EPS Granulator (EPSR-300) – Compact EPS Recycling Machine for SMEs & Mobile Foam Processing with Automated Operation

Published on: April 5, 2026 | Author: John Miller, Senior Plastic Recycling Equipment Engineer | Technical Whitepaper: Compact EPS Recycling Solutions for Small Businesses & Mobile Operations

For small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), mobile recycling operators, and workshops with limited space, finding an efficient, cost-effective EPS recycling machine is a critical challenge. Traditional industrial EPS granulators are bulky, expensive, and require professional operators—making them inaccessible for small-scale operations. The EPSR-300 Compact EPS Granulator addresses these pain points by combining a space-saving design, automated operation, and affordable pricing, making it the ideal solution for SMEs, packaging shops, and mobile recycling teams. This all-in-one EPS recycling machine efficiently processes loose EPS foam into high-quality pellets, helping small businesses reduce waste disposal costs, tap into the growing recycled EPS market, and comply with environmental regulations—all without sacrificing floor space or operational efficiency.

Core Features & How It Solves Your EPS Recycling Challenges

The EPSR-300 EPS granulator is specifically engineered for small-scale operations, addressing the unique pain points of SMEs and mobile recycling teams:

• Ultra-Compact Design: With dimensions of 2000×1100×1700 mm and a weight of only 1600 kg, the EPSR-300 occupies 45% less space than standard EPS recycling machine It can be easily installed in small workshops, garages, or mobile recycling vehicles, offering unmatched flexibility for on-site EPS foam recycling(e.g., at packaging facilities, construction sites, or waste collection points).
• Automated & User-Friendly Operation: Equipped with a touchscreen control panel and automated feeding system, the machine requires only 1 operator to run—cutting labor costs by 50% compared to manual EPS recycling processes. The intuitive interface allows non-technical staff to set parameters (e.g., pellet size, feeding speed) and monitor operations with ease, eliminating the need for costly professional training.
• Cost-Effective & Low Maintenance: Priced 35% lower than industrial-scale EPS granulators, the EPSR-300 is accessible for SMEs with limited budgets. It features low maintenance costs, with replaceable high-speed steel blades and easy-to-clean components that minimize downtime and repair expenses (approximately $400-700 per year).
• Reliable Performance & Compliance: Despite its compact size, the EPSR-300 delivers a stable output of 100-250 kg/h, with a 97% pelletizing rate—ensuring nearly all EPS foam is converted into usable regrind. It is CE certified, ISO 9001 approved, and PPWR compliant, guaranteeing safety and environmental compliance for small-scale operations.
