The egg tray production line includes a pulp manufacturing system, a pulp molding machine, a dryer, and a packaging system. This process demonstrates how waste paper can be utilized to create egg trays that are environmentally friendly, durable, and affordable. Due to these features, egg trays are in high demand for storing and transporting eggs in supermarkets, restaurants, and homes.
In this article, we will detail the complete egg tray production process, including the equipment and materials required. In addition, we offer quality equipment and a variety of paper tray making solutions. If you are interested in starting an egg tray manufacturing business, please feel free to contact us!
raw materials for egg tray production line
The main raw material for egg trays is waste paper, which is easily available and inexpensive. This usually includes packaging materials such as waste newspapers, waste cardboard, and paperboard boxes.
It is best to ensure that the waste paper is clean, free of contaminants, and uniform thickness.
Water is another important material used in the preparation of pulp. It is vital to have a reliable, uncontaminated water source of consistent quality.
Final product display
After a series of egg tray production lines, you can finally get the lightweight, strong, and good moisture absorption of the environmental protection egg tray. In addition, the cost of making egg trays is low and economical. A variety of sizes and shapes of paper trays can be produced to fit different sizes and types of items.
egg cartons making plant workflow
The whole egg tray production line workflow is automated. It includes the following series of machines: pulper machine → egg tray forming machine → drying machine → egg tray baler.
Among them, the baler is optional equipment, you can choose whether to buy it according to the situation.
In addition, you can choose an egg tray heat press machine, which makes the surface of the egg tray smoother and better selling.
main machines for making paper trays
Depending on the customer’s needs in terms of production capacity and product size and shape, we manufacture different models of each machine in the egg tray production line. Tell us what you need and we will recommend the best machine for you.
paper pulping machine
The pulper machine disperses and evenly mixes the fibers of the pulp through agitation, and then removes impurities through screening. This allows the pulp to reach the proper consistency and viscosity.
It usually only takes one worker to put waste paper and water into the machine at a ratio of 1:3. If you want to change the egg tray color, you can add a coloring agent here. This process provides the base material for subsequent processes.
pulp molding egg tray making machine
Pulp is first conveyed to the molding machine. It is then spread evenly over the surface of the mold using a stock chute to ensure even pulp distribution.
Depending on the mold used, the egg tray forming machines can produce trays of different sizes. The forming process is automated, ensuring consistency and uniformity of the trays produced.
drying machines
The dryer quickly removes moisture from the egg tray product that has been molded to the desired level of dryness. This process is necessary to ensure that the egg trays are strong and can withstand the weight of the eggs.
There are various methods of drying egg trays, depending on the scale of production, available resources, and climate.
We have three types of drying equipment to choose from, including continuous multi-layer egg tay dryers, drying rooms, and brick kiln drying.
Egg Tray Baling Machine
The egg tray baler can automatically pack egg trays in a neat and orderly manner according to set specifications and stacking methods for storage, transportation, and sales.
It not only improves the packing efficiency but also ensures the overall quality and appearance of the products.
Egg tray heat press machine
The egg tray hot press machine makes the surface of the already molded egg tray become smoother, firmer, and stronger by heating and applying certain pressure, which sells better.
It also helps to ensure that the egg tray products are not easily deformed or broken during transportation, storage, and use.
technical parameters of egg tray making machines
Egg tray production line machines are designed for high-volume production of paper trays and the output depends on the size and design of the machines. Different models of egg tray machines have been developed to process from 1,000 to 7,000 paper trays. Here are the main parameters for your reference.
