For EPE foam recycling， Shuliy, as a leading supplier of plastic foam recycling machines, provides advanced solutions to help Bulgarian companies efficiently recycle foam waste while creating economic value.
Introduction: The Urgent Need for EPE Foam Recycling in Bulgaria
With the rapid growth of e-commerce, packaging, and construction industries in Bulgaria, the use of EPE foam materials has soared in recent years. However, this has also led to a sharp increase in EPE foam waste, creating environmental challenges that cannot be ignored. As Bulgaria aligns with EU environmental regulations, EPE foam recycling has become an essential step toward a greener future.
Project Overview: Complete EPE Foam Pelletizing Line for Bulgaria
Recently, Shuliy provided a Bulgarian client with a complete plastic foam pelletizing line, including a plastic pelletizer, a cooling tank, and a pellet cutting machine, designed for efficient EPE foam recycling. This solution enables the client to produce high-quality pellets suitable for reuse in packaging, cushioning materials, and other applications.
The solution included Shuliy’s SL-160 plastic foam granulators, designed for medium-scale operations. The production line consists of several integrated components:
EPE Styrofoam Pelletizing Machine
The plastic foam extruder is used to melt and extrude small pieces of crushed plastic foam into long strips.
Cooling Tank
The cooling tank is used to cool down the high-temperature plastic strips to make them harden for cutting easily.
Pellet Cutting Machine
The plastic granule cutter is used to cut long strips of cooled and hardened plastic into uniformly sized plastic pellets.
This configuration ensures the client can recycle up to 200 kg/h of EPE foam waste, turning it into high-quality pellets suitable for reuse in protective packaging, insulation boards, and more.
Equipment Overview: SL-160 EPE Foam Granulator
To meet the client’s needs, Shuliy supplied the SL-160 styrofoam recycling machine, a robust model with reliable performance for medium-scale production. Key specifications include:
| Parameter | Value |
| Machine size | 3400*2100*1600 mm |
| Inlet size | 780*780 mm |
| Power | 30 kW |
| Capacity | 150-200 kg/h |
| Heating method | Heating ring |
Bulgarian Customer Feedback on Shuliy’s Pelletizing Line
The Bulgarian client praised the SL-160 expanded polystyrene recycling machine for its stability and output quality.
“We are impressed by the performance of the SL-160 machine. Its capacity perfectly matches our needs, and the pellet quality meets our customers’ requirements. We appreciate Shuliy’s technical support during installation.”
Delivery, Installation, and After-Sales Support
The SL-160 expanded polystyrene recycling machine was shipped from Shuliy’s factory. All components were carefully packaged to prevent damage during transit.
Our engineers provided comprehensive remote installation guidance, helping the client’s team complete assembly and start trial production quickly. We also offered training on operation and maintenance, ensuring long-term reliability.
EPE Foam Recycling Machine Dedicated Design for EPE Foam Recycling
Shuliy’s EPE pelletizing machine is a specialized solution designed specifically for processing expanded polyethylene (EPE) waste efficiently. Unlike general-purpose plastic recycling equipment, this EPE foam pelletizing machine is engineered with features that perfectly match the lightweight, bulky, and compressible nature of EPE foam.
Why Dedicated EPE Design Matters in EPE Foam Recycling
- EPE foam’s bulky, lightweight structure can cause clogging in standard plastic foam pellet machines. A dedicated EPE design ensures smooth, continuous feeding without blockages, enabling high-capacity, stable production.
- EPE requires a specific melting point for effective extrusion and pellet formation. The EPE foam pelletizing machine features intelligent heating rings and temperature sensors that maintain the optimal processing range, preventing material degradation.
- Because of EPE’s low density, the machine doesn’t require excessive force. Shuliy’s EPE recycling pelletizer is engineered to provide just the right torque and speed, reducing energy consumption while delivering reliable output.
Environmental and Business Value of EPE Foam Recycling
By implementing a foam pelletizing line, Bulgarian enterprises gain both ecological and economic advantages:
- Minimizes landfill use — EPE foam waste is transformed into pellets, reducing landfill dependency
- Supports EU compliance — Meets targets for plastic waste recycling rates
- Lowers raw material costs — Recycled pellets can replace virgin materials in many applications
- Enhances brand reputation — Demonstrates corporate responsibility and sustainability commitment
