XPS Recycling Solution
XPS foam is widely used as insulation material in the construction industry, which has a reputation for reliability and resistance. GREENMAX APOLO Recycling Compactor can convert XPS into dense blocks, the compression ratio is 50:1, which can be reused to produce XPS boards.
Extruded polystyrene (XPS) is a lightweight cellular rigid plastic foam or thermoplastic. The reputation of XPS for excellent water resistance, thermal insulation, pressure resistance and long-term reliability makes it widely used in the construction industry as insulation material, such as the insulation of buildings, roofs or concrete floors.
XPS is light in weight but large in size. Its density is usually between 25-45 kg/m³. Like other plastic foams, XPS contains a high proportion of air, which makes handling, storage and transportation difficult. The early treatment methods are usually incineration and landfill, but XPS is corrosion-resistant, aging-resistant and not easy to degrade.
Using machine to recycle XPS is currently the most popular method of disposing of discarded XPS, which can eliminate landfill contamination and minimize threats to wildlife and the environment to the greatest extent.
GREENMAX can efficiently and safely recycle discarded XPS and make full use of the XPS after processing. The GREENMAX recycling machine cuts the XPS scrap into pieces and compresses the foam into ingots, which are then reused through the pelletizing process. GREENMAX provides a buy-back service for XPS foam ingots, which can be used to re-make products such as photo frames and insulation boards.

GREENMAX Foam Pelletizer
GREENMAX Foam Pelletizer produces foam pellets that can be used in a wide range of applications, such as environmentally friendly frames. Waste XPS foam undergoes processes such as crushing, melting, extruding, and granulation, and finally becomes pellets. The entire production process is highly automated, saving manpower. GREENMAX provides customized design services and comprehensive after-sales services.

GREENMAX Foam Densifier MARS Series
GREENMAX MARS Foam Densifier can compress bulk XPS foam to one-ninth of its original volume, making it easier to transport and store. After the machine crushes the foam, the XPS is heated in the screw to melt and form a tight foam ingot. The GREENMAX machine can ensure uniform heating and timely delivery of materials, avoiding excessive heat melting, which may cause blackening or discoloration of materials.

GREENMAX Foam Compactor APOLO Series
GREENMAX APOLO Foam Compactor can compress XPS into compact blocks at a 50:1 ratio. On the one hand, it reduces the volume of XPS and reduces transportation and storage costs. On the other hand, it can provide higher density materials for subsequent granulation to improve the efficiency of material making. The GREENMAX APOLO machine is quite energy-saving because it does not require heating, so it consumes very little energy.
