Recently, Greenmax machines have a breakthrough in technology as new series of PE foam recycling machines have been produced. But the market condition is that most of people do not know whether waste polyethylene foam could be recycled and reused.

Because this kind of PE foam is different from common EPS foam, it has high elasticity and strong toughness, which is one of the reasons why people mistakenly believe that this material cannot be recycled. GREENMAX foam recycling machines enable the recycling of PE foam. The machines could be divided into two parts, including EPE foam compactor and EPE foam hot melt machines. Both of the two kinds of machines could recycle waste PE foam and compact them into blocks or melt them down to blocks.

Both of the two types of machines could handle waste PE foam and the difference is that PE foam compactor is a kind of cold compression. It is worth mentioning that GREENMAX PE foam compactor is innovative on the basis of cold pressing technology. A hot melt ring is installed in the discharge chute. This hot melt ring can heat the surface of the compressed material and make the compressed material more compact. The PE foam compactor has a compression ratio of 50:1, and this improved version of the compactor was also born from GREENMAX to meet customers' desire to process PE foam with cold-pressing technology.

PE foam hot melt machines need heat to melt waste PE foam and waste melted PE foam could be extruded into machine slot. Finally, waste PE foam could be melted down to blocks. This machine is completely using hot-melt technology. The PE foam is pretreated before recycling, which can compress waste to 1/90 of the original volume. Because of the need for heating, the energy consumption is relatively higher than that of machines using cold-pressing technology, but the compression ratio is also significantly improved. You can choose according to your own needs.

Polyethylene foam recycling have been mentioned much, but we haven’t mentioned PE foam. In fact, PE foam is a new kind of recycling and environmental protection material. This material is widely used in a lot of fields, such as IT, electronics, hardware, precision instruments, high-grade furniture, life jackets and other packaging products. Meanwhile, polyethylene foam have a series of excellent features, including polyethylene foam insulation, moisture, anti-friction and corrosion resistance.

In a word, PE foam have so much usage and people know little about waste PE foam recycling. So we hope more people could know that waste polyethylene foam could be handled and recycled by plastic foam recycling machines.
