BartonTech EPS C50
Compact polystyrene compactor with 40:1 compression ratio. Ideal for smaller operations.
Product detailWhy compact polystyrene
Polystyrene is light but takes up a huge volume – you are mostly transporting air. Once compacted, the material has a density of 200–400 kg/m³, so it becomes worthwhile to store and transport and can be handed over for recycling.
Who compactors are for
For electronics and furniture retailers, builders' merchants, packaging manufacturers, logistics centres and recycling yards – anywhere polystyrene packaging or offcuts pile up. The machine is simple to use and can be run by one person.
EPS C50 and EPS C200 models
The smaller BartonTech EPS C50 compacts at a ratio of 40:1 and produces 200 × 200 mm blocks; it is available with electronic or manual control. The larger EPS C200 processes 50–200 kg of polystyrene per hour and produces 380 × 380 mm blocks.
Frequently asked questions
What kind of polystyrene can be processed?
The compactors process expanded polystyrene (EPS) – for example packaging from electronics and appliances or offcuts of insulation boards. We will gladly check the suitability of your specific material.
How much space does a compactor take up?
The EPS C50 measures 2000 × 600 × 1700 mm and weighs 690 kg. The larger EPS C200 is approximately 5.4 m long.
What happens to the compacted blocks?
The blocks are stacked on a pallet and taken away for recycling. Thanks to their high density, transporting them is worthwhile.
