Foamed Material Recycling
Foamed materials made of PE, EPS, PS, XPS, or styrofoam are used for different applications in various industries, including general packaging, construction, food packaging, disposable cups / plates, art and crafts, floral foam, flotation devices, automotive, and many others.
Plastic foams are made of different plastic types and can be recycled using pelletizing machines.

How to Recycle PE Foam Materials?
POLYSTAR's high-efficiency foam recycling machine, Repro-Flex, features a unique design tailored for recycling EPS foam/Styrofoam. To accommodate the lightweight nature of foamed materials, the machine includes a specialized cutter compactor unit. This unit preconditions the materials before feeding them to the extruder, simplifying the recycling process for materials like PE foams / Styrofoam.The high quality of these pellets made of foamed materials allows producers to use them back into their production lines for applications such as injection molding or others.
The Advantages of Using Repro-Flex Plastic Foam Recycling Machine
-
Special Design for Recycling Plastic Foam
Repro-Flex plastic pelletizer is designed for recycling the plastic foam such as EPS foam and Styrofoam. This pelletizer has the built-in cutter compactor that can be used to cut and compact foam plastics, making the recycling process easier and more effective. -
Extruding + Pelletizing
After the plastic foam is preconditioned, it directly enters the extruder at a continuous pace. Then the material gets transferred to the pelletizing unit (Hot die face pelletizer), where the plastic pellets are produced. Resulting in a much higher production output compared to other recycling systems on the market. -
Higher Pellets Quality
Thanks to these advantages, the output pellets can still maintain the material properties, allowing producers to add recycled foam plastic pellets directly into their production lines.
