The foam crushing machine is used to process plastic foam like EPE and EPS. EPS also can be called polystyrene and styrofoam. The styrofoam shredder can crush the waste plastic foam into small pieces. It is the first main machine in the foam recycling line. The shredder can process 250-500 kg per hour.

Advantages of the Styrofoam Crusher

Convenient Manual Feeding: The feed opening of the horizontal styrofoam crusher is designed to be flush with the ground, allowing the operator to directly feed the material into the foam crushing machine without the need for a conveyor belt, which greatly facilitates manual feeding.

Efficient Crushing: Horizontal design combined with powerful blades enables fast and efficient crushing of bulky foams, especially suitable for processing EPS (Expandable Polystyrene) and EPE (Expandable Polyethylene) foams.

Easily adapted to subsequent processes: The pulverized material can be fed directly into a granulator or used in conjunction with a hot-melt densifier, making the entire recycling process more efficient and continuous.

Simple Maintenance: The simple structural design of the Horizontal styrofoam shredding machine makes it easy to clean and maintain, effectively reducing equipment downtime and improving production efficiency.

It is because of the wide range of uses of foam products that recycling EPS foam products have a high commercial value. In Efficient machinery, there are various EPS foam shredders for sale. So, welcome to contact us.

What is the Working Principle of a Foam Crushing Machine?

The EPS foam shredder has multiple sharp blades inside. When the machine is running, the high-speed rotating blades can quickly cut a variety of plastic foam products. Because the blades are made of durable steel. Therefore, it has the characteristics of sturdiness and durability. In addition, the EPS foam crusher is equipped with a double dust removal system. So this can make the crushed material clean.
