Problems Disposing of Polystyrene
The disposal of polystyrene waste is a major problem for many selectors of industry because the volume to weight ratio of the material is unfavorable for economic transportaion after use. In many applications polystryene is the best packaging material to use as it can reduce the risk of damage to expensive electronic items and can preserve and protect food far better than many alternative packaging materials. Despite the suitability polystyrene for a wide variety of applications, organizations are faced with the growing problem of finding alternative methods of disposing of large volumes of waste packaging.Thermo Compaction is a new and viable method of treating this complex waste strem while saving money.

The Thermo Compactor is specially designed for applications where transportation of EPS is not economical or practical or where lingering odors and contaminants are present in the polystyrene (e.g. organic matter from food containers). The thermal compaction process can achieve a volumetric reduction of waste of up to 95% to dramatically reduce waste storage and traffic.
The thermo Compactor machine simply reverses the manufacturing process of the material to be compacted by applying conductive heat to the EPS waste to convert into a liquid resin that is cooled into a block. The Thermo Compactor uses conductive heat to melt and not burn the EPS waste, there are no pollutants released into our atmosphere. The Thermo Compactor does not employ blades or dangerous moving parts and is virtually silent running. The machine can deal with contaminated waste and the resultant volume reduced block is completely odorless.
Meet The General
Above, Steve McCaleb holds what's left of about 1,500 polystrene food trays.
"Blankner school is testing a device called the Thermo Compactor that melts the trays into a compact block of plastic, which is then recycled into other items. McCaleb is seeking grants to place Thermo Compactor machines all over the district."
Cost Benefits
The Introduction of the Thermo Compactor machine will have positive cost cutting and environmental implications, by reducing the need for expensive transport, storage and disposal facilities, which are currently a necessity for many industries using polystyrene packaging.
