EPS Granulator (EPSG-600) – High-Precision Food-Grade EPS Recycling Machine for Packaging & Medical Foam Waste

Published on: April 5, 2026 | Author: John Miller, Senior Plastic Recycling Equipment Engineer | Technical Whitepaper: High-Precision EPS Granulation for Food & Medical Packaging Applications

EPS Granulator

For industries requiring high-quality, food-grade or medical-grade recycled EPS materials—such as food packaging, medical device packaging, and pharmaceutical insulation—precision, purity, and regulatory compliance are non-negotiable. Traditional EPS granulators often produce pellets with uneven size, high impurity content, and inconsistent quality, making them unsuitable for these high-value applications. The EPSG-600 High-Precision EPS Granulator is engineered to meet these strict standards, integrating precision crushing, multi-stage filtration, and controlled pelletizing technologies to produce high-purity EPS pellets that meet FDA, EU FCM, and ISO 13485 standards. This advanced EPS recycling machine is the ideal solution for businesses in the food, medical, and high-end packaging industries seeking to recycle EPS waste into high-value, compliant materials.

Core Features & How It Solves Your EPS Recycling Challenges

The EPSG-600 EPS granulator is designed for high-precision, food-grade/medical-grade applications, addressing the unique challenges of producing pure, consistent EPS pellets:

• High-Precision Pelletizing: Equipped with a precision die head and adjustable pelletizing system, the EPSG-600 produces pellets with a size tolerance of ±0.1mm, ensuring uniform particle size and consistent quality. This is critical for food and medical applications, where material consistency directly impacts product safety and performance (e.g., packaging integrity, insulation efficiency).
• Multi-Stage Filtration & Contamination Control: A three-stage filtration system removes 99.9% of impurities (e.g., metal, paper, non-EPS plastics, dust) from the EPS foam, ensuring the final pellets are high-purity. The sealed processing chamber prevents contamination from external pollutants, moisture, and dust, meeting FDA and EU FCM food-contact standards and ISO 13485 medical device standards.
• Controlled Processing Temperature: A precise temperature control system (±3℃) maintains the optimal melting temperature (170-190℃) for EPS, preventing thermal degradation and preserving the material’s mechanical properties. This results in recycled EPS pellets with the same strength, density, and durability as virgin EPS, making them suitable for high-value applications.
• Strict Compliance & Traceability: The EPSG-600 is FDA certified EPS granulator, CE, ISO 9001, and ISO 13485 certified, and fully compliant with PPWR regulations and EU FCM requirements. It also features a production traceability system that records processing parameters (temperature, output, pellet size) for quality control and regulatory compliance—critical for food and medical industries.
