Ecopolymer products

Compacted XPS has even porous structure, which is denser and smoother than EPS has. Because of the structure and density of this material it can’t be compacted to the volumes of EPS. Factories that specialize in heat-, sound- and waterproof insulation as well as XPS plates manufacturing often face the problem of waste, rejects and defective goods recycling. The best solution of the problem is installation of a compactor, which allows not only to rationalize its production activity, but also gives an opportunity to make money by selling compacted polystyrene waste. Compacted XPS, as well as EPS can be used once again, after being recycled, in the production of EPS.

Nowadays the packaging of EPE is widely used in different industrial and domestic sectors of the market. Using our compactors some types of EPE could be compacted in blocks with density up to 450 kg/m3. There are some types of expanded polyethylene that does not keep closed up after compacting. In this case material is loaded in containers or big bags for convenient shipment.

Screw compactor designed by the Ecopolymer can be also used for expanded polypropylene processing. Nowadays the use of EPP is increasing as packaging for electronic goods and a raw material for the production of other items. Expanded Polypropylene has a denser structure than EPS, that is why it is necessary for a more powerful pre-crusher to be fit on it for the following its substances: ingots, natural colored film, fibers, threads and textile rejects.

Nowadays amounts of PET used are rather high and they are going to increase in future. Beer, juice, sunflower oil, milk, water and cleansers are usually bottled in PET. Such packaging can be recycled without losing its valuable features (transparency, water resistance etc.). That is why the interest in   PET-bottles processing is steadily growing and an increasing number of companies are recycling PET. 

Polycarbonate, which is a popular in different fields polymer and well-known for its excellent optical transparency and overstrength, is used in the manufacturing of transparent blow molds. Large 19-litre water drums from polycarbonate or LDPE are used for mineral water coolers and are impractical for transportion and storing because of their size and space they require.

Installation of the compacting equipment is of current interest for food industry enterprises, breweries, carbonated drinks producers as well as for other fields. A screw compactor is mostly used for the processing of returnable and defect production: empty containers compacting and dewatering of full or partially full metal and aluminum beverage cans.

During XPS plates manufacturing there is usually a lot of dust and scraps, which can be recycled by using a compactor. Dust is usually collected by a ventilation system into large containers.
