Foam Densifier Reduces Lin Engineering's Environmental Footprint
Foam Densifier Reduces Lin Engineering's Environmental Footprint
Lin Engineering uses a Foam Densifier to recycle foam and to help reduce our environmental footprint. This machine has helped reduce our overall waste by up to 75%. The foam is fed into the shredder by our specially trained employees. This machine can reduce foam to about a 90th of its original size. The shredded foam is heated and melted together before being poured into a rigid box. Once the container is full and cooled down, the foam brick is removed and put onto a pallet. Once the pallet is full it is sold and delivered to a company in Texas. These bricks are then recycled into new plastic products like pens, pencils, picture frames, and more.
