Description

Styrofoam reduction device {Styrofoam reduction device}

The present invention relates to a styrofoam reducing device, and more particularly, to a styrofoam reducing device that can be molded into various types of ingots.

In general, styrofoam refers to a material made by foaming polystyrene, and has excellent sound insulation, heat insulation, and buffering properties, and is widely used as packaging containers for each use and construction materials.

Although such a styrofoam has a very large volume compared to its weight, since it is a thermoplastic product, the volume becomes very small when subjected to a reduction process in which heat is applied, so that it is relatively easily recyclable.

A number of Styrofoam Reduction Machines have been proposed for this purpose, but there is a demand for Styrofoam Reduction Machines in various local governments, but the frequency of use of them has not been activated because efficiency problems or secondary pollution problems have not been solved.

In the prior art, since the waste styrofoam is merely crushed and discharged in a molten state, there is a limitation in that continuous operation is difficult. Therefore, in order to recycle the molten styrofoam, it is necessary to mold it in a certain standard in the form of an ingot.
