As core equipment in egg tray manufacturing, the selection and configuration of paper egg tray machines directly impacts production efficiency and product quality. This article systematically introduces equipment classification, process flow, and core advantages to help companies optimize production decisions.

Diverse equipment types adapt to various production needs
Fully Automatic Intelligent Production Line
The ZMDT5×12 fully automatic paper egg tray machine represents industry leadership. With a rated power of 4 kW, it can achieve a stable output of 5,000-6,000 eggs per hour. This machine integrates full automation from raw material input to finished product sorting, ensuring product consistency while significantly reducing labor requirements, making it an ideal solution for large-scale production companies.
Economical Semi-Automatic Equipment
For small and medium-sized production scenarios, the DT4×4 semi-automatic machine, with a power of 3 kW, offers an output of 2,200-2,500 eggs per hour. By optimizing human-machine collaboration, this equipment maintains reasonable production output while its modular design significantly improves maintainability and ease of operation.
High-Efficiency Drum Production System
The DT4×8 drum machine features an innovative 40-position design, achieving a medium-to-high production speed of 3,500-4,500 pieces/hour at a power consumption of 4 kW. Its continuous drum operation not only ensures stable production but also improves product quality by optimizing heat transfer efficiency. It is particularly suitable for manufacturers with high demands on both production capacity and quality.
Egg Tray Production Process
Raw Material Selection
This process uses waste paper, including old newspapers, cartons, and magazines, as its primary raw material. This type of raw material is not only cost-effective but also environmentally friendly, effectively reducing resource waste through recycling and reuse.
Pulping Process
After the waste paper is shredded into fibers by a hydraulic pulper, it undergoes fine screening and refining. During this process, specific additives can be added to improve pulp quality, and the pulp concentration can be adjusted to optimize subsequent molding.
Molding Process
Using vacuum adsorption technology, the pulp fibers are evenly adsorbed onto the metal mold surface, resulting in precise molding of wet egg trays. This step has a decisive impact on the final product specifications (including dimensional accuracy and wall thickness uniformity) and initial structural strength.
Drying Process
Utilizing a multi-heat source drying system (optional: gas, diesel, steam, or thermal oil), the optimized drying process improves the product's mechanical strength while significantly shortening the drying cycle and controlling energy consumption.
Packaging Process
After drying, the egg trays are manually collected and efficiently compressed and packaged by specialized packaging equipment. Scientific packaging solutions ensure the convenience and integrity of products in warehousing, logistics and bulk sales.
