Egg Tray Manufacturing

PAPER PULPING, MOLDING, DRYING, AND PACKING

With the growing global demand for poultry farming and fresh eggs, the use of egg trays is also rising. Consequently, investing in egg tray production lines has become increasingly popular. Paper egg trays, in particular, offer excellent performance at a low production cost. The manufacturing of paper egg trays is a commercial venture with significant development potential and high profitability.

Market Advantages Of Paper Egg Tray

Plastic Egg Tray

It relies on expensive plastic and recycled plastic as raw materials.

 Its air permeability and shock absorption properties are inferior. 

Generally, the water used in the production process cannot be reused. 

Plastic egg trays are challenging to degrade and harmful to the environment

The pollutants and emissions produced cause significant environmental damage.

Paper Egg Tray 

It utilizes inexpensive waste paper as the raw material. 

The production process generates little to no pollution.

 Typically, the water used in production can be recycled.

 The trays have excellent air permeability and shock absorption properties.

 Paper egg trays are biodegradable, recyclable, and environmentally friendly

Step-by-Step Process for Manufacturing Paper Egg Trays

PAPER EGG TRAY MANUFACTURING PROCESS INCLUDES FOUR STEPS: PULPING MOLDING, DRYING, AND PACKAGING.

 Paper Pulping Process:-

Firstly, workers manually feed waste paper into the hydraulic pulper, sometimes with the help of a belt conveyor. Inside the pulper, the paper is agitated, rubbed, and broken down with water, typically in a ratio of 20%-30% water to 70%-80% paper, until it turns into pulp. Once the pulp is formed, it goes through a screening process to remove impurities, after which the clean pulp is sent to a pulp storage pool. Adjacent to this pool are mixing tanks, where pulp beaters blend the pulp to achieve uniform consistency. During this stage, pigments and other additives can be incorporated. The number of mixing tanks can be adjusted based on the scale of production.

 Paper Egg Tray Molding Process :-

The egg tray molding process begins after the pulping stage. The pulp pump transfers the paper pulp into the slurry hopper located beneath the egg tray-making machine. Utilizing a vacuum pump system, the paper pulp is securely drawn onto the rotary mold, where it takes shape. At the same time, this system removes some of the moisture from the pulp. The extracted water is collected in a tank, ready for reuse. Next, the air compressor system helps detach the shaped egg trays from the molds, and they are then transported by a belt conveyor to the drying system. Once these steps are completed, the mold is cleaned by a specialized cleaning device.

 Paper Egg Tray Drying Process:-

The paper egg tray drying process is essential for thoroughly dehydrating the trays to enhance their strength and shock resistance. There are three primary drying methods: natural drying, brick drying, and metal drying.

  1. Natural Drying: This method involves leaving the egg trays to dry under sunlight or in a room with ambient temperature conditions.

  2. Brick Drying: This approach requires constructing a brick kiln, typically ranging from 25 to 65 meters in length. The trays are dried inside the kiln by evaporating moisture at elevated temperatures. Various fuels such as natural gas, coal, diesel, and wood can be used as the heat source. The egg trays can be loaded into the kiln manually or via a belt conveyor, depending on the desired level of automation.

 Paper Egg Tray Packing Process:-

The paper egg tray packaging process primarily involves three key stages: hot pressing, counting, and packaging. Initially, the egg trays are fed into a hot press machine, where they undergo smoothing of the surface, thickness uniformity, and edge polishing at high temperatures. Following this, the trays are automatically counted and packaged in specific quantities by a counter and packer. If labeling or adding a pattern to the egg trays is required, you can enhance your egg tray production line with a labeling machine or printing machine.egg tray production flow chart
