As we all know, foam is widely used for packaging because of its lightweight, heat preservation effect, low price. However, it is also a controversial material. Thirty years ago, it was put forward to prohibit the use in many countries, because the cost of polyethylene recycling is high, and finally it is often discarded and cause serious pollution.
In addition to EPS/Styrofoam, the polyethylene foam is the second most controversial material. It is commonly seen used in the packaging of various precision electronic products or the outer packaging of fruits. Compared with EPS foam, it is more difficult to recycle.
Due to the high elasticity of polyethylene foam, it cannot be compressed tightly if only depend on physical compression, resulting in loose and unformed foam scraps. GREENMAX, as a foam recycling specialist, has designed polyethylene foam densifier including ZEUS series and MARS E series.
The difference between the enhanced polyethylene foam compactor and the ordinary compactor is that after the foam is compressed, a heating ring is added during the screw extrusion process to heat and solidify the surface of the foam, so that the polyethylene foam will not pop up.
If you prefer simple operation, then MARS E series polyethylene foam densifier is a better choice. Its characteristic lies in the lengthening of the screw part of the machine to increase the friction of the discharge, making the hot melting more thorough. This machine is easier to operate and more efficient.
Many people will have such misunderstandings that the hot melting foam densifier will emit an unpleasant odor during the heating process, causing secondary pollution, which not only affects the plant environment, but also harmful to the operating workers.
This view is wrong. The GREENMAX PE foam densifier has been professionally tested in Europe and the United States. The heating process is non-toxic and harmless to the human body. Customers who need to recycle can use it with safety and satisfaction.
