Introduction of EPE Styrofoam Pelletizing Machine
EPE Styrofoam Pelletizing Machine, also known as plastic foam granulators, can produce plastic pellets without destroying the original molecular structure. The pellets produced are widely used.
EPE granulator is suitable for the extrusion and granulation of EPE foam raw materials, which can be used for the regeneration of EPE foam. Shuliy plastic foam granulator adopts an exhaust structure to exclude the gas produced in the plasticizing process, which makes the granules dense and smooth surface. The production operation is very simple and the investment cost is very low, but the economic benefit is high.
Main Parts of Styrofoam Recycling Machine
Feeding Conveyor
The feed inlet adopts a large-diameter direct-entry design, which is suitable for direct feeding of soft EPE materials without pre-crushing, with high feeding efficiency and convenient operation.
Heating Ring
The heating ring is to melt the foam and convert it into a paste so that it can smoothly pass through the die head.
Die Head
The die head extrudes the molten foam through its internal holes into stripes for subsequent cutting.

EPE Foam Granulating Line Process
When the EPE styrofoam pelletizing machine is working, the waste EPE foam is first put into the machine from the feeding port, and then crushed into small pieces by the crushing unit.
Then it enters the core part of the pelletizing machine, and the heating unit heats the broken pieces to the molten state.
Subsequently with the paste into the screw area in the EPE styrofoam pelletizing machine, the screw is pushed it to the die to be extruded into a long strip;
The long strip of material into the cooling tank quickly cooled and cured; finally, by the pelletizer, it was precision-cut into small particles for easy storage and transportation.
Operation methods of EPE Styrofoam Pelletizing Machine
- There are two heating circles on the upper and lower screw of the EPE styrofoam pelletizing machine, and each heating circle has a switch, which can be opened and closed at will according to the temperature needed for processing.
- When the foam granulator is working, first heat the upper and lower barrels for 20-40 minutes, then take a piece of foam on the machine head and press it lightly, if the foam can become soft and melt, it means that the barrel heating has reached the working temperature, and the machine can be turned on.
- Add a small amount of foam to the hopper first. If the extruded material has melted, only then can a large amount of material start working. If the temperature is found to be too high during the work, you can cut off the head heating power and continue to work.
- In the plastic foam granulator work, the lower screw head can add a layer or two layers of filters as needed. A strainer should have more than one when working; if the strip is not smooth, it means that the strainer is clogged, so replace the strainer in time. The steel filter screen can be recycled by removing impurities after burning with fire.
EPE Foam Granulator Line Solution
The EPE styrofoam pelletizing machine can be combined with auxiliary equipment such as crushers, dryers, and extruders to form a complete production line–EPS Foam Granulating Line.
Plastic Foam Crusher
Crush the waste EPE foam into small pieces for subsequent cleaning, melting, and other processing.
Plastic Pellet Cutting Machine
cuts the cooled EPE strips into pellets of a specified size to form preliminary finished products.
Cooling Tank
to cool and solidify the extruded EPE melt strip quickly, to prepare for the pelletizing process.
Plastic Granule Storage Bin
temporary storage of qualified pellets after drying and screening, which is convenient for subsequent measurement, packaging, and unified storage.

Suriname Installs Two Styrofoam Recycling Machines
Two Styrofoam recycling machines have been successfully installed in Suriname for recycling foam packing materials. Thanks to the availability of models and components in stock, the machines were shipped within 25 days of the order placement. Prior to shipment, engineers conducted thorough testing and inspection to ensure their smooth operation.
The installed machines include the SL-160 EPE recycling machine and the SL-220 EPS pelletizer, which are designed to process styrofoam and expanded polyethylene packing materials. They are applicable for both post-industrial and post-consumer recycling. The core configuration equipment comprises a cooling tank, a pellet cutting machine, and a styrofoam shredder. This installation highlights efficient delivery and professional pre-shipment preparation to facilitate foam recycling in Suriname.
