In the egg tray production line, the drying link directly affects the quality of finished products and production efficiency. Especially for medium and large capacity production lines, the multi-layer continuous egg tray dryer is the ideal choice with its high efficiency, energy saving, and intelligent features.
The machine adopts an advanced hot air circulation system and an intelligent control panel, and supports multiple heating methods of oil, gas, electricity, or steam. It can dry up to 10,000 egg trays in 8 hours with fast and even drying speed, which makes it an indispensable core equipment for modern egg tray production.
Currently, there are three main methods of egg tray drying: natural drying, brick drying, and continuous drying. Next, we will introduce the different drying methods and the advantages of the continuous egg tray dryer for you in detail.
Features of continuous egg tray dryer
- Ultra-high speed capacity: single loading capacity is increased by 6-12 layers modular mesh belt design. 8 times higher drying efficiency than traditional brick kiln, daily capacity to meet 200,000 eggs packaging needs of large poultry farms.
- Energy consumption revolution: adopting exhaust gas heat recovery system (thermal efficiency ≥90%) and zoning frequency conversion air supply technology, the unit energy consumption is as low as 0.11kW-h/toe, compared with the traditional equipment, energy-saving 30%-40% energy saving compared with traditional equipment.
- Zero damage drying: Intelligent temperature field dynamic balance, wind speed graded adjustable. Ensure that the water content of the egg tray is reduced (compliance rate ≥98%), and the breakage rate <0.5%.
- All-round heat source adaptability: gas/steam/biomass/electricity multi-fuel compatibility, support for no boiler workshop directly connected to the production, carbon emissions are reduced.

Paper egg tray drying line working principle
Multiple energy sources to heat the air
The equipment can choose fuel oil, gas, electricity or steam (heat-conducting oil) as the heat source according to the actual demand to heat the air and generate hot air.
Hot air circulates to heat the egg tray
The heated hot air is evenly blown to the drying area, heating the egg tray in all directions and accelerating water evaporation.
Water vapor is discharged in time
The built-in powerful fan will quickly draw out the water vapor evaporated from the egg trays to keep the drying environment dry, which helps to improve the drying speed and efficiency.
Continuous running structure
Adopting single-layer or multi-layer continuous conveying structure, the egg trays can be conveyed continuously in the drying channel without manual handling, which enhances the production capacity.
Intelligent control system
The system can automatically control the temperature, wind speed and conveying speed to realize a stable and controllable drying process and ensure the quality of finished egg trays.

Structure of the egg tray drying system
The egg tray drying system mainly includes the host box, heating equipment, fans, pipes, chains, sprockets, mesh trays, etc. The whole machine is stable in operation, safe and reliable, fast in drying, and high in automation.

Egg tray sorter
In the egg tray production line, the finished egg trays are dried. Then immediately followed by the sorter machine to organize and collect the trays. This process ensures that the egg trays are neatly stacked and ready for subsequent packaging and transportation. The picture below shows the actual effect in operation.

Other dryer machines for egg trays
Shown below are two other egg tray drying methods. We can recommend them according to the output of your egg tray production line and the size of your site. And, we can also help you with the design when you choose brick kiln drying.
