The Challenge of EPS Foam Waste
EPS (Styrofoam) is 98% air, making it a logistical and financial nightmare to manage. Our system is the definitive solution.
Problem: Sky-High Costs
Bulky, lightweight foam fills up dumpsters and trucks instantly, leading to exorbitant storage, handling, and disposal costs.
Solution: From Air to Asset
Our line crushes, melts, and reforms the foam into dense pellets, reducing its volume by 90% and turning a costly liability into a valuable asset.
Problem: Environmental Burden
EPS foam is a major contributor to landfill waste and environmental pollution, harming your brand's image and sustainability goals.
The 4-Stage EPS Pelletizing Process
A complete, automated system that transforms bulky foam blocks into uniform, high-quality plastic pellets.
1. Crushing
Large EPS blocks and boxes are fed into a crusher, which breaks them down into small, uniform flakes for easy processing.
2. Melting & Extrusion
The flakes are fed into a specialized extruder. A heated screw melts the plastic and removes the air, forming a continuous stream of molten polymer.
3. Filtration & Cooling
The molten plastic is pushed through a screen changer to remove impurities, then extruded as "spaghetti" strands into a water cooling bath.
4. Pelletizing
The cooled, solid strands are pulled into a pelletizer, where a high-speed cutting rotor instantly chops them into small, uniform pellets.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is pelletizing better than just compacting the foam?
Compacting (densifying) only reduces the volume. Pelletizing is a complete recycling process that melts, purifies, and reforms the plastic into a uniform, high-density raw material. Pellets are far more valuable and easier for manufacturers to use in their production lines than simple compacted blocks.
Can this line handle wet or dirty EPS foam?
The system works best with relatively clean and dry material. The melting process will burn off small amounts of moisture. However, for heavily contaminated EPS (e.g., fish boxes), an additional washing and drying step is recommended before pelletizing to ensure the highest quality final product.
What is the return on investment for this machine?
The ROI is typically very fast. It is calculated based on two main factors: 1) The significant savings on your current foam waste disposal and transport costs, and 2) The new revenue generated from selling the valuable recycled EPS pellets. Most businesses see a return in under 18-24 months.
