Theory of Operation:

Foam sheet, planks and cut-outs can be compressed into rigid, high bulk-density logs that can be easily handled or stacked.  Converting foam to up to 30 lbs./ft3 bulk weight, the AC compactor provides a clean and efficient method to handle scrap and significantly reduce disposal or transportation costs.  Employing a patent pending compacting technology, the AC compresses foam scrap into a square log.  The outer surface of the log is heated, creating a thin, rigid outer shell that maintains the brick shape.  logs are continuously pushed out and cut to a preset length, adjustable from 8” to 48”, making it possible to palletize and ship the scrap affordably.  Unlike baling systems, no strapping is required, dust and debris are reduced, and the logs can be fed directly into most grinders or shredders for recycling.
