As we all know, the white foam we often use is PS（Polystyrene）or PE（Polyethylene）. Do you know what the black foam is? EPP (Expanded Polypropylene) is a foam form of polypropylene. Polypropylene (PP), also known as polypropene, is a thermoplastic polymer, which is widely applied in packaging, labeling, stationery, laboratory equipment, automotive components and so on. With the continuous development of foam densifier technology, foam densifier is often used in the recycling of PS or PE. Similarly, this kind of foam recycling machine is also suitable for EPP foam.
In fact, EPP materials have great market potential. the household appliances are sold very well as there are so many people in the U.S. because almost every family will buy household appliances and they will change a new one after several years. Meanwhile, the EPP is a packaging material for household appliances. So EPP is widely used and large scale used every day. In the past, the EPP material’s recycling condition is bad but now the condition is changed with the design of foam densifier.
Consistent with other foam materials, foam densifier has four simple steps for EPP treatment, including feeding, crushing, hot melting and discharging. Once the machine is turned on, EPP foam is rapidly processed in the efficient operation of foam densifier and is hot melted into small ingots with a high compression ratio.
As a leader in the recycling industry in North America, GREENMAX recycling has made great progress in the innovation and improvement of foam densifier and has never stopped its own pace of change. GREENMAX is the best partner to help you deal with EPP foam in terms of reputation and technology.
