The egg tray molding machine, as the core equipment in the egg tray production line, directly affects the quality and efficiency of egg tray manufacturing. It is specially designed for producing egg trays from recycled paper pulp. And it uses a process known as pulp molding to form the trays that are designed to protect eggs during transport and handling. Here’s a general overview of how it works:
1. Material Selection: Waste paper products are commonly used, such as discarded magazines, boxes, books, etc. The raw materials are widely sourced, not only cost-effective but also align with environmental protection principles, enabling resource recycling.
2. Pulp Preparation Process: Waste paper (like newspapers, cardboard, or other paper materials) is shredded and screened, then mixed with water to form a slurry of a certain concentration. Chemical additives may be added during this process to prepare for the molding stage.
3. Molding Process: Through vacuum adsorption, the slurry evenly adheres to the specially designed egg tray molds, which are typically made of metal or plastic, forming semi-dry molded egg trays. The mold is designed in the shape of egg trays, with individual compartments for each egg. This process determines the shape and preliminary quality of the egg trays.
4. Drying Process: After the egg trays are formed, they are removed from the mold and set aside to dry the moisture inside. This step can be done using natural air drying or with the help of drying equipment (such as an egg tray dryer or oven) to speed up the process. Drying equipment typically uses heat sources such as gas, diesel, steam, and thermal oil to dry the semi-dry egg trays, giving them sufficient strength and stability.
5. Packaging Process: Once dried, the egg trays are ready for use in packaging eggs. Before that, they need to go through processes such as shaping, counting, and packaging to facilitate storage, transportation, and sales.
The egg tray molding machine typically comes with an automatic control system for precise operation, and it can produce various types of paper pulp products by replacing different molds, including egg cartons, fruit trays, cup trays, and other packaging solutions made from recycled paper pulp.
Various Egg Tray Machines To Meet Different Production Needs
AGICO is a professional supplier of egg tray making machines. We offer a variety of egg tray machines with different models and production capacities for our customers to choose from.
Low-capacity Egg Tray Machine
The output of a low-capacity egg tray machine is 1000-2500 pcs/h. It has a certain level of automation, and the price is affordable. It’s suitable for beginners or customers with limited funds and small-scale production needs. The models of AGICO’s low-capacity egg tray machines include DTF 3×1, DTF 4×1, DT 3×4, and DT 4×4.
Medium-capacity Egg Tray Machine
The output of a medium-capacity egg tray machine is 3000-6000 pcs/h. Its price is slightly higher, but it’s fully automatic with a drum-type working principle, which is suitable for medium-scale production with high efficiency, continuous production, and easy upgradability. The models of AGICO’s medium-capacity egg tray machines include DT 3×8, DT 4×8, DT 5×8, and DT 5×12.
Large-capacity Egg Tray Machine
The output of a large-capacity egg tray machine is 7000-10000 pcs/h. Its price is the highest, but it also offers the largest output, making it suitable for large-scale production and fully automatic production. The models of AGICO’s large-capacity egg tray machines include DT 6×8 and DT 8×8.
The Advantages Of AGICO Egg Tray Molding Machine
AGICO egg tray molding machines only require mold changes to produce different pulp products, such as cup trays, fruit trays, egg cartons, etc. This greatly enhances the versatility and flexibility of the equipment, allowing customers to expand their market and generate more profits.
Our egg tray molding machines can be flexibly paired with drying equipment based on production capacity and customer requirements to achieve optimal production efficiency and excellent production quality. For small-scale egg tray machines, a box-type drying system, which is simple to operate and cost-effective, can be selected. For medium to large-scale egg tray machines, brick kiln drying systems or high-capacity, fully automated metal drying systems can be chosen.
The egg tray molding machine produced by AGICO features a simple structure, making it easy to install, operate, and maintain. With detailed installation videos and operation manuals, along with our remote online guidance, customers in distant countries can smoothly complete the equipment installation and trial operation. During the subsequent production phase, we are always available to provide spare part replacements, such as molds, technical support, and equipment upgrade services.
AGICO is committed to the independent research and development and innovation of pulp product production equipment, providing systematic pulp product production solutions to customers worldwide. This includes layout design of production lines, equipment manufacturing, technical guidance, installation and commissioning, spare parts supply, and operation training, along with high-quality pre-sales, in-sales, and after-sales services.
