Why Choose Our EPS Foam Cold Press?

Versatile Material Processing

Handles various foam types like EPS, EPE, EPP, XPS, PUR including boxes, boards, trays, and cups for diverse applications.

High Compression Ratio

Compresses foam at ratios from 30:1 up to 50:1+, significantly reducing volume (to 150-250 kg/m³) and lowering transport/storage costs.

Cold Press Technology

No heat, chemical additives, or odors. Mechanical compression preserves material properties for easier recycling.

Automatic & Efficient

PLC-based automatic control for stable, consistent performance with minimal manual intervention and enhanced operator safety.

Compact & Integrated

Integrates shredding, compressing, and hydraulic systems, saving space and reducing energy consumption.

Durable & High Throughput

Robust construction with powerful motors (e.g., CP250 processes 80-150 kg/hr) for demanding environments.

Operational Workflow

1

Material Feeding

Foam waste (EPS, EPE, etc.) is fed into the machine’s input hopper for processing.

2

Shredding/Crushing

Integrated shredding blades break down bulky foam into smaller, manageable pieces.

3

Screw Compression

A powerful screw mechanism conveys and compresses the shredded foam, increasing its density.

4

Block Formation

Densified foam is extruded through a forming die, creating compact blocks or ingots.

5

Output & Collection

Compressed foam blocks are discharged for easy handling, storage, and transport for recycling.

Core Components & Their Roles

Shredding System

Equipped with robust blades to pre-crush and break down large foam pieces into smaller fragments for efficient compression.

Screw Compressing Mechanism

A high-torque screw conveys and powerfully compresses the shredded foam, expelling air and significantly increasing material density.

Hydraulic System

Provides controlled pressure for consistent block formation and output density, ensuring uniform compressed blocks (on applicable models).

PLC Control System

Offers automated operation, parameter adjustment, and system monitoring for stable, efficient, and user-friendly performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of foam can this machine process?
The machine is designed for EPS (Expanded Polystyrene) and can also effectively process similar foam materials like EPE (Expanded Polyethylene), EPP (Expanded Polypropylene), XPS (Extruded Polystyrene), and PUR (Polyurethane) foam waste.
What is the compression ratio?
It achieves high compression ratios, typically from 30:1 up to 50:1 or even higher, depending on the foam type and machine model. This drastically reduces foam volume to densities around 150-250 kg/m³.
Does it use heat or chemicals?
No, this is a cold press machine. It uses mechanical pressure via a screw mechanism to compress foam without heat or chemical additives, preserving material integrity and avoiding odors.
What are the main advantages over other methods?
Key advantages include significant volume reduction for cost-effective logistics, no heat or chemical additives preserving material properties, environmentally friendly recycling, energy-saving operation, and easy maintenance.
Is it easy to operate and maintain?
Yes, many models feature PLC automatic control for user-friendly operation. Maintenance is generally straightforward, involving regular checks, cleaning, and lubrication as per the manufacturer’s manual.
What happens to the compressed foam blocks?
The dense foam blocks are easier to store and transport. They can be sold to recyclers or used as raw material to manufacture new products like picture frames, construction moldings, insulation boards, and other plastic items.
