Recycling Process

1

Feeding of Raw Materials

The raw materials to be processed are fed into the hopper. The capacity is 20 kg/h, and the feeding method can be selected to suit the working system.

2

Crushing

The styrofoam is crushed into uniformly small pieces to facilitate volume reduction.

3

Volume Reduction

The finely crushed styrofoam is melted with an electric heater to remove air and reduce the volume to about 1/50 (depends on the raw material's foaming ratio).

4

Molding & Cutting

The reduced volume of styrofoam is formed into ingots and then automatically cut to a specified length before being discharged.

Why Yamamoto?
We're all about making work
safe and comfortable.

While our machines provide unrivalled performance
and create the highest quality ingots,
our real focus is on workplace safety, comfort, and ease of use.

Easy & Simple
Operation

Our machines are designed to be easy for anyone to use. For regular operation, simply touch a button and watch as ingots are automatically formed and cut to the specified size.

Reduces
Work-Related Stress

The warm-up time is only 5 minutes. There is no need to keep the operator waiting before starting operation or resuming after a break. Air cooling is standard, so there is no need to cool the ingot by immersion in water.

Consideration for
the Working Environment

The small heat source makes it difficult for odours to diffuse, and an activated carbon deodoriser is fitted as standard. This promotes a pleasant working environment.

Designed for
Safety

Dangerous parts, such as chains and blades, are covered to prevent access. A safety switch prevents the machine from being started when the cover is open.


Configuration

1

Feeding Hopper

The wide hopper is large enough to hold 5–10 fish boxes. The continuous feeding system keeps the work area clean and saves space.

2

Crushing Section

The crushing blade is our proprietary design and crushes all kinds of styrofoam such as fish boxes, cushioning material, and trays.

3

Electric Heater

Warm-up operation time is only 5 minutes.
Due to the low temperature of 170°C and rapid volume reduction, the ingot is of good quality with little deterioration of physical properties.

4

Molding Section

The foamed polystyrene melted from the heater is rolled by the forming rolls and formed into the specified shape.

close

5

Cutting Section

The wheel sensor detects the ingot's discharge, and the cutting blade automatically cuts it to a length of approximately 50 cm.

close

6

Deodoriser

Odour generated during volume reduction is deodorized by activated carbon adsorption system to promote a comfortable working environment. The exhaust air is used for cooling the ingot surface.

close

7

Control Panel

Precise and meticulous temperature control is possible. In the event of a problem, the alarm indicator light will light up, and a warning sound will be given. At that time, a message will be displayed on the monitor.

close

8

Manual Operation Switch

A maintenance switch is located inside the panel. By switching to manual operation, the individual motors can be operated separately, e.g. during maintenance.
