In the bustling economic landscape of Caracas, Venezuela, businesses are constantly seeking efficient ways to manage industrial byproducts. For O.M.G. QUIMICOS, C.A., a company dealing with large volumes of expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam—the challenge was clear: find a financially viable and sustainable solution for their bulky foam waste. This is the story of how they found the right plastic granulator for sale in Caracas and turned a persistent problem into a profitable opportunity.

The Challenge: Managing Bulky E Waste in Caracas

Like many businesses, O.M.G. QUIMICOS was burdened by its EPS foam waste. The material’s low density and large volume meant it occupied significant warehouse space. Furthermore, the costs associated with its disposal and transportation were consistently high, impacting the company’s bottom line. The search began for a robust machine that could not only process this “Anime” waste but also convert it into a reusable, valuable material.

The Solution: Shuliy’s Integrated Foam Pelletizing Line

After a thorough evaluation, O.M.G. QUIMICOS selected Shuliy Machinery’s Model 220+150 EPS foam pellet making machine as their comprehensive solution. The decision was based on several key features that directly addressed their needs:

  • Integrated Crusher and Extruder: The machine’s all-in-one design, incorporating a powerful crusher directly with the extruder, provides a seamless one-step process. This eliminated the need for a separate pulverizer, saving both initial investment and valuable floor space.
  • Efficient and Continuous Operation: With a capacity of 150-200 kg/h, the machine met their industrial production demands. Critically, it features an electric die head with a non-stop screen changer. This allows operators to change the filter screen without halting production, maximizing uptime and overall output. The double reducer system ensures stable, high-torque performance, essential for processing compacted foam.
  • Customized for Local Standards: Recognizing the specific industrial power requirements in Venezuela, the machine was configured to operate on a 220v/60Hz/3phase electrical system, ensuring a smooth and immediate integration into their facility.

The Result: From Disposal Cost to Profit Center

  • Drastic Cost Reduction: The recurring expenses for foam waste storage, handling, and disposal have been virtually eliminated.
  • Increased Operational Efficiency: The machine’s reliable performance and non-stop features have streamlined their waste management process, freeing up personnel and resources for other core activities.

As a representative from O.M.G. QUIMICOS, C.A. noted:”The machine from Shuliy works perfectly. The non-stop screen changer is a fantastic feature that saves us a lot of time. We are now turning our biggest waste problem into a profitable product.”
