What Is an Egg Tray Making Machine?
An egg tray making machine is specialized pulp molding equipment used to convert waste paper into eco-friendly paper egg trays and other molded fiber packaging products. Using materials such as old newspapers, cardboard, cartons, and office paper, the machine processes recycled paper into pulp, forms it into specific shapes through vacuum molding, and then dries it into durable, lightweight, and biodegradable products.
The machine is widely used for manufacturing egg trays, egg cartons, fruit trays, cup carriers, seedling trays, and industrial packaging inserts. By simply changing the molds, one production line can produce a variety of molded pulp products to meet different packaging needs.

Raw Materials
Egg tray making machines can utilize a wide range of low-cost recycled paper materials, including old newspapers, corrugated cartons, cardboard, office waste paper, magazines, paper scraps, and used paper packaging. These readily available raw materials are processed into pulp and transformed into durable, eco-friendly molded fiber products. By recycling waste paper, manufacturers can significantly reduce production costs while contributing to sustainable packaging and environmental protection.

Egg Tray Production Process
Pulping
Waste paper such as newspapers, cartons, and cardboard is mixed with water and processed into a uniform pulp slurry in the pulping system.
01
Vacuum Forming
The prepared pulp is transferred to the forming machine, where vacuum suction shapes the pulp into wet egg trays according to the mold design.
02
Drying
The wet trays are dried to remove moisture and gain sufficient strength. Available drying methods include natural drying, brick kiln drying, and metal drying systems.
03
Stacking & Packing
After drying, the finished egg trays are automatically stacked and packed for storage, transportation, or direct sale.
