Foam recycling to create new venture for Manuplas

Since January 2012 Manuplas has recorded a £15K saving on waste removal costs after investing in specialist foam compacting technology provided by Excell Environmental Solutions, Aylesford, Kent.


Supported by Business Link’s Improve Your Resource Efficiency (IYRE) Manuplas secured funding from The European Regional Development Fund to contribute towards the cost of the compactor. 

Since commission, the compactor has produced approximately 60 dry, contamination free foam “logs”.   Collaboration with local attraction, Dartmoor Zoological Park, has enabled a perfect partnership to be built.  Manuplas supplies the zoo with “logs” to be used for animal enclosures and pathways whilst at the same time drastically reducing their own carbon footprint. 

Heger foam compactor technology allows processing of all foams including cross-linked EPE foam of which this application required. The machine supplied was a Lion 300 B1400 EPE, EPS, compression system delivering a compression ratio of up to 50:01.

Excell Environmental Solution and Manuplas conducted machine trails using their own material to ensure machine performance. The test and training facility is reputedly one of the largest in the UK and made open to any prospective customer.

The compactor will enable Manuplas to make cost savings of up to £50,000 per year.

Manuplas’ long term goal is to eventually use the recycled foam material within their own products for which trials are already in place.

Major Polish Tyre Recycling Plant Chose ITS Granulator

ITS has supplied a granulator model ITS170/67, installed as part of a complete tyre recycling facility in the Orzel SA, Poland. 



Orzel SA, very much a family business, established in 1984 and listed on the Warsaw stock exchange, have been active in the tyre market since 1998 specialising in the following areas; automotive services, wholesale tyres, online sales and the collection and recycling of used tyres.

WIL AG consulting and engineering have been contracted to design, construct and commission this 25,000 ton tyre recycling turn-key facility. The ITS170/67 was selected because it has an extremely low total granulating function cost, reduced maintenance and operational costs therefore increased productivity, providing increased revenue per hour.

The ITS170/67 is driven by a 160kW electric motor connected via V belts to a large flywheel. This grinder will process 2000 kg/hr of pre-shredded car and truck tyre pieces 20mm in size down to around 0 - 5mm. The special staggered rotor blade geometry offers an extremely smooth and gradual cutting action requiring very low energy consumption compared to traditional straight blade granulators. The maintenance of this machine is extremely simple and quick to carry out.

After the recycling process any steel or fluff textile is removed leaving a clean ground rubber. A portion of the product is selected by a sieving system and subdivided into various particles sizes to obtain batches with a uniform granular consistency depending on the final destination of the product. A part of the granules, around 4mm in size, will further be processed down to 0 - .08 mm to be used in other applications.

The ground rubber output, as 2 - 5mm fraction, is used in road surfacing as part of the asphalt mix. This size is also suitable for the production of street furniture and anti-shock pavements used in children’s play fields or in running tracks and other sports fields such as tennis or basket courts. The .08 - 2mm fraction is used in the manufacture of soundproofing and anti-vibration panels for the construction industry and under railways to absorb vibrations.

ITS is a dynamic Italian owned and operated company with more than 15 years consolidated experience to the recycling industry, specialising in the design, manufacture and worldwide supply of granulators and other ancillary machinery for the size reduction of plastics and rubber to include other types of material.
Excell Environmental Solutions Limited, size reduction systems specialists to the plastics, wood and paper recycling industries represents ITS in UK and Ireland.

ITS granulators range from single machines with installed power ranging from 22kW to 250kW to include complete turn-key installations designed to process specific products into granules and powder.
