Raw Materials and Finished Products
Applicable Raw Materials:
Our egg carton production line is designed to handle a wide range of raw materials, including:
- Waste newspapers
- Corrugated cardboard
- Used books
- Industrial paper scraps
This allows clients to use locally sourced waste paper instead of expensive virgin pulp, reducing production costs.
Types of Finished Products:
By changing molds, the egg tray production line can manufacture a variety of pulp molded items, such as:
- Egg trays: Commonly in 30-cell configuration, suitable for eggs, duck eggs, quail eggs, etc.
- Fruit trays: For packaging apples, kiwis, and other fruits
- Coffee cup holders: Widely used in takeaway beverage packaging
- Industrial trays: For electronics, hardware, and other fragile items
Product Color:
The color of the final products depends on the color of the raw material pulp. Common colors include grey, yellow, and light brown. Color additives can be used if needed.
We support custom mold design, thickness adjustment, and product specification matching, ensuring the output meets your specific market needs.
Egg Tray Production Process
The egg tray production line typically follows these steps:
1, Paper Pulping Machine
Waste paper is mixed with water and stirred in the pulper to produce a uniform pulp.
2, Tray Forming – Egg Tray Molding Machine
The pulp is formed into wet trays using vacuum suction and a metal forming mold, then transferred to a shaping mold.
3, Egg Tray Drying System
Wet pallets are dried by hot air metal drying channels or natural drying to ensure pallet strength.
4, Hot Pressing (Optional)
Enhances the appearance and smoothness of the trays, ideal for high-quality product demands.
5, Egg Tray Packing Machine
The dried trays are stacked and packed automatically or manually for storage and delivery.
