As the global emphasis on environmentally friendly packaging increases, biodegradable paper egg trays have become a mainstream green packaging option, widely used by egg farms, food processors, and packaging suppliers.
Shuliy offers a wide range of egg crate making machines that help customers efficiently produce low-cost, environmentally friendly paper trays with good protective properties, promoting resource recycling and sustainable development. The thickness, color, shape, and size of the egg trays can be customized during the production process to meet the needs of different markets and customers.
What is the egg tray making machine?
An egg crate making machine, also known as an egg tray molding machine or an egg carton making machine, is used to produce molded pulp trays from recycled paper. These trays offer a safe and biodegradable solution for storing, transporting, and selling eggs.
The process involves three key stages:
- Pulping – Waste paper (newspapers, cartons, office paper, etc.) is broken down into pulp using a pulper.
- Molding – The pulp is vacuum-formed into egg trays using precision molds.
- Drying & Finishing – Wet trays are dried using natural sun drying or automated ovens, then stacked and packed.
