Products Description
In today's rapidly developing economy, all industries are actively seeking innovative solutions to improve production efficiency and meet growing market demand. The egg tray production industry, an integral part of the egg supply chain, faces the dual challenges of capacity and quality. With the steady increase in global egg consumption, traditional production methods are no longer able to meet the demands of modern, large-scale production. Therefore, the introduction of automated, highly efficient, and energy-efficient production lines has become an inevitable trend in the industry.
The 10,000-per-hour egg tray production line is a cutting-edge manufacturing system designed to meet this demand. It represents the highest level of egg tray production, integrating high-speed operation, stable and reliable operation, energy conservation and environmental protection, and intelligent control. It not only significantly increases production capacity but also demonstrates outstanding value in terms of quality consistency, resource utilization, and long-term economic efficiency. Below, we systematically explain the operating principle, core features, significant advantages, and applicability of this production line, providing a comprehensive analysis of how it is redefining the egg tray production process.
Production Line Workflow
This production line is a fully automated integrated system, covering all processes from raw material processing to finished product packaging. It is divided into four core sections:
Pulping Section
A high-efficiency pulper is used to break down recycled waste paper and other raw materials into fiber pulp. Precisely adjusting the water and additive ratios controls the pulp's concentration, viscosity, and mechanical properties, ensuring the finished trays meet required strength and toughness.
Molding Section
The pulp is fed into a dedicated molding machine via a conveyor system. High-precision molds enable rapid replacement based on product requirements, enabling the production of egg trays in various sizes and shapes. Vacuum technology is used during the molding process to ensure uniform fiber distribution and a dense structure.
Drying Section
The wet preforms enter the drying system after molding. AGICO offers three drying methods: gas heating, electric heating, and waste heat recovery drying equipment. Users can flexibly choose based on their energy needs and environmental requirements. Drying temperature and time are both closed-loop controlled to ensure the product's moisture content meets standard and maintains shape.
Packaging and Stacking
After drying, the egg trays are cooled and conveyed, where they are counted, stacked, and packaged by an automatic strapping machine. The finished products can then be directly stored or shipped, significantly saving labor and time.
Core Features of the Production Line
This production line embodies advanced technological concepts and a solid foundation in design, manufacturing, and integration:
Ultra-High Capacity: With a stable output of over 10,000 egg trays per hour, it is one of the highest-capacity egg tray production lines on the market, particularly suitable for large-scale poultry and egg companies and professional packaging product manufacturers.
Fully Automated Operation: The entire line utilizes centralized PLC control with a human-machine interface (HMI), enabling complete automation from material loading to finished product packaging. This significantly reduces manual operations and mitigates quality fluctuations caused by human error.
Taiwanese Gear Dispensing System: Key stations utilize precision Taiwanese gear dispensers to ensure quantitative slurry supply and zero-error distribution, eliminating defects in finished products caused by uneven material flow and improving product consistency and yield.
Heavy-Duty Structural Design and High-Quality Drive: The main unit is welded from thickened 16# channel steel, ensuring strong rigidity, vibration resistance, and long service life. The drive shaft is precision-machined and tempered from 45# round steel, ensuring smooth operation and reliability at high speeds.
Preferred Brands for Key Components:
All bearings are Havalo, featuring high load capacity and wear resistance, effectively extending maintenance intervals.
The positioning slide is welded from heat-treated 45# steel plate for wear and impact resistance, ensuring precise mold closing.
All motors are sourced from leading domestic brands, offering high energy efficiency, low failure rates, and convenient after-sales service and replacement parts.
Pumps, valves, and pneumatic components are all renowned brands, ensuring long-term, stable system operation.
Strong raw material adaptability and product flexibility: The system can process common waste paper materials such as newspapers and cardboard boxes, as well as renewable fibers such as bamboo pulp and sugarcane pulp. By changing molds, the system can produce egg trays in various sizes, including 30, 60, and 90 grids, and can also be expanded to pulp molded products such as coffee cup holders, fruit trays, and medical packaging.
Core Value for Customers
Ultimate Production Efficiency
Highly automated and continuous production eliminates traditional production capacity bottlenecks, shortens order delivery cycles, and helps customers quickly respond to changing market demands.
Reduced overall costs
Labor costs are significantly reduced, maintenance intervals are extended, and parts replacement is convenient, effectively controlling downtime and repair expenses. Furthermore, the use of recycled paper as the primary raw material significantly reduces raw material procurement costs.
