Raw materials for egg tray production line
The main raw materials for an egg tray manufacturing plant are waste paper (like cardboard, newspapers, books, and magazines) and water. Waste paper should be clean, free of contaminants, and consistent in thickness.
In the pulp-making process, chemicals such as sodium hydroxide, sodium silicate, and aluminum sulfate are added to break down the paper fibers, enhancing the ease of forming egg trays. The chemical usage depends on the type of paper and the required product quality.



Workflow of egg tray manufacturing plant
The main workflow of an egg tray manufacturing plant includes four key steps: pulp making → pulp molding → drying → packaging.
Equipment involved typically includes paper pulpers, paper tray forming machines, dryers, heat presses, and packaging machines.
Depending on the production line, the drying process may use continuous drying machines, brick kilns, or natural air drying. In semi-automatic setups, drying, hot pressing, and packing are done manually.

Main equipment of paper tray production line
The equipment used in the egg tray manufacturing plant is capable of managing high volumes of egg tray production while maintaining product quality and consistency. So, what are the key pieces of equipment in the egg tray production line?

Pulping machine
Typically, just one worker is needed to mix waste paper and water in a 1:3 ratio, turning it into a fine pulp. If a color change is desired, colorants can be introduced at this stage.

Egg tray forming machine
Our egg tray machine comes in various models, with an output ranging from 1500 to 8000 pieces per hour, allowing you to select one that fits your requirements.

Drying machine
After demolding, the egg tray contains about 30% water, so it needs to be dried and cured. We offer various types of drying machines, including brick kiln drying and continuous drying. Each drying method comes with its own pricing and production efficiency. (Related Post: Egg Tray Dryer Multi-layer Continuous Drying Machine>>)

Heat press machine
The hot press is effective in further shaping the dried egg tray. After undergoing hot press treatment, the egg tray becomes tougher and more defined.

Packaging machine
Egg trays undergo inspection to identify any defects, including cracks, deformation, and uneven surfaces. Any defective trays are discarded, while the remaining ones are counted, stacked, and prepared for sale or use.
