On Wednesday, January 22nd, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., the Everett Community College Students for Environmental Action (SEA) Club will have a Styrofoam recycling event in Parking Lot K (909 N. Broadway), which is located down the hill from the main campus. 

Volunteers will assist you unloading your Styrofoam; this is a drive-through event. After removing the tape, the Styrofoam should be clean. After these warm-up activities, what we should pay more attention to is where these EPS foams will eventually go.

At present, the first step to solve the problem of EPS foam is usually to compress it, using screw extrusion, hydraulic pressure, hot melt and other methods. However, after compressing these wastes, subsequent processing is still required, usually using these compressed wastes for granulation. GREENMAX foam pelletizing machine It can directly granulate loose EPS foam, but if you talk about it in detail, you can also understand that this foam pelletizing machine is a combination of hot melt equipment and granulation equipment.

The main principle of GREENMAX foam pelletizing machine is to heat-melt the loose EPS foam first, and then extrude it into thin strips of uniform size. These molten EPS foam strips are similar to "noodles." After cooling in the water tank, they are cut and dried, and the good and bad particles are automatically sorted and collected.

At present, this equipment can help to efficiently process EPS foam waste, directly realize granulation, and the operation effect is good. This equipment avoids the problem that factories with reasonable needs do not have a one-stop solution and do not need to waste too much money to invest in multiple recycling equipment to realize the manufacture of plastic particles.
