Ecopolymer screw compactors for waste compaction
The Ecopolymer company is a leader in the production of screw compactors in Ukraine.
We offer various models of screw compactors for pressing and briquetting of waste.
With the help of our equipment, foam plastic (EPS, Styrofoam) and other foamed materials are best pressed. As well as plastic, cardboard, various packages, aluminum cans and even wood.
We will select for you the optimal solution for compaction and briquetting of waste, whether it is dry or wet waste.

What is a screw compactor and why is it needed?
A screw compactor is a device that compresses various materials in order to facilitate their storage or transportation.
The equipment consists of a hopper into which the material is loaded; a preliminary shredder that grinds it; and an auger that presses it into dense blocks (briquettes).
In this video you can see the EPS screw compactor in action.
History of development of Ecopolymer EPS screw compactors
The story of the birth of Ecopolymer screw compactors begins with the fact that we received an interesting order from a European company. This company works in the fishing industry and has accumulated large volumes of fish boxes made of foam plastic (styrofoam, EPS).
Therefore, the challenge was to produce equipment that would significantly seal this spent foam packaging.
We set to work with enthusiasm and curiosity. Overcoming difficulties and obstacles in the process of designing and manufacturing. The result was the first Ecopolymer EPS screw compactor.
After that, we managed to successfully develop and install many reliable compacting machines for various industries: fishing, construction, waste processing, etc.
The geography of supplies of our equipment outside of Ukraine covers most of the European countries.
What materials are pressed by our compactors
In addition to foam and foamed materials, such as EPS, EPP, EPE, XPS, PUR, our equipment has proven its usefulness when pressing other materials as well.
Ecopolymer screw compactors press paper, various packaging, light metals and wood.
After pressing, these materials can be sold to produce new products from plastic, paper, metal and wood.
Compaction saves space in warehouses, waste containers, and trucks for removal. Thereby saving your money and protecting the environment.
Briquetted waste of foamed materials has up to 90% less volume than uncompressed material
We compact the remaining materials into convenient pressed blocks
Storage and processing of production waste (such as pieces of plastic, wood, foam, etc.) costs space and money. With the Ecopolymer screw compactor, you will save both of these resources! We guarantee quality pressed blocks with consistently high density.
Saving space, saving costs and the opportunity to earn extra
Thanks to Ecopolymer screw compactors, you can:
– save space in the warehouse;
– reduce costs for waste removal and disposal;
– to make a profit from the sale of ready-made compacted blocks.

Ready-made blocks are easily carried and transported
After passing through the screw compactor, compressed foam (EPS, EPP, EPE, XPS, PUR) takes up much less space and is much better transported.
The EPS screw compactor compresses foam packaging in a ratio of 50:1‼️
That is, before, it took about 50 trucks to remove foam plastic waste, and now – one truck‼️
Great advantages of equipment, specifically from Ecopolymer
- High compaction speed due to high pressure;
- Low energy consumption due to the torque of the screw;
- No heating is required, friction of the material is used instead, it saves electricity;
- Durable and comfortable equipment, created for heavy daily work.
Ease of operation and ease of management
We have put our experience and our know-how into this equipment and made it extremely easy to work with.
An ordinary worker, regardless of the level of education, can undergo training and easily work with the Ecopolymer EPS screw compactor.
We individually develop screw compactors for the needs of your company
Our screw compactors compress materials such as foam plastic, wood, paper and metal, as well as biomass into dense blocks without the use of a binding agent.
Depending on the intended use of the blocks, machines can be configured to produce blocks of a given size and shape.
All models are robustly built, require minimal maintenance and can be easily integrated into your production line.
