Foam Shredding Equipment

Enstyro Foam Ripper

Enstyro Foam Ripper Image The foam grinder or ripper is the unique piece of equipment invented specifically for the processing of recycled EPS. The machine tears bulky pieces of EPS into small bits without any compacting as with other grinding equipment. This method of ripping rather than shearing achieves particles with the lowest possible density and thus the highest insulating value. The machine is small enough to be mounted on a trailer for processing on the go. Some companies may choose to use the equipment periodically to grind their incoming Styrofoam into out going packing material. This method eliminates the cost of garbage disposal and packing peanuts for the company.

The Foam Ripper uses an exhaust blower to convey the material through the rip zone and on to the collection bag. A particle separator can be connected directly into the finished product line if certain sizes are required for your specific end uses. Several of the Enstyro end products work more effectively when the particle size is more tightly controlled.
