Box Drying for Small-Scale Egg Tray Production

A box drying machine for egg tray uses a metal drying chamber and multi-layer racks to remove moisture from freshly formed molded pulp egg trays. It is suitable for small-scale production and manual egg tray production lines, offering a compact drying arrangement without requiring a continuous conveyor dryer.
AGICO provides carts and drying racks for this setup, with customizable chamber height and length to suit different installation spaces and handling requirements.
How the Box Dryer Works
Wet egg trays are placed manually onto multi-layer drying racks. Operators then move the loaded racks into the drying chamber, where heat removes moisture from the trays. After drying, the racks are taken out for subsequent handling.
This rack-loaded arrangement combines chamber drying with manual loading and movement, making it suitable for production setups that do not require a continuous drying system.

Drying Racks and Customizable Chamber Size
Multi-layer drying racks help organize wet egg trays during chamber drying, while carts support manual movement between the forming area and the dryer. Chamber height and length can be customized according to the available workshop space and rack arrangement.
The forming line output, rack configuration and drying requirements should be considered together when selecting the setup. This helps determine whether the drying arrangement can support the intended production workflow.

Fuel Options and Natural Drying
The box dryer can be configured around locally available fuel options, including coal, diesel, natural gas and LPG. Fuel availability, operating costs and site conditions can help determine the most suitable heating arrangement.
For production sites affected by seasonal weather, box drying can also complement natural drying. Natural drying may be used when conditions are favorable, while chamber drying provides an additional option during rainy or humid periods.
Box Dryer FAQ

No. Wet egg trays are loaded onto drying racks manually, and the loaded racks are moved into the chamber by operators. The arrangement is semi-automatic.
Q: Can the chamber dimensions be customized?
Yes. The chamber height and length can be customized according to the installation space and rack arrangement.
Q: Can the box dryer work with a manual egg tray production line?
Yes. This drying arrangement is intended for manual egg tray production lines in the 1,000–2,500 pcs/h range. The actual drying configuration should be assessed according to the forming output, tray characteristics and drying requirements.
