Raw materials of plastic foam granulator

  • Packaging material: EPE foam is widely used in packaging, especially for fragile items such as electronic products, glass products, ceramics, etc.
  • Insulating material: Due to its insulating properties, EPE foam can be used in construction and engineering, as an insulating material for roofs, walls and other parts.
  • Packaging filler: Used as parcel and filler material to fill boxes, and parcel items and protect goods from damage in transportation.

EPE granulator machine working principle

Crushing: Once the foam enters the EPE granulator machine, it first passes through a crushing system. This step is designed to break large pieces of foam material into smaller chunks for subsequent processing.

Heating and melting: The crushed foam blocks are passed through a heating system that melts them into a fluid state. This step helps to change the physical properties of the foam material, making it easier to process.

Extrusion: The partially melted foam material is fed into the extrusion system and finally extruded in strips by the die.

Cooling: The plastic strip passes through a cooling tank to reduce its temperature, ensuring stability and curing of the plastic.

Cutting: The cooled plastic strip passes through a pelletizer, where it is cut into the desired length of pellets.
