Styro Solve™ dramatically reduces the volume of polystyrene foam (EPS, Styrofoam).  Both food service material and packaging material can be reduced.  Made from a blend of  natural and biodegradable ingredients that are environmentally safe, Styro Solve makes recycling polystyrene a cost effective reality.  Styro Solve softens and dissolves expanded polystyrene releasing the air trapped in the "foam" leaving a dense, space-saving material called polygel.  The polystyrene in the polygel is chemically unchanged.  The polygel can be recycled again and again.

The Solution Machine was designed specifically for use with the Styro Solve.  There are several different models for different uses.

SM1100 was designed for individual use in a cafeteria setting.  This is the smallest model Solution Machine.  When the student/individual finishes their meal the remaining trash on the food tray is empted into a trash can and the front door of the machine is opened.  The polystyrene is fed into the opening and the door is closed.  At this time the SM1100 begins to shred the polystyrene and as it drops into the bottom container it is sprayed with Styro Solve which is pumped into the spray system from a 5 gallon container stored in the bottom of the machine.  The bottom pull-out drawer is lined with an ordinary plastic trash bag to collect the waste.  Immediately the Styro Solve begins to reduce the waste and convert it into "polygel".  When the trash bag is full it is removed and stored in a container such as a fiber drum and held for shipping to the recycler.

SM2200 is a top load machine also designed for cafeteria or small warehouse use.  It is slightly taller and has a lid that opens for filling the hopper. This machine is useful in places where stacking or collection is preferred.  With this machine one person is all it takes. The top of SM2200 is opened and the hopper is filled, the top is then closed and the machine will shred and spray with the Styro Solve that is stored in the bottom in a 5 gallon container.  The waste collects in the bottom pull-out drawer the same as the SM1100.  Storing of "polygel" is done in the same way. 

SM3300/SM3500 can handle very large pieces of polystyrene such as packaging material, end-caps and such.  This machine can be used with a conveyer system for filling.  It is placed over a gaylord into which the shredded polystyrene is collected and sprayed.  When the gaylord is filled another is placed under the machine.  The Styro Solve is pumped into the spraying system from a drum.  When 4 or more gaylords are filled they are shipped to the recycler. SM3300/3500 is available with or without the top de-bulker attachment
