How To Recycle XPS?

Extruded Polystyrene (XPS) Recycling should be paid more attention to because it is also widely used as insulation material in the construction industry. Extruded polystyrene has a well-established reputation for long-term reliability and superior resistance to the elemental forces of nature: time, water, cold, heat, and pressure. XPS material is also used in crafts and model building, in particular architectural models.

Although incineration and landfill are the most common methods used to treat XPS in the past, this method consumes a lot of resources and wastes XPS materials. XPS recycling is the most popular way to dispose of waste XPS at present and in the future.More and more people will pay attention to environmental protection, so good solutions to handle the waste XPS is very important. Now GREENMAX recycling machines can recycle the waste XPS and can make full use of XPS after processing. 

GREENMAX XPS Recycling Machine offered by INTCO Recycling can compress XPS into ingots, that XPS ingots can be sold to Manufacturers to reuse other products.


The following is one way of XPS recycling.
1. Drop the XPS material into the GREENMAX recycling machine, and then the crusher will cut the material into fragments to the bottom bin. Once it is extruded from the bottom bin, it becomes the compacted form.
2. When the XPS ingots are cooled down, they can be transported to the manufacturer to produce pellets.
3. Pellets can be sold to home decoration manufacturers, making photo frames and other products.

Recycling machines suitable for XPS recycling are GREENMAX A, Z, and M series. While the A and Z series XPS compactor adopt the hydraulic principle, the compression ratio is 1:50, the M series XPS densifier adopt the hot melting principle, its compression ratio is 1:90. Compared with the A series, Z series has added surface hot melting technology to prevent the waste from loosening. You can choose the right series according to your needs.
