What is a Styrofoam volume reduction machine?

An EPS compactor is a machine designed to reduce the volume of expanded polystyrene (EPS), commonly known as Styrofoam, by compressing or melting it. EPS is widely used for packaging materials, food trays, and cushioning for electronics, but its bulky nature creates storage and transportation challenges when disposing of or recycling it.

There are two main types of EPS compactors: thermal melting and compression types. Thermal melting compactors heat and melt EPS into ingots, which are easier to recycle as raw materials. Compression-type compactors mechanically compress EPS into dense blocks, making it easier to handle and store. These machines are commonly used in logistics centers and supermarkets.

By using an EPS compactor, the volume of polystyrene waste can be reduced by over 90%, improving recycling efficiency and reducing environmental impact.

Application of Styrofoam volume reduction machine

✅Recycling Factories for Food Trays and Cups
Supermarkets and food factories dispose of large amounts of EPS trays and cups. By using a compactor, these materials can be compressed and melted for recycling, reducing waste and promoting resource efficiency.
✅Packaging Waste Processing in Warehouses & Logistics Centers
Large appliances like TVs and refrigerators use EPS for packaging protection. Logistics centers use compactors to reduce the volume of EPS waste, making storage and transportation more efficient before sending it to recycling companies.
✅Use in Supermarkets & Retail Stores
Supermarkets receive a large number of EPS boxes for transporting fish, vegetables, and other products. By introducing an EPS compactor, they can reduce waste disposal costs and improve recycling efficiency.
✅EPS Waste Management in Construction Sites
In the construction industry, EPS is widely used as insulation material. After installation, leftover materials and waste can be compressed using a compactor, reducing disposal costs and enabling potential reuse.
