EPS Hot Melting Recycling Machine | EPS Foam Melting Machine

The EPS hot melting recycling machine, also known as an EPS foam melting machine, is designed to compress and melt bulky EPS foam into dense strip-shaped material. This process significantly reduces volume, requires minimal floor space, and makes transportation and storage much easier. The melted polystyrene foam can be reused as raw material for manufacturing other plastic products, improving overall recycling efficiency.

As a key piece of equipment in the EPS recycling machine system, the EPS hot melting recycler plays a vital role in the foam recycling process. Many people are unaware that EPS foam can be melted and reused—its melting temperature is approximately 150°C, making thermal recycling both practical and efficient.

Why Use an EPS Hot Melting Recycling Machine?

With increasing government emphasis on environmental protection, the waste plastic recycling industry has grown rapidly. Beyond common materials such as plastic films and bottles, expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam recycling has gained strong momentum.

EPS foam is widely used in the packaging industry, but its large volume makes transportation difficult and costly. The EPS hot melting machine effectively solves this problem by reducing foam volume through thermal compression.

Advantages of the EPS Hot Melting Machine

1.Easy operation and compact design

The EPS hot melting recycling machine is simple to operate, occupies little space, and produces compact finished material that is easy to transport.

2.Automatic temperature control

Equipped with an automatic temperature control system, the machine ensures stable operation and achieves optimal melting performance while preventing abnormal conditions.

3.Energy-saving design

Machine power ranges from 18.5 kW to 22.5 kW, offering energy efficiency and reduced electricity consumption.

4.Multiple capacity options

Different output models are available, ranging from 100 kg/h to 250 kg/h, allowing customers to select the most suitable EPS melting machine for their production needs.

5.No change to material properties

The EPS hot melting process does not alter the physical properties of the foam, making the melted material suitable for further recycling or processing.

6.Durable and long service life

Manufactured from high-quality, wear-resistant materials, the machine ensures long-term, reliable operation.

Applications of the EPS Foam Melting Machine

The EPS hot melting recycling machine can melt and densify various foam materials at high temperatures, including EPS, EPP, EPE, and EVA. Common applications include recycling foam food containers, packaging boxes, and protective cushioning materials.

As a result, this machine is widely used in plastic recycling plants. It is often combined with a foam crusher for pre-processing before pelletizing. Multiple EPS hot melting machine models are available to meet the production requirements of different foam recycling lines.

Working Principle of the EPS Hot Melting Recycling Machine

The foam hot melting machine mainly adopts a heated plate structure. Heat generated by electric heating elements is transferred to the upper and lower melting surfaces of the plastic foam. As the surface temperature rises, the EPS foam gradually melts.

The molten surfaces are then pressed together, fused, and solidified into a single dense block or strip. The machine features a robust frame structure and is mainly composed of three plates: the upper platen, lower platen, and heating platen.

The EPS hot melting recycling machine primarily relies on pneumatic control. During operation, foam material is placed into the mold cavity, with the heating plate positioned between the foam layers. Once the heating plate reaches the set temperature, the EPS foam begins to melt and compress, completing the recycling process.
