Foam recycling is a question we often mention is how to choose a foam recycling machine. There are so many recycling machines in the recycling machinery market that many people who want to carry out foam recycling projects do not know how to choose. In fact, how to choose a suitable foam recycling machine is related to many factors, such as waste foam type, source, density, size, composition, etc. Even the specific geographical location of your factory is related to the country. Let us talk about some recent changes in the field of foam recycling in the United States today.
In the past, foam melter was the most popular foam recycling machine in the United States. Because of its high compression ratio, foam melter is particularly popular with Americans. The biggest feature of this machine is that it is very simple to operate. After turning on the switch of the machine, only a few other very simple steps are needed to operate the foam melter well. From the perspective of selling waste EPS, because the compression is more dense, this kind of ingots saves more transportation space and freight.
As far as the recent situation is concerned, the United States seems to be more and more inclined to use cold pressing technology to recycle foam, especially polystyrene foam. A typical foam recycling machine that uses cold pressing technology to work is foam compactor. GREENMAX has also interviewed leaders of some related industries in the United States. They have speculated on this situation and expressed their views. In the end, we believe that there may be several main reasons for this change: Foam compactor does not need to be heated during use, which is more energy-saving: foam compactor does not need to melt the plastic, so it will not produce odor during use. This is also an important reason. Some factories built near schools and food processing factories said that in these special geographical environments, it is more appropriate to use foam compactor; some countries have stricter control over foam recycling machines, and think that foam compactor is more suitable Environmental standards.
The above is the recent use and changing trend of foam melter and foam compactor in the United States. If you have any latest information that you want to share with GREENMAX, please feel free to contact us!
