Challenges in Production & Weather-Dependent Yield

The client operates a paper packaging business in Latin America and previously ran a Beston BTF 4-4 egg tray production line (2,500–3,000 pcs/h). As business grew, several operational challenges emerged during daily production:

  • Low automation & yield: The manual handling and low automation level limited capacity, making it difficult to guarantee a steady, reliable supply for large clients.
  • Weather constraints: Heavy reliance on natural drying caused sharp output drops during bad weather, blocking their goal of delivering 30,000+ egg trays per day.
