Paper egg trays are considered to be a sustainable packaging material as it is produced from recycled materials that can be used again and again after its useful life cycle. Paper pulp is mostly made from cheap raw materials like original wood pulp and waste paper such as old newspapers, books, and recycled paper products. The use of paper egg trays greatly reduces environmental pollution by cutting down on the use of plastic products. Paper egg trays provide excellent protection for the safe transportation and storage of eggs. That’s why paper pulp egg tray machines are getting popular around the world.
The paper pulp molding industry is developing very fast to meet the demand for products that are environmentally friendly, lightweight, and tough. With the wide application of paper trays, the rotary pulp moulding machine is becoming extremely popular. The egg tray machines can produce high-quality egg trays that are able to protect eggs from:
– damage
– micro-organisms
– mechanical shock during transportation, storage and handling deterioration from high temperatures
– moisture loss, natural or otherwise.
Type of Egg Tray Machine
– manual egg tray machine (producing between 1,000 and 1,500 pieces per hour);
– semi-automatic paper egg tray making machine (producing 2,000 – 5,000 pieces per hour);
– automatic egg tray making machine (producing 5,000 – 7,500 pieces per hour).
With so many egg tray making machines on the market, it may be confusing to know how to choose the best quality machine for your business. When purchasing a paper egg tray making machine there are certain major things to look out for. Below are some pointers to follow:
– The main factor in all manufacturing industries is safety. When manufacturing paper egg trays, it is important to make safety a priority. This includes purchasing a high-quality machine that has built-in safety features and appropriate circuit installation to ensure the safety of workers and to protect your valuable equipment. Machinery should always be thoroughly checked and well-maintained and any instability should be attended to by a professional technician.
– Ensure that the machine has a good quality control system to guarantee quality products, durability, and a long service life under stable working conditions.
– A qualification rate is important in all industries as a high qualification rate results in high production and efficiency. A top-rated egg tray machine will produce high-quality products.

– Pulping Process
During the pulping process, the raw materials are mixed with water to form a slurry that is used to form the egg trays.
– Molding Process
Using vacuum absorption and negative pressure the slurry is molded into egg tray shapes. Different molds can be used to produce other types of paper trays such as apple and other fruit and vegetable trays for example.
– Drying Process
During the drying process the wet, semi-finished molds are dried in either a metal or brick tray drying line. While if you have a small paper egg tray making machine, you can dry your trays naturally to lower the costs. A high-quality drying process is essential to minimize losses from poorly-formed trays.
– Packaging Process
A hot press machine is used to tightly pack large amounts of trays together, whereafter they can be packaged according to the requirements of the customer. A hot press machine provides a convenient way to package and transport paper egg trays. An automatic egg tray machine uses a fully automatic production process, including a dryer and hot press, and can produce 5,000, 6,000, and 7000 egg trays per hour. Of course, the fully automatic egg tray machine price will be higher than that of the manual and semi-automatic ones.
When starting an egg tray making business it is vital that you purchase a superior quality egg tray machine from the top pulp molding machine manufacturers China that will produce a consistent supply of high-quality egg trays that are in such high demand in the market.
