GLOSSARY

Foam Compactor

A machine that mechanically compresses loose foam into denser blocks.

A foam compactor reduces the storage and shipping volume of loose foam without using the hot-melt process of a densifier. In the GREENMAX Apolo and Zeus ranges, foam is crushed, compressed and extruded into blocks by a screw mechanism.

A stated compression ratio describes a model and test material, not a guaranteed result for every feedstock. Compare capacity, accepted materials and block requirements when choosing a machine.
