EPS Recycling Line — Turnkey Solution
Complete EPS waste recycling line — turn scrap foam into pelletized polystyrene resin for resale or in-house remelt.
What This Line Produces
End products this turnkey line is engineered to manufacture.
Recycled polystyrene (rPS) pellets for plastic resale
Densified EPS ingots (4× volume reduction for transport)
Re-pelletized EPS for in-house bead production
PS resin for non-foam plastic injection molding
GP-PS / HI-PS recycled grades
Production Flow
From raw material to finished product — six stages, fully integrated.
Collection
Scrap EPS gathered from packaging / construction / fish-box waste streams.
Crushing
CR-500 / CR-800 mechanical crusher reduces foam to 5-15 mm pieces.
Compacting
CC-200 cold compactor squeezes air out, 4× volume reduction; output: dense EPS ingot.
Hot Melting
HM-300 melter heats compacted EPS to 230-280°C; degasses pentane residue.
Pelletizing
PL-300 extrusion pelletizer; output: 3-5 mm rPS pellets ready for resale or remelt.
QC + Bagging
Density + color + MFI testing; 25 kg PE bags or 1,000 kg jumbo for bulk shipment.
Equipment List
Engineered configuration — every machine sized to match line throughput.

| Cold Compactor | CC-200 / CC-300 | 1 | 150-300 kg/h |
| Hot Melter | HM-300 / HM-500 | 1 | 200-500 kg/h |
| Pelletizer | PL-300 | 1 | 200-400 kg/h |
| Optional: Pre-washer | PW-1000 | 0-1 | For dirty fish-box waste |
Why ChinaEps for This Solution
Engineering specifically tuned for this application — not a generic line.
Modular Plant Design
Start with crusher + compactor (USD 50K, sell densified ingot to local recyclers); add hot-melt + pelletizer later (USD 80K total, sell pellets at 2-3× ingot value).
Pentane Degassing Compliance
Hot-melt stage degasses pentane residue (flammable hazard) per EU EN 13478 + Chinese GB 12477 fire safety standards. Closed-loop venting + RTO (regenerative thermal oxidizer) optional.
Circular-Economy Integration
Recycled rPS pellets can be re-fed into PE-1200 pre-expander for in-house bead production — 30-40% raw material cost reduction for vertically-integrated EPS factories.
Government Subsidy Documentation
We provide environmental impact documentation, carbon-offset calculations, and subsidy application support — many countries (Russia / Brazil / EU) offer recycling-line subsidies.
