The granulator reduces the volume of bulky EPS material by up to two-thirds by shredding the material into granules.
The granulator is user-friendly, reliable, and designed for daily use in retail, warehouse, and industrial environments for those who want to optimize their waste management and reduce the cost of EPS disposal.

Many people are not aware that polystyrene is recyclable. But it actually is very easy to recycle.
High density compressed polystyrene is easy to process into new plastic or foam products. Polystyrene is reused in almost every plastic product imaginable, from mobile phones, speakers, TVs, and toys. Reusing polystyrene is much cheaper – and more environmentally friendly – than producing new plastic.
This means that polystyrene is a very sought-after commodity that is very popular in e.g. China where a lot of plastic is needed for production.
As a rule of thumb, you can granulate all types of polystyrene that you can break with your hands.
For polystyrene products that are more heavily compressed, e.g., insulating plates containing fire-retardant additives, XPS, or damp EPS, you must use a screw compactor.
An EPS granulator divides the polystyrene into fine granulates. This reduces the volume of the polystyrene by up to two-thirds.
The granulator is fitted with a bag inside the machine that collects the granulates. The bag is easy to dispose of in your container.
