets?

Yes, the machine supports different EPS pellet lengths.

Should I clean the waste EPS packaging products before the crusher?

No, the machine comes with a strainer to filter out the dirt during the melting process.

Why is the color of EPS plastic pellets different after the EPS pelletizing machine?

It depends on the quality of the waste EPS product. Cleaner waste EPS can produce better-quality EPS pellets.

Can I put EPS pellets directly into the bag after the pelletizer?

Yes, EPS pellets can be packed directly.
