EPS holds alot of air. This is a problem for stockable and transportation costs. On account of these problems Strautmann has designed a compact Briquetting Presses – the CutCompact®.

A reduction  volume of  up to 98% (Density up to 700 kg/cbm) enables a fully truck and container load. The Bricketts can be marketed without transport problems on a regional level or worldwide.

The Shredder has a througput up to 100 kg/h. The wide filling opening (approx. 120 x 120 cm) enables the input of big EPS shapes who will be shreddered by the six shredding shafts. Conveying screws are move the shredderes EPS the the expandable buffer. The press chamber compacts the Material with up to 30 kg/h to very dense briquettes by a pressing force of 250 kN.

The density of the briquettes enables a 100% truck and container load!

 

Styrofoam Densifiers with Silo System

Expanded Polystyrene (also called Styrofoam) Recycling is not difficult at all. There are several Styrofoam densifier suppliers from Europe, USA and China that can help you reduce your polystyrene waste disposal costs drastically. Available densifiers with capacities from 15 cubic feet of un-densified polystyrene per hour up to 600 cubic feet per hour.

Polystyrene, Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) or Styrofoam is 98% air and 2% air. How much are you paying to transport it to landfill? If you are spending more than USD50 a week disposing of Styrofoam waste then it will pay you to have a Styrofoam densifier. If you are loading up a van and taking your Styrofoam to landfill think what else you could do with your time! It quickly fills skips and bins taking up large amounts of space but weighing almost nothing: pushing up waste disposal costs. Just think: you are paying your waste contractor to transport 98% air to landfill.

It is a huge problem for organisations in the food industry (hotels, restaurants, fast food), or buyers of supplies packaged in polystyrene (fisheries, hospitals, electronics industry, cruise companies, white goods suppliers). And yet polystyrene has a high price as a recycled product: anywhere between USD200 and USD400 a tonne when compacted. Many recyclers, traders, and Polywood product producers will buy your compacted polystyrene.

The smallest machine which compacts 15 cubic feet of Styrofoam per hour, up to 50:1 compaction, 95% reduction in volume. Density 25 lb per cubic foot once compacted. Huge reduction in waste disposal costs. Easily loaded by hand or via conveyor for larger installations. Variable block sizes depending on machine.

EPS Silo System For Highest Throughput

Styrofoam Densifier Silo

Styrofoam Densifier with Silo

For people need silo systems to enable higher loading capacities. The oversized pre-crush hopper can be bucket-fed or conveyor fed. The pre-crush unit is connected to a simple air-blown system to fill a silo 300 cubic feet in capacity.

 

The silo can feed one or two compactors to increase the throughput even further.

This is an ideal solution for a recycler collecting Styrofoam from multiple sources or a high volume Styrofoam waste producer who wants minimal operator time.

KBM Styropactor include compactor models of MICRO, MINI or MAXI, These machines are to reduce the volume of used EPS (Styrofoam) boxes and other packagings for easy and cheap handling and transportation.

Styropactor

StyroCrusher crushes EPS and fills it into bags of almost any size.

Also for PE foam and EPP

The KBM Styropactor is now available in 4 sizes to fit most purposes in e.g. a store or in the fish processing industry where EPS (Styrofoam) packagings are used.

The two new small types “Styropactor MICRO 1-phase” and “Styropactor MINI 1-phase” makes the Styropactors even more flexible.

The two new types are equipped with a single-phase motor which makes them ideal for use in almost any location, as you connect them to the normal electrical wall outlet.

They can be used by anyone – in any location – also where only a smaller volume of EPS packagings are available.

The STYROPACTORS reduce the volume of EPS parts approx. 15-30 times WITH WET AND DRY MATERIAL (ALSO FISH BOXES).

The STYROPACTORS are made non-corrosive and can be used in a rough environment.

The STYROPACTORS can also be used as crusher, where the EPS material is filled into bags. To change takes 5 minutes.

The STYROPACTORS can without any changes be used for collection in bags of any size or without bags.

The STYROPACTORS are filled vertically. Consequently pieces of any length can be introduced.

The STYROPACTORS are “mobile” and can be used in any supermarket, department store etc. where styrofoam (EPS) packagings appear.

The STYROPACTORS reduce the transportation costs drastically.
