Egg Tray Production Process

Don’t struggle with how to dispose of many waste cardboard boxes, magazines, paper, and old books.

Let's Get Started

Market Analysis and Size

Rising chicken is one of the agendas that make farmers rich. In every village, you will find a chicken farm no matter the farm is small or large. An inclusive chicken farm needs these equipment water supply equipment, heating equipment, ventilation equipment, and so on. As we all know, egg is an easily broken type of food. Thus, it is challenging to transport it. So, it requires egg trays which help us to avoid these problems. Egg trays can protect the egg from the external situation. It can also protect the eggs from damage which can occur due to dampness and illumination, so using egg tray can reduce the loss and these factors drive the growth of the egg tray market.

Highlights Of Paper Egg Tray

Raw material

The raw materials mainly come from waste paper, such as newspapers, book paper, waste cartons, corrugated paper, paper mill scraps, etc. These waste products are sold very cheaply. We can reuse some of the raw materials and make them through pulp molding equipment. The price of various paper pallets has doubled several times. Such as egg trays, fruit trays, wine trays, medical device slippers, shoe trays, various industrial packaging paper trays, etc. Since paper trays are generally one-time products, the market industry demand is huge and the profit margins are also large. A good project for the future development of the pulp molding industry.

Process

The production process of paper egg trays is simple, pollution-free, fast in production, and has an efficiency of 98% to 99%. Raw materials are easy to obtain and the technical requirements for operators are low.

Performance

Paper egg trays are green and safe, with good anti-static, anti-corrosion, waterproof, and shock-absorbing properties. It has a high reusability rate and can be recycled and reformed.

Investment Cost & Profits

The capital investment in paper egg trays is relatively small, the profits are high, the cycle is short, and the risks are low. In addition to equipment costs, the main costs in the production process include electricity, water, raw materials, labor, maintenance, etc.

Example : China market 3000 pieces/h drying

The above is the drying cost calculation of 3,000 pieces per hour for reference only and may be based on local price conditions.

Detailed Paper Egg Tray Manufacturing Process

FIVE STEPS TO PRODUCE EGG TRAYS WITH  EGG TRAY MANUFACTURING EQUIPMENT

The egg tray manufacturer process is easy,which can be divided into five steps: paper pulping, pulping mixing, egg tray molding, egg tray drying, and egg tray packaging. 

1. Paper Pulping

The raw materials can use waste paper, including book paper, old newspapers, scraps, old cartons, etc.
The ratio of water to paper is about 1:10. After running the hydraulic pulper for 20-30 minutes, the waste paper becomes pulp.

2. Pulping Mixing

Prepare the concentration slurry in the mixing tank, add water to adjust to the appropriate concentration, and add corresponding pigments according to the needs of the egg tray, like some stone powder, fine sand, etc. to increase the weight of the egg tray.
Quality trays need to be added with some waterproof glue to make them waterproof and moisture-proof and increase the hardness.

3. Egg Tray Molding

The main equipment is a forming machine, which is equipped with a vacuum pump, air compressor, water and gas separation tank, and air storage tank. Under the power of the vacuum system, the finished pulp enters the forming machine to form a tray. At the same time, the excess water is sucked out through the water and gas separation tank. and stored in water storage tanks.
The mold material can be customized as aluminum mold or the mold can be customized according to different trays, such as egg trays, fruit trays, shoe trays, etc.
The trays are blown from the forming mold to the transfer mold and then sent to the dryer.

4. Egg Tray Drying

The egg tray after demoulding is semi-dry, with a moisture content of about 30%. To enhance its sturdiness and stability, excess moisture needs to be dried.
There are three drying methods: natural drying, brick kiln drying, and metal drying machine (including chain type and box type).

5.Egg Tray Packing

The dried egg tray needs to be packaged for storage or transportation. Packaging systems include collection machines, automatic counter systems and packaging machines. After passing through the automatic counter and packaging machine, a certain number of egg trays are compressed and packaged, saving storage and transportation space, and maintaining the shape of the egg trays.
