Raw materials for egg tray production line

The primary material needed for making egg trays is waste paper, which can include cardboard boxes, newspapers, books, and magazines. These materials are readily available and inexpensive. It’s important to ensure that the paper is clean, free from contaminants and has a consistent thickness.

Water is also essential in the egg tray production process, as it is used to create the pulp. Having a reliable source of clean water is vital for maintaining consistent quality.

In the pulp manufacturing process, chemicals such as sodium hydroxide, sodium silicate, and aluminum sulfate are utilized. These chemicals assist in breaking down the paper fibers, making it easier to shape them into egg trays. The specific amount and type of chemicals used will vary based on the kind of paper and the desired quality of the egg tray.

Workflow of egg tray manufacturing plant

The process of an egg tray manufacturing plant goes through the following steps in sequence: pulp manufacturing → pulp molding → drying → packaging. This usually contains pulpers, egg tray machines, dryers, heat presses, packaging machines, etc.

The production lines for egg trays can differ significantly, leading to variations in the machines used for each stage. For instance, the drying process might involve a metal dryer, brick kiln drying, or even natural air drying. In the case of a semi-automatic egg tray machine, the processes of drying, hot pressing, and packing are all performed manually.
