How It Works: From Foam Waste to Reusable Material

Our EPS Foam Cold Press Machine streamlines the recycling process through a straightforward and effective mechanism, converting bulky foam waste into dense, manageable blocks.

1

Feeding

Operators easily load various foam materials (EPS, EPE, EPP) into the machine’s optimally designed feeding hopper.

2

Shredding

Powerful internal blades break down large pieces of foam into smaller, more manageable fragments.

3

Cold Pressing

A robust screw mechanism compacts the shredded foam under high pressure without applying heat.

4

Output

Dense, uniform EPS blocks are extruded, and ready for efficient storage, transportation, or further recycling processes.

Detailed Features & Technical Specifications

Key Features Explained

1. Versatile Material Handling

The EPS Foam Cold Press Machine can process different types of foam materials, including foam boxes, foam boards, and other foam waste products. This versatility makes it ideal for large-scale recycling operations, where diverse types of waste foam need to be processed efficiently.

2. High Compression Ratio

One of the standout features of this machine is its high compression ratio. It can compress EPS foam to a ratio of 1:30 to 1:50, reducing the volume of foam significantly. The end product, EPS foam blocks, can achieve a density range of 150-250 kg/m³. This high compression ratio makes the transportation and storage of foam materials much more efficient and cost-effective.

3. Optimal Feeding Height for Safety and Convenience

The design of the EPS foam cold press machine includes an optimal feeding height that allows for easy and safe loading of foam materials. This thoughtful design ensures operators can work efficiently without strain, minimizing potential safety risks during operation.

4. Automatic Control System

The machine uses a PLC-based automatic control system, ensuring stable and consistent performance. With a well-integrated electrical circuit system, it offers reliable operation with minimal downtime. This automatic control system also reduces the need for manual intervention, making the process more efficient and reducing human error.

5. Energy and Space Efficiency

The EPS foam cold press machine is built to save both energy and space. By integrating all key components, including the shredder, compressor, and hydraulic system into a single machine, operational costs, and space usage are minimized. This compact design is especially beneficial for facilities with limited space.

6. Enhanced Durability and Performance

The CF-CP250 model is specifically designed for high-demand environments, such as large recycling companies or large-scale supermarket chains. It is equipped with two 3kW motors for shredding and a 7.5kW screw motor. The robust design ensures the machine can handle high volumes of foam waste, with an output of 80-120 kg per hour, making it perfect for large operations.

7. Easy Transportation and Handling

After compression, the EPS foam blocks become easier to transport and handle. These blocks are often shaped to a standard size, such as 250mm x 250mm, allowing for easier storage and processing. This reduces the logistical challenges associated with transporting loose foam materials.
