Key Advantages of Automatic Egg Tray Machine for Sale

High Output
Equipped with highly automated production lines, egg tray production efficiency is significantly improved. Take BTF6-8 with a production capacity of 6,000 pieces/hour as an example. It can run continuously for 24 hours a day and the average daily output can reach 144,000 pieces.
Energy Efficiency
Adopt energy-saving technology, which only consumes 0.25 kWh per kg of egg trays. Additionally, the vacuum system of the molding process adopts our self-developed spiral pressurization technology, which can achieve the highest vacuum pressure with the smallest power.
Low Maintenance Costs
Our paper tray making machine is made of high-strength stainless steel and wear-resistant materials, with a lifespan of up to 15 years. Routine maintenance is simple, requiring only two hours monthly. Annual maintenance costs remain under 3% of the equipment’s original price.
Low Error Rate
Automatic egg tray making machine is controlled by a PLC electric control cabinet. Compared with traditional egg tray machine, our machine runs more smoothly and reduces the error rate.
Optional Accessories: Enhancing Egg Tray Production Efficiency
Selecting suitable accessories can significantly streamline production processes and improve operational efficiency. Customers can customize egg tray making machine with fully automatic configurations based on their needs. Below are several optional components.

Vibration Screen
The vibration screen effectively removes impurities from raw materials. This ensures that only clean and high-quality pulp enters the production line, improving the overall quality of the final pulp molding products.

Pulp Refiner
The refiner fine processes the pulp, making it finer and smoother. This contributes to a more consistent and high-quality egg tray, enhancing its durability and appearance.

Tray Stacker
The tray stacker ensures that the number of egg trays in each package is consistent, optimizing storage and transportation efficiency while maintaining uniformity throughout all the product batches.

Packaging Machine
The packaging machine compresses the egg trays to save space. This feature not only helps in maximizing storage but also makes transportation more efficient.
