Egg Carton Making Machine - 800-9000 pieces/h for Egg Packing

Egg carton making machine is an advanced piece of equipment designed to produce egg cartons from recycled paper materials. Paper egg cartons are completely degradable and pollution-free. With the development of the times, more and more companies decide to invest in egg carton machine to support sustainable development. Welcome to Beston Group to learn more information.

What Raw Material Can Be Used for Egg Carton Production?

The raw material of paper egg carton can be divided into three parts: pulp, water and additives. The paper-to-water ratio is 1:5 to 1:6.

Pulp

The most important raw material for paper egg carton production is recycled paper pulp. The pulp is typically sourced from used paper products, such as newspapers, cardboard, and office waste.

Water

Water is another critical component in the production of egg cartons. The water is mixed with the paper pulp to achieve the correct consistency for molding the cartons.

Additives

To enhance the quality of the egg cartons, manufacturers often add various chemicals to the raw material pulp, like waterproofing agents.

Four Steps of Egg Carton Making Machine to Make High-Quality Egg Carton

By following these steps, waste paper can be efficiently converted into eco-friendly paper egg cartons, achieving resource recycling and meeting market demand for biodegradable packaging.

01Pulping

First, raw materials are sent to hydraulic pulper. After 20 minutes, the crushed raw materials flow to a pulping pool by gravity. Then water and chemical additives are added to adjust the mixture. The pulp is then filtered to remove impurities, making it ready for use in egg carton production.

02Molding

Under the power of vacuum system, the prepared pulp is fed into the molding machine. In the molding system, the pulp is injected into specially designed egg carton molds. Through compression molding techniques, the pulp is shaped into a preliminary wet egg carton.

03Drying

The wet egg cartons are transferred via a conveyor belt into a metal dryer. Then they are subjected to high temperatures to ensure thorough dehydration. Drying time is about 17-18 minutes. This process not only removes moisture from the wet cartons but also enhances the durability and structural integrity of the egg cartons.

04Packaging (Optional)

Finally, the dried egg cartons are sent to a automatic collector and a baler machine to pack. The compressed egg cartons are then sorted and labeled, ready for storage or direct shipment to customers.
