Plastic foam crushers offer the potential to produce a variety of products from recycled foam. The flexibility of this shredder allows for the development of new reuse methods. The Shuliy EPS foam crushing machine tears bulk-expanded polystyrene and many other foams into smaller pieces. These foams come out through a screen before being collected. We offer different screen components. The screen inserts you choose determine the size of foam that can leave the foam shredder machine and continue to be collected.
Introduction of Plastic Foam Crusher
Una trituradora de espuma plástica o una máquina trituradora de espuma EPS es una máquina de reciclaje que convierte bloques de espuma EPS EPE en pedazos triturados para su posterior reciclaje, como la peletización por extrusión. La máquina también reduce el volumen de la espuma para facilitar su transporte.
Shuliy también ofrece una gama de Máquinas trituradoras de espuma EPS para el reciclaje de diversos materiales de desecho. Nuestros productos incluyen trituradoras de un solo eje, trituradoras de dos ejes y trituradoras de cuatro ejes. Son máquinas ideales para triturar botellas de plástico, cintas de plástico, bidones de plástico y diversos productos de plástico. Podemos personalizar la máquina trituradora de espuma según los requisitos del cliente.
Working Principle of Plastic Foam Crusher
The working principle of the plastic foam crusher is to shear, tear, and extrude the foam material through the high-speed rotating blade or roller to crush the large pieces of EPS, EPE, EPP, and other foams into small particles or fragments, to facilitate the subsequent compression, granulation, or recycling process.
- Feeding: The operator puts large pieces of foam into the machine through the inlet.
- Pre-compression: Foam is fed into the crushing chamber by gravity or screw propeller.
- Crushing: Multiple sets of blades mounted on the spindle rotate at high speeds to quickly cut and tear the foam.
- Screen to control the discharge size: The crushed foam particles are discharged through a screen with an adjustable aperture to control the final discharge size.
Core Structure and Detailed Design of Styrofoam Shredder
The core structure of the plastic foam crusher includes a reinforced steel frame, a high-torque motor, a rotor system that drives the knife and stator knife, and a replaceable screen unit. These components work together to efficiently crush bulky foam into uniform particles.
High-speed rotary blades
- The tool material is spring steel, high hardness, good wear resistance, and long life.
- The tool supports disassembly and multiple grinding, easy maintenance, and low cost.
Industrial Control Panels
- The equipment is equipped with a special control box containing digital display instruments, independent control buttons, and an emergency stop system.
- Real-time monitoring of motor status, current and voltage, and running load.
Adjustable screen device
- Use: Control the particle size of foam discharge
- Common aperture: 10 mm- 50 mm (can be customized)
- Material: stainless steel or wear-resistant steel

Optional Configuration of Styrofoam Crusher
| Mahcines | Functions |
| Máquina compactadora de espuma | Styrofoam compactors compress bulky foam waste (e.g., EPS, EPE) into high-density blocks to reduce volume for storage, transportation, or subsequent recycling. |
| Extrusora de espuma plástica | Plastic granulator is used to process waste plastics into reusable plastic pellets for re-production through melting, filtering, drawing, and other processes. |
| Tanque de enfriamiento | Cooling tanks are used to rapidly cool the extruded plastic strips during the plastic pelletizing process to ensure that they are hardened and molded for easy pelletizing. |
| Cortador de gránulos de plástico | A plastic pellet cutter is used to cut cooled plastic strips into uniform granules for subsequent storage, transportation, and reprocessing. |
Raw material of EPS Foam Crushing Machine
La máquina trituradora de espuma Shuliy EPS puede triturar EPS, EPE, espuma de polietileno, espuma de poliuretano, espuma viscoelástica y la mayoría de los tipos de espuma en trozos más pequeños. Y no es necesario compactar la espuma como otras trituradoras. La trituradora está diseñada para espuma, por lo que puede funcionar de forma continua sin los problemas que surgen con otros métodos.
