Egg Tray Production Line Manufacturer

Egg tray production line illustration with pulping, forming and metal drying equipment

An egg tray production line converts waste paper and other suitable fiber materials into molded pulp egg trays through pulping, forming, drying, and finishing. AGICO provides egg tray production line configurations with capacities ranging from 1,000 to 10,000 pieces per hour, supporting different production targets and factory conditions.

Choosing the right production line involves more than comparing the forming machine's output. Pulping capacity, forming efficiency, drying performance, and available workshop space all need to be considered when planning the complete line.

Note: Actual production capacity depends on egg tray dimensions, product weight, mold configuration, operating conditions, and drying performance. The final equipment combination should be confirmed according to project requirements.

 

How Equipment Combinations Affect Production Capacity

 

A production line's output depends on how well its main equipment works together. Three factors are particularly important when selecting a configuration.

 
 

Pulping Capacity

The hydraulic pulper processes waste paper, old newspapers, cardboard, and other suitable fiber materials into pulp for forming. Pulper capacity, raw material characteristics, and pulp supply stability all affect subsequent production. Matching the pulping capacity to the forming machine helps maintain a consistent pulp supply and supports continuous operation.

 
 
 

Forming Capacity

The egg tray forming machine uses dedicated molds to shape wet egg trays through pulp suction, dewatering, and demolding. Machine configuration, mold quantity, tray specifications, and forming cycle all influence actual output. Selecting a suitable forming machine requires matching the required tray dimensions and product weight with the target production capacity.

 
 
 

Drying Capacity

The drying system removes moisture from wet egg trays. Its processing capacity depends on factors such as initial moisture content, tray specifications, heat supply, and drying time. Drying performance should be matched to the forming machine's output to prevent wet trays from accumulating between production stages and to maintain stable line operation.

 

 

Drying Options for Egg Tray Production Lines

 

The drying method affects workshop space, labor requirements, energy consumption, and the time needed to produce finished egg trays. AGICO offers four main drying options for different operating conditions.

1

Natural Drying

Natural drying uses sunlight and outdoor air to remove moisture from formed egg trays. It requires relatively little equipment investment and is suitable for small-scale production or locations with favorable weather and sufficient outdoor space.

2

Brick Drying Line

A brick drying line uses a constructed drying tunnel or chamber to provide a more controlled drying environment. Heat is supplied to the drying area to remove moisture, allowing trays to dry without relying entirely on outdoor weather conditions. This option can suit projects that require a dedicated drying area and an organized production layout. 

3

Single-Layer Metal Drying Line

A single-layer metal drying line conveys wet egg trays through a heated drying system on a single conveying level. It provides a more organized drying process than outdoor drying and is suitable for production projects that require mechanical conveying and continuous material movement.

4

Multilayer Metal Drying Line

A multilayer metal drying line conveys trays through several drying levels, making better use of vertical space and supporting higher production capacities. It is suitable for medium- to large-scale egg tray plants that require continuous drying and a relatively compact equipment footprint.

Notes: 1. The above data is calculated according to the weight of each egg tray of 100g. 2. The above data is calculated as pure pulp without adding stone powder. If 20-30% stone powder is added, the actual consumption of paper is 70-80% of the above data. Contact us for more details.

From Paper-Based Raw Materials to Molded Pulp Egg Trays

 

Egg trays are commonly produced from recyclable paper-based materials, including waste paper, old newspapers, and corrugated cardboard. Other suitable fiber materials may also be considered depending on local raw material availability and product requirements.

 

The production process typically includes:

Raw Material Preparation → Pulping → Egg Tray Forming → Drying → Collection and Stacking

 

After the paper-based materials are processed into pulp, the pulp is shaped using dedicated molds and then dried before the finished trays are collected and stacked.

When planning a production line, paper characteristics, egg tray design, and drying conditions should all be considered.

What to Confirm Before Choosing an Egg Tray Production Line

 

Before selecting a production line, buyers should clarify the following project requirements:

 

  • Target output: Expected hourly capacity and daily production hours.
  • Egg tray specifications: Tray dimensions, number of egg cavities, product weight, and mold requirements.
  • Raw material availability: Types of waste paper or other suitable fiber materials available locally.
  • Drying conditions: Local climate, available energy sources, workshop layout, and drying space.
  • Factory utilities: Electricity, water supply, fuel availability, and drainage arrangements.
  • Future production plans: Whether the line may need to accommodate higher output or additional tray specifications later.

 

These details help determine the appropriate combination of pulping, forming, and drying equipment rather than selecting a machine based on output alone.
