What is eps shredders

EPS, or polystyrene foam, is a lightweight polymer. In today’s society, EPS is used in huge quantities. However, if it is not properly handled, it will cause serious pollution to the environment. At this time, EPS shredders play a vital role.

In the field of environmental protection, EPS shredders can crush discarded EPS materials. According to statistics, the amount of EPS waste generated worldwide each year is huge. If it is not handled, these wastes will occupy a large amount of land resources and are difficult to degrade naturally, causing long-term pollution to soil and water sources. Through the treatment of EPS shredders, the volume of EPS waste can be greatly reduced, which is convenient for transportation and subsequent recycling. For example, the crushed EPS can be used to make recycled plastic products, reduce the demand for new raw materials, reduce energy consumption, thereby realizing the recycling of resources and contributing to environmental protection.

In the industrial field, EPS shredders are also widely used. A large amount of EPS scraps and waste will be generated in some industrial production processes. If these wastes are directly discarded, it will not only waste resources, but also increase the production costs of enterprises. EPS shredders can be used to shred these waste materials and then put them back into production to maximize the use of resources. For example, in the packaging industry, EPS materials are widely used in product cushioning packaging. Through the processing of EPS shredders, the recycled EPS materials can be processed into packaging materials again, reducing the procurement costs of enterprises and improving economic benefits.

In short, EPS shredders play an important role in environmental protection and industry, and their wide application provides strong support for the recycling of resources and sustainable development.

If it is a small processing plant or occasionally has a small amount of EPS waste processing needs, the processing volume is small, and you can choose a small shredder with relatively low processing capacity; if it is a large EPS recycling company or production company, there are a large amount of EPS waste to be processed every day, so you need to choose a large, high-capacity equipment to ensure that it can meet production needs.

– Feed size: EPS waste varies in size, and you need to choose a shredder with a suitable feed port size according to the actual situation. If you often process larger EPS foam blocks, you need to choose equipment with a larger feed port to avoid affecting work efficiency due to feed size restrictions.

  1. Crushing effect requirements:

– Crushing particle size: Different application scenarios have different requirements for the particle size of EPS after crushing. For example, if the crushed EPS is used to make recycled plastic particles, a smaller particle size may be required for subsequent processing; if it is simply used for waste compression or pretreatment before transportation, the particle size requirement is relatively low. When choosing a crusher, you should understand whether the crushing particle size it can achieve meets your needs.

– Crushing uniformity: Uniform crushing effect is very important for subsequent processing or treatment. Some high-quality crushers can ensure that the size of the crushed EPS particles is uniform, which can improve the quality of the recycled products or facilitate subsequent processing operations.
