Machine Advantages for Apple Tray Production
PLC-Controlled Forming System
The PLC control system coordinates the forming process, supporting organized operation and consistent production of molded pulp apple trays.
CNC-Machined Aluminum Alloy Molds
AGICO provides customized aluminum alloy molds processed by CNC machining to meet different apple tray dimensions, cavity layouts and packaging requirements.
Multiple Production Capacities
Different machine configurations offer production options for varying output targets. Buyers can compare hourly capacity, mold quantity and power requirements to select a suitable model.
Flexible Drying Solutions
Natural drying, civil drying systems and automatic metal drying lines are available for consideration based on production targets, workshop conditions and local climate.
Multi-Product Production
With compatible equipment and interchangeable molds, the machine can produce different molded pulp tray designs, including apple trays and other fruit trays, offering flexibility for future product expansion.
Match the Machine to Your Apple Tray Design
Apple trays vary according to fruit size, carton dimensions and packaging requirements. These differences affect the forming mold and the machine configuration required for production.
Before confirming a machine, consider the following:
- Apple size and cavity dimensions: Determine the cavity diameter, depth and spacing required to hold the apples securely.
- Tray layout: Confirm the number of cavities per tray and the overall tray dimensions.
- Mold configuration: Check that the mold layout is compatible with the selected machine and its mounting arrangement.
- Product requirements: Provide a sample, drawing or reference image so the tray design can be evaluated before mold production.
AGICO can assess the required tray design and help determine a suitable mold configuration for the intended production setup.
Check Drying Capacity Before Finalizing the Machine
Natural drying
May be suitable where outdoor or ventilated drying space is available and a longer drying period is acceptable.
Civil drying systems
Can be considered for projects with suitable building space and a planned drying arrangement.
Automatic metal drying lines
Suitable for projects seeking a more continuous and organized production setup.

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.
The drying system should be selected according to the forming machine's output, the required production capacity and available workshop conditions. Matching forming and drying capacity helps maintain a smooth production flow and avoid bottlenecks during operation. AGICO can help evaluate a suitable drying configuration based on your production targets and project requirements.
What to Confirm Before Ordering an Apple Tray Making Machine
To help determine a suitable machine configuration, prepare the following information before requesting a quotation:
Target production capacity: Required hourly output and daily operating hours.
Apple tray specifications: Tray dimensions, cavity layout, apple size and available product drawings or samples.
Existing equipment: Whether the project requires a complete production line or only a forming machine and supporting equipment.
Workshop conditions: Available installation space and the planned equipment layout.
Utilities: Available electricity, water and fuel options, where applicable.
These details help AGICO evaluate the forming machine, mold configuration and drying system together, rather than selecting equipment based on rated capacity alone.
FAQ
1. What raw materials can be used to produce paper apple trays?
Paper apple trays can generally be made from suitable recycled paper fibers, such as waste paper, old newspapers and cardboard. Other plant fibers may also be considered depending on the required product properties and pulp preparation process.
2. Can one machine produce different types of fruit trays?
Yes, a compatible machine may produce different tray designs by changing the forming molds. However, the feasibility depends on the machine configuration, mold dimensions and production requirements of each product.
3. How do I choose the right apple tray making machine?
Start with the required hourly output and apple tray specifications. Then compare machine capacity, mold quantity, installed power and labor requirements. The drying system and available workshop conditions should also be evaluated before finalizing the configuration.
4. Can AGICO provide a complete apple tray production line?
AGICO can provide equipment for the main stages of molded pulp production, including pulping, forming and drying, with additional equipment selected according to project requirements. The final configuration depends on the target output, tray design and site conditions.
