Polyethylene (PE) or polyethylene is the most common plastic. The annual global production is around 80 million tons. Its primary use is in packaging (plastic bags, plastic films, geomembranes, containers including bottles, etc.).

Expanded polyethylene (EPE) can often be made from polyethylene. EPE is a closed-cell, non-crosslinked polyethylene foam composed of LDPE (low-density polyethylene) resins. Due to its excellent thermal insulating qualities and water resistance, EPE foam finds extensive use in packaging. It is produced via an extrusion technique and is often offered in a variety of shapes and sizes, including sheets, rolls, pipes, rods, L, C, and U sections, each of which has a specific set of applications. The most common forms of utilization are rolls and sheets.

EPE is a recyclable material, and many companies today can offer Polyethylene foam recycling solutions. The method of EPE recycling is relatively simple. In fact, hot melting is the easiest first step to recycle EPE. The recycled EPE can be used to granulate PE pellets.

The hot melt machine can be used to achieve melted EPE, and GREENMAX from INTCO, which has a decent reputation, currently offers the hot melt machine at a reasonable cost. A device that is capable of processing a variety of foam materials is the GRRENMAX foam densifier. The EPE material can be perfectly melted by it. Its technology of screw crushing can break the EPE material into fragments. Its hot melt technology can then be used to melt these EPE bits into ingots.

This melting approach has several advantages, such as reducing the volume, easy to transport, reduce transportation costs and so on. And the configuration and service of GREENMAX foam densifier is very good. When the foam densifier is shipped to the guests, there will be a dedicated engineer alongside to help text the operation. As long as the operation is proper, the hot melted EPE ingots will be of good quality.

If you also want to participate in the recycling of this recyclable EPE, GREENMAX foam densifier will be a very good choice.
