Production Flow

From raw material to finished product — six stages, fully integrated.

Step 1

Waste EPS Scrap Input

Runners, trimming waste, and defective EPS products collected from molding production are loaded into the crusher hopper.

Step 2

Crushing

EPS Crusher reduces waste foam into uniform recyclable particles.

Step 3

Dust Removal

Dust Removal Machine separates fine dust and impurities to ensure clean recycled material.

Step 4

Mixing with Virgin Material

Mixing Machine blends recycled particles with virgin EPS beads evenly per the production recipe.

Step 5

Pre-expander Feed

Mixed material (recycled + virgin) is delivered to your existing pre-expander.

Step 6

Molding Process

Pre-expanded beads enter your shape molding machine and return to the production stream.

Why ChinaEps for This Solution

Engineering specifically tuned for this application — not a generic line.

Lower Production Costs

Reduce virgin material consumption and maximize material utilization. The mixing system allows blending recycled particles with virgin EPS beads, lowering per-unit raw material cost.

Environmentally Friendly

Reuse production waste and minimize landfill disposal. Closed-loop scrap recycling reduces overall environmental impact of your molding operation.

Easy Integration

The 3-machine set can be connected with existing EPS molding production lines as an add-on. No factory redesign needed — just install in workshop corner.

Reliable Operation

Simple mechanical structure, no steam or cooling water requirements, low maintenance. Designed for continuous operation alongside your molding line.

High Efficiency

Continuous recycling of internal scrap improves productivity and material yield. Pneumatic transfer between stages keeps the recycling stream synchronized with molding output.

Utility Consumption Calc

Per-equipment + total demand for sizing your boiler, compressor, and cooling tower.

System Electrical Profile

Equipment Per Unit Qty Total
EPS Crusher 15-20 kW 1 15-20 kW
Dust Removal Machine 5-10 kW 1 5-10 kW
Mixing Machine 10-15 kW 1 10-15 kW
Conveying + Aux 3-5 kW 1 3-5 kW
Total Installed Power - - ~35-50 kW
Recommendation No steam, no cooling water required — this is a fully electrical-mechanical recycling system. ~40 kW total power budget for the 3-machine set.

Compressed Air Demand

Equipment Per Unit Qty Total
Pneumatic conveying (between stages) 0.5-1.0 m³/min 3 1.5-3.0 m³/min
Control system pneumatics 0.2-0.3 m³/min 1 0.2-0.3 m³/min
Total Air Demand - - 1.7-3.3 m³/min
Recommendation Recommended compressor: 3-4 m³/min at 0.6 MPa. Lower than other production lines because there is no shape-molding clamping load.

Frequently Asked Questions

What materials can be recycled?
Production scrap, runners, trimming waste, and defective EPS products. The system handles EPS scrap from fish box, fruit box, insulation panel, and general packaging production. Foreign materials (PE, PVC, paper labels, metal nails) must be removed before loading.
Can recycled particles be used directly?
No. Recycled particles are generally mixed with virgin EPS beads before pre-expansion. Direct 100% recycled use is possible for low-grade products only. Most factories blend 5-30% recycled with virgin to maintain end-product density and mechanical strength.
What products are suitable for this system?
Fish boxes, fruit boxes, packaging products, insulation boards, and other EPS molded products. The system fits any shape molding operation that produces edge waste during normal production.
Can the system be customized?
Yes. Machine capacity and configuration can be customized according to customer requirements. We adjust crusher throughput, dust unit capacity, and mixing ratio range to match your scrap volume and downstream demand.
