GREENMAX provides customers with customized Styrofoam densifier services

Styrofoam waste varies from one business to another. Warehouses usually handle large packaging blocks in batches, while foam manufacturers generate smaller offcuts throughout the day. Recycling centers may receive EPS, EPE and other foam materials from several sources.

These differences affect how the material should be fed, crushed and melted. GREENMAX therefore configures each foam densifier around the customer’s actual material, volume and working conditions.

Choose Foam Densifier according to Waste Foam

A warehouse with moderate volumes of clean EPS may only need a foam densifier M-C50. It processes approximately 50 kg per hour and can reduce EPS volume by up to 90:1, making it suitable for sites with limited floor space.

Manufacturers producing foam offcuts continuously may need a larger machine with conveyor feeding, a wider hopper or a storage silo. Recyclers handling both EPS and EPE may require changes to the crushing system and operating settings.

Before recommending a machine, GREENMAX considers the foam type, density, piece size, processing volume, available space and power supply. Material testing can also be arranged when the foam is unusual or several materials need to be processed together. Customization may involve the hopper, crusher, silo, feeding system or equipment layout. The purpose is to make the machine fit the customer’s workflow without adding unnecessary features.

GREENMAX Customized Foam Densifier for Oregon Recycling Program

A nonprofit recycling organization in Oregon needed to process EPS and EPE collected from several drop-off points. Transporting loose foam between these locations was expensive and inefficient, so a standard machine at one processing site would not fully solve the problem.

GREENMAX developed a customized foam densifier M-C300 with separate crushing and feeding chambers. The system could switch between EPS and EPE as the incoming material changed. An independent crushing unit was also designed for vehicle-mounted use. This allowed foam to be crushed closer to certain collection points before being transported for central densification.

Making Densified Foam Easier to Recycle

GREENMAX Styrofoam densifier turns loose foam into dense ingots that are easier to stack, store and transport. The ingots can be granulated and reused in products such as picture frames and decorative molding. INTCO Recycling may also purchase qualified material according to its cleanliness, density, quantity and current recycling requirements.

By considering the waste source, site conditions and downstream outlet together, GREENMAX can provide a Styrofoam densifier solution that matches the way each customer actually operates.
