-
Set Temperature: Begin by setting the desired operating temperature on the densifier control panel. This temperature will depend on the type and density of the styrofoam being processed.
-
Heating Process: Allow the system to heat up to the pre-set temperature. This process may take some time depending on the size of the densifier, as well as the initial temperature conditions.
-
Auger Activation: As the system reaches the designated temperature, the auger will start automatically. This auger helps maintain a consistent flow of material for processing.
-
Shredder Activation: Following the auger's initiation, the shredder component of the densifier will engage. The shredder is responsible for breaking down larger styrofoam pieces into smaller, more manageable pieces for densification.
-
Ready for Operation: Once both the auger and shredder are activated and operational, the PolyWiz Hot Melt Styrofoam Densifier is ready for use. You can begin feeding styrofoam waste into the hopper for processing.

Feeding the Machine
Featuring a manual feeding system, our hot melt densifiers offer operators full control over the input process.
