Plastic Foam Pelletizing Line | EPE Styrofoam Pelletizing Machine

La ligne de granulation de mousse plastique est une solution conçue pour le recyclage et la granulation de mousse plastique. Ces dernières années, la mousse a été largement utilisée dans l’industrie de l’emballage, mais elle est volumineuse et difficile à transporter. Cela a conduit au développement rapide de machines et d’équipements de récupération et de recyclage de mousse. Avec l'adoption continue de nouvelles technologies, la technologie des équipements et l'efficacité de la production des machines de recyclage de polystyrène expansé ont généralement été rapidement améliorées.

Introduction of Plastic Foam Pelletizing Line

The plastic foam pelletizing line efficiently recycles waste foam via compacting, crushing, heating, melting, extrusion, and pelletizing, which features high output, low energy consumption, stable operation, suitable for polystyrene, etc., turning scraps into reusable pellets to boost resource utilization and environmental protection.

Expanded polystyrene pelletizing machine for plastic foam recycling is an integrated industrial system designed to recycle waste plastic foam into reusable plastic pellets. This process transforms low-value, bulky foam waste into high-quality raw materials for new plastic production. The line typically combines mechanical crushing, thermal melting, and pelletizing technologies to achieve efficient material recycling, addressing both environmental pollution and resource scarcity challenges.

Process Flow of Plastic Foam Pelletizing Line

Concassage – mottage – étirage – refroidissement – ​​granulation

The plastic foam pelletizing line is 100% available for recycled foam. EPS EPE foam is compressed and then pelletized, making it the most widely recycled processing method. The foam is compressed or thermally melted by a professional foam compressor, which results in a compressed block. The shredded foam compressed blocks can be used for pelletizing to produce high-quality EPS EPE pellets. It can be applied to the production of new foam products. Now, with the growing popularity of carbon emission reduction, recycling has become the primary method for regenerating EPS.

There are some differences between EPE and EPS pelletizing in the EPE EPS foam granulating line. EPE foam is soft, and the granulator to process this kind of foam usually contains an automatic feeding device. Also, the EPE foam doesn’t need a crusher for pre-processing, so that it can be directly put into the granulator.

EPS foam is usually large size, which means EPS foam needs to be shredded by a crusher and compacted. As a result, this kind of foam can enter the granulator for processing.

Raw Materials and Finished Products of Plastic Foam Pelletizing Line

La ligne de granulation de mousse plastique peut fabriquer des granulés de plastique à partir de déchets de mousse recyclés.

Polyéthylène expansé

Le polyéthylène expansé est une mousse structurelle fabriquée à partir de polymères de polyéthylène. Il est fabriqué en chauffant et en comprimant le polymère de polyéthylène pour former des bulles d'air qui le rendent léger, flexible et doté de propriétés d'isolation acoustique et thermique. Il est principalement utilisé dans les applications d’emballage, de construction et domestiques.

Polystyrène expansé

Le EPS, ou polystyrène expansé, est un matériau léger, rigide et thermocouple fabriqué à partir de petites pastilles de polystyrène. Le PSE est couramment utilisé pour les applications d’isolation, d’emballage et de rembourrage de protection en raison de son faible coût, de sa polyvalence et de ses bonnes propriétés d’isolation.

Pour fabriquer du PSE, de petites particules de polystyrène sont mélangées à un gonfleur, tel que du propane, puis chauffées et moulées en gros blocs. Le gonfleur forme de petites bulles à l’intérieur des granulés, les faisant se dilater et former un organisme. En fonction de l'application souhaitée, le processus d'expansion peut être contrôlé pour produire du PSE de différentes densités et propriétés physiques.

Applications of Recycled Plastic Pellets

Le matériau EPE EPS est largement utilisé dans les domaines suivants en raison de ses propriétés de légèreté, d'élasticité, de résistance à l'humidité, aux chocs et à la corrosion.

• Packaging: It is often used for packaging electronic products, food, cosmetics, industrial, and other items to protect them from damage during transportation.
• Construction : La mousse de polyéthylène est souvent utilisée dans la construction, comme pour les cloisons murales, l'isolation phonique, l'isolation thermique, la protection, etc.
• Furniture: It is commonly used in the manufacture of furniture such as sofas, seats, mattresses, pillows, etc., to provide comfort and good support.
• Sports equipment: It is often used for the dry manufacturing of sports equipment such as diving boards, protective gear, etc.
• Electronics: It is often used to dry-manufacture electronic products, such as cell phone cases, computer bags, photographic equipment, etc.
