Frequently Asked Questions

A hot melt densifier is a machine designed to compress and melt down materials such as Styrofoam (EPS), reducing their volume at a ratio of 90:1 and converting them into denser, manageable blocks. It operates by heating the material to a melting point, then compresses it to form solid blocks for easier storage and transportation.

Our hot melt densifiers are versatile machines capable of processing various materials, including expanded polystyrene (EPS), polyethylene (PE), and polypropylene (PP) foam.

Our hot melt densifiers are designed with energy efficiency in mind, utilizing advanced heating and compression technologies to minimize energy consumption. Many models feature insulation and temperature control systems to optimize energy usage during the melting and compression processes.

Yes, our hot melt densifiers are user-friendly machines that are easy to operate with minimal training. Routine maintenance tasks such as cleaning and lubrication are straightforward and can be performed by onsite staff.

Yes, our hot melt densifiers are engineered with safety features to ensure operator protection and compliance with industry standards. These may include safety guards, emergency stop buttons, and temperature monitoring systems to prevent overheating and accidents during operation.

A cold compaction densifier is a machine designed to compress lightweight materials such as Styrofoam, EPS, or other plastics without the use of heat. It uses mechanical pressure to reduce the volume of these materials, making them easier to handle and transport for recycling purposes.

Cold compaction densifiers employ hydraulic or mechanical mechanisms to compress materials. They typically feature a hopper where the material is loaded, and then it’s compacted by a ram or compression mechanism. The compressed material is then expelled, resulting in reduced volume and increased density.

Cold compaction densifiers are suitable for processing various lightweight materials, including expanded polystyrene (EPS), Styrofoam, polyethylene, and polypropylene foam. They can also handle other types of plastics and materials with similar properties.

Cold compaction densifiers operate at room temperature, using mechanical pressure to compress materials. In contrast, hot melt densifiers utilize heat to melt materials before compression. While hot melt densifiers may handle a wider range of materials, cold compaction densifiers are often more energy-efficient and have lower operating costs.

To select the best cold compaction densifier for your requirements, consider factors such as the type and volume of materials you need to process, available space, budget, and desired features. Our expert team can provide personalized guidance and recommendations to help you make an informed decision.
