Automatic Metal Drying Line Improves Your Efficiency

The automatic metal drying line heats the air using fuel and then evenly blows hot air at around 200°C onto the wet egg trays through the fan. This accelerates the evaporation of moisture to get dry finished trays. The entire drying process takes approximately 15-20 minutes.

How to Make Egg Tray? – Egg Tray Machine Working Process

01Waster Paper Pulping

The cardboard sheets are transported to the egg tray plant by the feeding system. The hydraulic pulper crushes the waste paper with water for 20 minutes (suggested proportion of 1:5 or 1:6), forming the paper pulp. The pulp is then adjusted for consistency in a homogenizer. The pulp flows into the finished pulp tank after uniform mixing.

02Egg Tray Molding

Under the action of the vacuum system, paper pulp enters the egg tray moulding machine. Excess water is separated through the water vapor separation tank. Then the pulp fibers begin to bond together to form the shape of egg tray inside the mold.

03Egg Tray Drying

The metal dryer begins to work to dry the semi-wet egg trays. Its special circulation fan and automatic dehumidification system drive hot air circulation to dry the wet egg trays. This ensures they meet the necessary quality standards.

04Egg Tray Packaging (Optional)

This process is generally optional. The scattered egg trays are transported to the stacker where they are neatly arranged into stacks. Then they are moved to the packer for final wrapping and encapsulation.

Components and Layout Design of Egg Tray Production Line

The paper egg tray making machine consists of a pulping system, forming system, drying system, and auxiliary system. These work together to create a continuous and efficient egg tray production process. The layout of the automatic egg tray equipment is for your reference:

How Paper Egg Tray Solves Pain Points in Egg Packaging Industry?

Paper Egg Tray Minimize Environmental Impact of Packaging

Minimize the Environmental Impact of Packaging

Unlike plastic and foam packaging, paper egg trays can be recycled, broken down in natural processes, and composted. This significantly reduces their negative environmental impact.

Paper egg trays can replace some plastic and foam packaging. This helps cut down waste landfills and lowers carbon emissions associated with production and disposal.

Effectively Reduce Product Loss

Paper egg trays offer excellent cushioning and shock absorption properties for the eggs. This minimizes egg breakage during transportation and reduces economic losses for producers and suppliers.

The paper egg trays’ air permeability and hygroscopic ability help keep eggs dry. This prevents mold growth and spoilage, ensuring eggs remain fresh and safe for consumption.
