In the egg tray production process, the egg tray making machine is one of the most crucial pieces of equipment. Our company specializes in providing a full range of egg tray forming machines to meet various customer needs in terms of capacity, automation level, and budget. This article introduces the working principle, raw materials, finished products, model options, and pricing of our egg tray machines to help you find the ideal solution for your production.
What Is an Egg Tray Forming Machine?
An egg tray molding machine is used to mold paper pulp into egg trays, fruit trays, and other pulp packaging products. It is widely used for packaging chicken eggs, duck eggs, quail eggs, and can also produce paper cup holders and fruit trays.
Our machines use advanced mold forming technology and can be integrated with pulping systems, drying systems, stacking, and packing units to form a complete egg tray production line.
Applicable Raw Materials and Final Products
Our egg tray making machines are suitable for various types of waste paper, such as:
- Newspapers
- Used cardboard
- Kraft paper
- Magazines and books
- 30-cell egg trays (most common)
- 6-cell, 12-cell egg cartons
- Trays for duck and quail eggs
- Disposable paper cup holders
- Fruit trays and industrial paper trays
Egg trays and other types of paper trays are mainly used to support and protect items such as eggs, fruits, and cups, preventing breakage or damage during transportation and handling. They effectively secure products in place and provide excellent cushioning, making them an ideal eco-friendly packaging solution for fragile items.
Egg Tray Production Process Overview
The egg tray manufacturing process includes the following steps:
- Pulp Preparation: Waste paper and water are mixed and crushed by a pulping system to create uniform paper pulp.
- Pulp Molding: The pulp is vacuum-formed on metal molds using the egg tray making machine.
- Drying: The wet trays are sent through a drying system to remove excess moisture and finalize their shape.
- Shaping & Packing: Optional hot-pressing machines enhance appearance; the trays are then packed by a packing machine.
Working Principle of the Egg Tray Molding Machine
Our egg tray making machines use a vacuum suction molding process: pulp is sucked onto molds using a vacuum pump, shaped under pressure, and then released by air blow or a mechanical push-off system.
The entire operation is highly automated, offering consistent product quality, high efficiency, and low energy consumption.
