The SK370 screw compactors are RUNI's largest machines for compacting EPS, EPP, EPE, XPS and PUR. We recommend this size for an annual volume of more than 50 tonnes.
The SK370 screw compactor can compact EPS (also known as airpop) at a ratio of up to 50:1. This means that 50 truckloads of uncompacted EPS can be replaced by one truckload of compacted EPS. The density of the compacted blocks of EPS, EPP, and XPS is approx. 350 kg/m³, and 600 - 750 kg/m³ for EPE. The compacted blocks can be stacked on a pallet and sold for recycling. A truck or container can load approx. 20 tonnes.
For PUR, the SK370 can also achieve a density of 350 kg/m³, but PUR cannot form a cohesive block and must be compacted into bags.
TURN WASTE TO VALUE!
The SK370 can be fed manually into a 45° hopper or by conveyor belt into a vertical hopper. The foam is pre-crushed in the hopper and the screw, and the automatic hydraulic jaws compact the foam to solid and uniform blocks. The density and size of the foam are crucial for the choice of pre-crusher. The different incorporated sensors ensure easy operation with the automatic start and stop function and adjustable speed.
Twin models with two or three screw compactors ensure even higher efficiency for customers handling large volumes of foam. It is also possible to place the compactor below a silo and buy an automatic block divider and crane for handling the compacted blocks.
