Compacting EPS
(Expanded Polystyrene)
At first glance, waste compactors and waste balers seem to accomplish the same task: they all reduce significant amounts of waste materials generated by an organization or business. But a close look at balers and trash compactors reveals that they serve very different purposes.
While balers are used for creating bales of recycling material (including paper, plastics, cardboard, and other materials), compactors do precisely what their name implies: compact – or densify – large amounts of loose waste.
EPS compactors are ideal for businesses that struggle with large amounts of polystyrene waste. These machines condense expanded polystyrene by removing the air to facilitate more organized disposal. If you’re looking for a solution to compacting your business’ waste EPS in Australia, an expanded polystyrene compactor is a natural solution.
Why Polystyrene Compactors?
Durable, low maintenance, and able to compact and recycle waste that isn’t normally recycled – polystyrene compactors are perfect for food handlers, food processors, distribution centers, and manufacturers.
EPS6 material is placed into the compactor. Designed for semi-automatic operation, this activates the machine sensors activate, breaking down the polystyrene into small pieces. The friction generated in this process heats the pieces, which melt into solid, uniform blocks. Voluminous EPS waste can then be stored and stacked easily, ensuring much more efficient use of space and a safer working environment.
Many businesses fail to realize that EPS6 is both highly recyclable and a valuable commodity. Waste polystyrene often piles up before being sent to landfills. That is a costly and inefficient process, representing poor waste management.
With an EPS compactor from Mil-tek, this waste stream is reduced in size, generating blocks of easily-managed compacted polystyrene that can be sold to recyclers.
