Foam Densifying & Recycling Equipment
Turn Scrap Foam Into RevenueIndustrial Foam Densifiers & EPS Recycling Machines
Industrial foam densifiers that compress bulky EPS, PU and PE foam up to 90:1 into dense, marketable recycled blocks — cutting your landfill and hauling costs while creating a sellable commodity.

Why Densify Your Foam
Loose foam is mostly air. Densifying it pays off three ways.
Cut Waste & Landfill Costs
Stop paying to haul air. A 90:1 reduction means far fewer pickups, less storage space, and dramatically lower disposal fees.
Create a Marketable Product
Densified foam blocks (ingots) are a clean, sellable recycling commodity. Turn a waste stream into a new revenue line.
Meet Sustainability Goals
Divert EPS and PU foam from landfill, reduce your carbon footprint, and support circular-economy and ESG commitments.

Hot Melt vs Cold Compaction
Hot Melt
Melts the foam with heat and extrudes it as solid ingots.
- Output form
- Solid ingots
- Best suited to
- Sites with a steady, high volume of EPS packaging waste, where the highest possible reduction ratio and a compact, tradable ingot matter most.
Cold Compaction
Compresses the foam mechanically, with no applied heat, into dense blocks.
- Output form
- Dense blocks
- Best suited to
- Mixed foam streams including PU and PIR, and sites where a heated process is unwanted or the material must stay unmelted.
How It Works
From loose scrap to a marketable block in one continuous process.
- 01
Feed
Load loose EPS, PU or PE foam into the wide infeed hopper — manually or via collector/conveyor.
- 02
Shred & Compress
The machine shreds the foam and compresses it, driving out trapped air at up to 90:1.
- 03
Densify
Cold compaction or hot-melt forms the foam into dense blocks or logs.
- 04
Sell
Stack and ship the blocks to recyclers as a clean, high-value commodity.
