Shuliy EPE recycling machine is a specialized equipment that converts waste EPE foam into reusable granular material, making it an essential tool in the EPE foam recycling and reuse field. As a plastic foam recycling specialist, Shuliy offers a wide range of models of EPE foam granule machines with a production capacity of 150 to 200 kg/h.

What is EPE？

Expanded Polyethylene(EPE) is a non-crosslinked closed cell structure, also known as pearl cotton, formed by low-density polyethylene(LDPE) foam to produce numerous independent bubbles, with waterproof, shock-proof, strong plasticity and other characteristics. The application of EPE extends to packaging medical equipment, electronic appliances, lighting fixtures, and other delicate high-end products as well as daily necessities. Moreover, the adhesive properties of EPE combined with various fabrics make it suitable for interior decoration in vehicles and rooms. Additionally, composite materials consisting of EPE and aluminized film serve as indispensable sunshade supplies for chemical cold storage facilities and camping gear.

In short, EPE has a high recycling value but due to its large elasticity and volume, it is not easily recyclable for storage and transportation. The Shuliy EPE foam recycling machine utilized screw melting technology converting all kinds of EPE foam plastic into pellets effectively for reproduction.

How Does an EPE Plastic Foam Pelletizing Work?

Strand Pelletizing System

EPE recycling machine is a kind of equipment commonly used in the reproduction of EPE foaming, containing the process of screw melting, compressing, cooling, and cutting. Firstly, the raw plastic foams are put into the hopper of the EPE foam granule machine, and then the raw materials are heated up to a certain temperature by the heating unit to reach a molten state suitable for extrusion. Subsequently, the heated plastic passes through the screw extruding mechanism and is extruded into dense blokes in the shape of a continuous plastic strip. Throughout the process, precise adjustment of parameters such as temperature control, extrusion pressure, and speed is critical to ensure the quality and performance of the final product.

Water-ring Pelletizing Unit

The water-ring system mainly contains a die mold, granulation system, heater, pump, frequency converter, and circulating cooling pool. First, the plastic is squeezed into long strips by the die head. Unlike ordinary granulation, the long strips of plastic are not cooled immediately, they are directly cut into pellets by a rotating circular cutting machine, and then thrown into a spiral flow of water for preliminary quenching. Finally, the pellets are passed through temperature-controlled water out of the granulating chamber and into the centrifugal dryer. In the dryer, the water is drained back into the cooling pool, cooled, and recycled, while the grain is removed by centrifugal dryer.

Features of Plastic Foam Extruder

Efficiency and High-quality:

Equipped with a double screw, our screw compactor adopts advanced screw melting technology and techniques to efficiently convert waste foam into high-quality pellets. Meanwhile, our machines utilize an exhaust structure, which can prevent gas interference in the production process, making products tight and smoother to satisfy the requirements of pellet quality in reproduction. Its efficient production capacity and precise processing control make the production process faster, time and cost-saving. At the same time, the efficient foam granulator can also improve the plastic foam recycling plant capacity and increase production efficiency.

Good Quality of Machine:

EPE recycling machines are usually made of high-quality materials, which are carefully designed and manufactured to have good durability. Its sturdy structure enables it to run stably for a long time, reducing the need for maintenance and repair and saving costs for users.

Beautiful Appearance and Customizable:

The design of the plastic granulator takes into account both practicality and aesthetics. For example, the water-ring pelletizing system utilizes a circular recycling system that reduces the use of cold water tanks, not only greatly reducing production space and energy consumption, but also having a strong aesthetic appeal. Besides, our machines can be customized according to customers’ needs. Users can adjust parameters such as production capacity and production efficiency to meet different production needs.
