EPS Recycling
Equipment
The most
common method of recycling expanded polystyrene packaging is through
a regrind process. Due to supply and ease of processing, packaging
manufacturers normally incorporate recycled content into their
products by blending in used expanded particles from products they
take in and grind down to the bead level.
AFPR equipment
supplier member companies offer a range of EPS recycling equipment.

Alessio's equipment range includes different lines of
products to process expanded polystyrene and polypropylene and meets
all plant demands: pre-expansion, thermoforming, coupling with
similar materials and not. All these steps are carried out at
different automation levels according to the transformer specific
demands
The Eco 100 is a unique machine in the fact that it
uses 100% recycled material of any kind, no need to clean or de dust
first. Vegetable/fruit boxes, seedling trays, packaging, scrap from
block, everything can be used. This patented machine produces
finished pieces with extremely low production costs. No new raw
material is needed, it consumes very little steam, vacuum, air
energy. And it has a very fast cycle time, less than 60
seconds.
The finished product has fantastic mechanical
strengths and with a very high resistance and is ideal for the
construction industry. ECO-100 gives you maximum profit from minimum
production costs. Also small pieces of plastic, film, polyethylene,
or polyurethane do not need to be removed before
using.

Bright Technologies, specialty equipment div. of
Sebright Products, Inc. has developed a line of EPS Densifiers for
volumes from 100 lbs. per hour to 1200 lbs. per hour, producing
truckloads of 40,000 lbs. for optimum efficiency. Our equipment is
designed, manufactured, installed, and serviced factory direct right
here in the United States. The original EPS Densifier, placed in
1995, is still in use today.
Complete design services specific to your site when
needed and ancillary systems from pre-breakers to bag houses with
full integration with your existing systems are all available.
No heat is used to reduce pentane gas dangers, just
190,000 lbs. of pressure applied until all air has been removed and
there is no remaining memory. This creates a solid block of PS with
densities of 17 to 22 lbs. per cubic foot and it doesn’t matter
whether you start with EPS dust or small chunks of EPS.
To increase recycling of EPS in the United States,
there are numerous programs utilized to place equipment wherever
volume permits and the foam can be sold to manufacturers using the
densified EPS Foam in products like composite or plastic lumber used
for longer lasting, weather resistant outdoor decks or fencing,
drain field aggregate substitute or drainage tile blankets used for
increased drainage under roads and highways, and it is even used for
hard jewel cases for CDs and DVDs.
This extremely resilient building and packing
material does not need to end up in your local landfill after its
original use. Bright Technologies EPS Densification equipment is the
most reliable long term investment in EPS recycling you can make.

Recycling Plants start with a pre-crusher that will break down EPS
or EPP to approximately 30 x 30 mm, which can then be introduced
manually or by conveyor belt system. The recycled material is fed by
a blower to a de-dusting cyclone plant that separates the fine dust
particles (typically less than 1%) from the recyclable material. The
clean recycled material is then fed by a blower to silo bags for
storage. The equipment is available in different sizes and a noise
dampening system is also offered. Erlenbach presses typically see an
average of 20% recycled material introduced into packaging. Block
molds are capable of 100% recycled material.
The new STYROCYCLER™
is the first densifier of its class to be offered in 110v single
phase household current. It is ideal for electronic,
appliance, home goods, furniture, and any retail/wholesale
application that has EPS "Styrofoam" waste taking up valuable
dumpster volume space.

One of
the Fine Grind Units
Foam Equipment &
Consulting offer the modular HERGER� line of grinding and compacting
equipment which can be mixed or matched to build custom systems. See
below for details.
Coarse/Fine Grinding System and dedusting
systems grind the EPS to a particular size and usable quality. It
can be used for shape, block and bean bag manufacturers. Large
Compactor produces 400+ pounds/hour of compacted EPS in log form.
Made for recycling centers and large volume needs, it allows for
economical shipping to processing plants. Small Compactor is the
same as large but produces only 100 pounds/hour of compacted EPS in
log form. Reduces volume of waste if sent to landfill. Coarse
Grinding System breaks EPS into small pieces roughly 2-3�, which can
then be bagged for efficient shipping or storage. Best for small
waste generator looking to reduce volume.

The
JUMBO recycling system by KBM
KBM
manufactures recycling systems that enable the EPS and EPP industry
reuse as much as possible in their production. KBM offers a wide
range of recycling systems that can manage 140 � 1400 cubic feet per
hour of recycled EPS. They also offer a unique granulation process
which brings the material down to the individual bead with a minimum
of dust. This optimizes the reuse of EPS products and with
STYROMIX/STYROMETER it is possible to accurately control the
mixing/metering to reuse even more.
For non-EPS-manufacturing locations KBM offers the
Styropactor compactors. KBM Styropactor will accept wet or dry
material and can also be used as a crusher. Because it is
non-corrosive it can be used in extreme environments and can take
contaminated material such as EPS seafood packaging. Since it is
filled vertically, Styropactor can accept pieces of any length. And,
because they are �mobile� they can be used in any fish processing
industry, supermarket, department store, etc. The volume is highly
reduced resulting in minimized handling and transportation costs.
Available in two sizes, Styropactor Mini has a capacity of
approximately 77- 100 pounds per hour and the Styropactor Maxi has a
capacity of 70-90 kg per hour.
