The paper egg tray production line efficiently transforms waste paper into biodegradable, environmentally friendly egg trays. This green, sustainable process can be used for egg packaging, fruit trays, coffee cup trays, industrial cushioning packaging, and more.
raw materials and end products of the egg tray production line
Egg trays are primarily made of paper pulp, which has a wide range of sources, including old newspapers, cardboard, and other types of waste paper. The paper egg tray production line is adaptable and has low production costs. It is also easy to obtain raw materials and has good environmental protection benefits, which aligns with the current development trend of green packaging.
This equipment can efficiently produce a variety of pulp molded products through the processes of pulping, molding, drying, and packing. Customers can control the shape, color, and thickness of paper trays according to specific production requirements by replacing molds and adjusting the production process, achieving diversified customization.
Pulp-molded products include egg trays, apple trays, coffee cup trays, shoe trays, and inner trays for electronic products. These products are widely used in food packaging, industrial protection, logistics, transportation, and many other fields.
Maximize Returns with Shuliy Egg Tray Manufacturing Plant
The Shuliy egg tray production line has a capacity of 1,000 to 7,000 pieces per hour and can efficiently convert waste paper into high-value packaging products. The production cost of a single egg tray is only about $0.026-$0.04, and the selling price in the international market can be about $0.07-$0.10, or even higher. The profit margin for a single egg tray can be as high as 150%-250%!
- The equipment uses a wide range of cheap, easy-to-get raw materials and provides quick results at a low cost. Each ton of waste paper costs about $210 and can produce about 12,500 egg trays.
- The equipment is simple to operate and saves on manpower. The average labor cost per piece is about $0.003.
- Low energy consumption: The egg tray making machines are energy efficient. The average electricity cost per egg tray is about $0.003.
- There are multiple drying options. Choose the best drying option according to your local climate and fuel market.
- You can customize the finished products by choosing the shape, size, and color of the trays. Each kilogram of fuel can dye 3,000–4,000 egg trays; therefore, the cost of adding color is less than $0.0006 per tray.
Detailed Working Process of Egg tray Manufacturing
A complete egg tray production line consists of four modules: pulp making, egg tray molding, drying, and hot press packing.
Pulp Making: Pulper, pulp pump, agitator
- The pulper mixes waste paper and water at a ratio of 1:10 to make pulp. This pulp is then put into the mixing tank.
- Pigment, waterproof glue, and other additives are introduced into the tank to modify the pulp.
- The modulated pulp is then pumped into the pulp supply tank, where water is introduced to dilute the pulp consistency to 3%-5%, satisfying molding requirements.
Egg Tray Molding: Egg Tray Molding Machine, Vacuum Pump, Air Compressor
- With the help of the vacuum pump, the mold of the egg tray molding machine closely adheres to the pulp, forming a wet egg tray.
- The excess water from the pulp is discharged through a stainless steel filter and enters a pool of water for reuse.
- The air compressor blows the molded, wet egg trays onto a moving belt for the next drying stage.
Drying of the wet egg trays:
After demolding, the egg trays need to be dried to enhance their structural stability and overall strength. The Shuliy egg tray production line supports various drying methods, including manual drying, civil tunnel drying, and a multi-layer metal drying system. These methods can meet the production capacity requirements and site conditions of different customers.
We can design the most suitable drying plan and production line layout according to your site’s size, budget, and local climate conditions to help you achieve efficient, energy-saving production.
Hot Press & Packing: Hot Press Machine, Push Stacking Machine, Baler
- The hot press compresses the egg trays more tightly and flatterly through high temperature and high pressure, improving compression resistance and aesthetics.
- The stacking machine automatically groups the egg trays into piles according to the set quantity (e.g., 100 piles) to improve efficiency and facilitate counting.
- The baler packs and traps the stacked egg trays, which makes them easier to transport.
