Egg Tray Packing Equipment

Egg tray packing equipment is the critical solution for optimizing the final stage of a complete egg tray production line, a step that can easily become a major efficiency bottleneck after the pulp molding products pass through pulping, forming, and drying. The method used to quickly, accurately, and neatly collect and pack the large output of finished trays directly impacts labor costs, storage efficiency, and transportation expenses.

To address the different needs of various production scales, automation levels, and final packaging requirements, we offer two core equipment solutions for your packing needs: the automatic egg tray stacker and the vertical egg tray baler. Each machine is designed to solve a different challenge at the end of your production line.

Automatic Egg Tray Stacker

As seen in the image, the automatic stacker is a standard component in modern, high-efficiency egg tray manufacturing plants. It is installed directly at the end of the egg tray drying system’s conveyor belt, automating the counting and stacking of dried trays for a seamless, automated workflow.

How It Works:

1. Automatic Conveying: Dried egg trays are smoothly transported from the end of the dryer onto the stacker’s conveyor.
2. Precise Counting: Built-in sensors automatically count each tray as it passes.
3. Neat Stacking: Once the preset quantity is reached (e.g., 100 trays per stack), the mechanism neatly organizes them into a compact, uniform stack.
4. Orderly Output: The finished stacks are then pushed out to a collection area, ready for workers to perform the final strapping or bagging.

Core Advantages:

• High Automation: Eliminates the need for manual counting and stacking, replacing 1-2 workers and significantly reducing labor costs.
• Increased Efficiency: Its operational speed is synchronized with the output of the forming machine and dryer, ensuring a smooth, uninterrupted production flow and maximizing the line’s overall capacity.
• Accurate Counting: Completely prevents human error and fatigue-related miscounts, guaranteeing the exact quantity in every package.
• Uniform and Professional Stacks: Machine-stacked trays are consistent in height and tightly packed, which simplifies warehouse management and enhances the final product’s appearance.

Vertical Egg Tray Baler

For some manufacturers, the primary concern isn’t counting but rather reducing the storage volume and transport costs of the finished egg trays. Our egg tray packing machine is an economical solution designed specifically for this purpose.

This is a standalone, easy-to-operate egg tray packing equipment. A worker first places a manually collected stack of egg trays into the baler’s chamber. The machine then uses powerful mechanical or hydraulic force to compress the loose stack into a dense, compact bale.

How It Works:

• Manual Loading: An operator places a stack of egg trays (e.g., 100-200 pieces) into the baling chamber.
• Initiate Compression: With the press of a button, the machine’s platen moves downward, applying pressure to the trays.
• Bale Formation: The volume of the egg trays is significantly reduced as they are compressed into a tight block.
• Strapping and Removal: Once compressed, the worker can easily strap the bale with packing tape before ejecting the finished package.

Core Advantages:

• Significant Space Savings: Compressed bales can reduce the original volume by 30%-50%, leading to massive savings in warehouse storage space and truck loading/transportation costs.
• Low Initial Investment: Compared to fully integrated automation equipment, the vertical baler has a simpler structure and a lower upfront cost.
• Flexible Operation: As a standalone unit, it can be placed anywhere in the workshop and does not depend on the layout of the main egg tray machine line.
• Robust and Durable Construction: Features a simple design that is easy to maintain and built for a long service life.

How to Make the Right Choice for Your Production Line?

Choose egg tray packing equipment based on your purpose:

• If your objective is to increase the automation level of your entire egg tray manufacturing plant, reduce manual labor, and ensure counting accuracy, the automatic egg tray stacker connected to your dryer is the ideal choice.
• If your main goal is to cut down on storage and logistics costs for finished products with a lower initial investment, the vertical egg tray packing mahine will deliver an excellent return.

We understand that every customer’s needs are unique. We can design the optimal equipment combination for your specific output, factory layout, and budget—and can even integrate both machines for maximum efficiency.
