Professional solutions for your
scrap foam
We currently have 2
models available
The "CrushPro II Recycler" and the "Foam
Crusher & Compactor"
The CrushPro I & CrushPro II Recycler
EPS foam does not rot or decompose; it is this durability that favors its use for building & architectural components, custom fit
insulation panels, signage & props, and concrete casting
forms.
In keeping with our philosophy of continued product improvements and
advancements and in response to our customer requests, we have designed
the Axis CrushPro II (ACP II). The ACP II is a foam recycling system
that cuts the scrap polystyrene foam into a re-useable commodity of EPS
cubes. The Axis CrushPro II assists in the reduction of, and disposal
of, foam waste.
In some areas, EPS foam suppliers have programs in which they will
remove your scrap foam and re-grind it to produce lower cost
"re-grind" blocks of foam. These blocks are produced at a
lower cost, however due to the use of re-grind materials are unsuitable
for precision hot wire cutting.
 Commonly, you do not have to pay to have
this scrap removed; however, you receive no compensation for it
either.
The ACP II solves your waste problem and produces a pure cash flow
stream by converting your waste foam into packaging and filler. The ACP
II has a throat (cutting area) measuring approximately 24" x
24" and a series of heated cutting wires spaced evenly in a grid
pattern. The cutting wires are adjustable within their grid pattern to
allow for the production of larger or smaller cubes. Regulation of the
cut-off wire grid, allows the operator to control the length of the
cubes. The scrap foam is placed into the supply hopper and gravity pulls
the scrap foam past the hot cutting wire grid. However, unlike
competitive machines that only produce long "strings" of foam;
the ACP II chops the foam into "cubes". Once cut, these cubes
fall into large polyethylene bags and are ready for use.
These bagged EPS cubes are ideal for use as packaging, loose fill or
many other applications. The EPS cubes are purchased by individuals,
companies for their own use as packaging fill and companies that offer
packaging and shipping services, etc.
 If the production of foam cubes exceeds the immediate demand for resale,
the cubes are easily disposed of in regular landfills. Once the EPS foam
is cubed, it breaks apart quicker than in large blocks. This mixture of
small foam cubes is beneficial for landfills; and acts in the same
principle of “Vermiculite” used in houseplants as the foam is
non-compressible, does not absorb water and will allow the free movement
of air & water throughout the landfill site. By allowing water and
air to move throughout the landfill, it aids in providing a means of
accelerating the decomposition of biodegradable materials within the
landfill.
An option for the Axis CrushPro II is the addition of a fume extractor.
While the fumes produced from the cutting of the EPS foam are neither
toxic nor carcinogenic, the odor can become uncomfortable for an
operator exposed to high levels of fumes in confined areas. The Fume
Extractor is vented to the outdoors and can be synchronized to work
simultaneously with the ACP II.
