As a professional manufacturer, we provide different egg tray making machine models for small, medium, and large-scale production, with capacities from about 1,000 to 7,000 pieces per hour.<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Besides standard egg trays, the machine can also be equipped with different molds to produce other molded pulp packaging products, such as egg cartons, fruit trays, coffee cup trays, bottle trays, and industrial protective packaging.<\/p>    <h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Is an Egg Tray Making Machine?<\/h2>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The egg tray manufacturing machine is also known as a paper pulp molding machine. It uses waste paper as the main raw material and forms wet pulp into a specific shape through molds.<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The machine is widely called an egg tray machine because egg trays account for a large proportion of paper pulp molded products. Depending on the mold design, the same production system can be used to manufacture different types of molded pulp packaging.<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A typical egg tray production process consists of three main sections:<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\"><strong>Waste paper \u2192 Pulping \u2192 Pulp mixing \u2192 Pulp molding \u2192 Dewatering \u2192 Drying \u2192 Stacking \u2192 Packing<\/strong><\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The complete production process combines the pulping system, forming system, and drying system.<\/p>    <h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Does the Egg Tray Forming Machine Work?<\/h2>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The working process of an egg tray making machine can be divided into three main stages.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Pulping<\/h3>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Waste paper is mixed with water and processed by the pulper to make paper pulp. The waste paper and water are mixed at approximately a 1:10 ratio during pulping, the specific ratio may be adjusted based on actual circumstances..<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The pulp is then transferred to the pulp mixing tank. Colorants, waterproofing agents, or other additives can be added according to the requirements of the finished product.<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A pulp pump transfers the pulp into the supply tank, while additional water is added to adjust the pulp concentration to approximately 3%\u20135%.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Egg Tray Forming<\/h3>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The forming section mainly consists of the:<\/p>    <ul class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li>Egg tray forming machine<\/li>    <li>Vacuum pump<\/li>    <li>Air compressor<\/li> <\/ul>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The vacuum pump creates negative pressure. The pulp is sucked onto the forming mold through the stainless-steel mesh, while excess water is removed through the vacuum system.<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After dewatering, the wet egg tray takes shape on the mold. Compressed air then transfers the formed egg tray from the forming mold to the transfer mold and finally onto the tray or conveyor belt.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Drying<\/h3>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The newly formed egg trays still contain moisture and need to be dried before packing.<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Depending on the production capacity and customer&#8217;s site conditions, different drying solutions can be selected, including:<\/p>    <ul class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li>Natural sun drying<\/li>    <li>Drying box<\/li>    <li>Brick-built drying system<\/li>    <li>Multi-layer metal drying system<\/li> <\/ul>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After drying, the egg trays can be counted, stacked, and packed.<\/p>    <h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Can an Egg Tray Making Machine Produce?<\/h2>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although the main application is egg tray production, the paper pulp molding technology can be used for many types of molded pulp packaging.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Egg Trays and Egg Cartons<\/h3>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The most common products are molded pulp egg trays and egg cartons used to hold and protect eggs during transportation.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fruit Trays<\/h3>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Molded pulp fruit trays can be designed according to the shape of different fruits. They help cushion products and reduce collisions during transportation.<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The training material mentions applications for pears, apples, citrus fruits, pineapples, peaches, apricots, persimmons, tomatoes, and other fruits.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Coffee Cup Trays<\/h3>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By changing the forming mold, the machine can produce coffee cup holders and other molded pulp packaging products.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bottle Trays<\/h3>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Molded pulp bottle trays can be used for beverage bottles, wine bottles, cans, and similar products, providing positioning and cushioning during transportation.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Industrial Protective Packaging<\/h3>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Molded pulp packaging can also be designed for household appliances, electronic products, precision instruments, glass products, handicrafts, and other items that require positioning and cushioning protection.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Seedling Nutrition Pots<\/h3>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Suitable for:<\/p>    <ul class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li>Crop Seedling Pots<\/li>    <li>Flower and Tree Seedling Protection Covers<\/li>    <li>Square Trays for Silkworm Rearing<\/li> <\/ul>    <h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Different Types of Egg Tray Making Machines<\/h2>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the forming method, the equipment can be divided into three main types.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reciprocating \/ Flip-Type Forming Machine<\/h3>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is a relatively small egg tray forming machine with a production capacity of approximately 1,000\u20131,500 pieces per hour.<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is suitable for customers looking for a compact and cost-effective production solution. Besides standard egg trays, it can produce products such as coffee cup trays and egg cartons, especially products with a height of less than approximately 8 cm.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Rotary Drum Forming Machine<\/h3>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The rotary drum type is designed for medium and large-scale production. Its production capacity is approximately 2,500\u20137,000 pieces per hour.<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Compared with smaller forming equipment, it offers higher production capacity and stable operation and can also be used for molded packaging products within the corresponding mold dimensions.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reciprocating Industrial Tray Forming Machine<\/h3>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The industrial egg tray making machine is mainly used for industrial protective packaging. Different molds can be used to produce products with different sizes and heights.<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The production capacity is approximately 1,000\u20132,000 pieces per hour, depending on the size and shape of the molded product.<\/p>    <h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Main Auxiliary Equipment for Egg Tray Production<\/h2>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A complete egg tray production line requires more than the forming machine. Auxiliary equipment is used for pulping, pulp transportation, mixing, vacuum dewatering, compressed-air transfer, and drying.<\/p>    <ul class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li>Pulper: The <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/plasticrecyclingmachinery.com\/ja\/egg-tray-pulping-machine\/\">pulping machine<\/a><\/strong> breaks down waste paper and mixes it with water to produce pulp. Different pulper volumes and motor powers are available for different production capacities.<\/li>    <li>Pulp Agitator: The agitator is installed above the pulp tank and rotates to keep the paper pulp and water evenly mixed.<\/li>    <li>Vacuum Pump: The vacuum pump is used for pulp suction, forming, and dewatering.<\/li>    <li>Air Compressor: The air compressor supplies compressed air for transferring formed egg trays between molds and onto the conveyor or trays. Available configurations include screw air compressors and piston air compressors, depending on the forming machine model.<\/li>    <li>Pulp Pump: The pulp pump uses centrifugal force to transfer pulp between pulp tanks or to the forming machine.<\/li> <\/ul>    <h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Egg Tray Drying Methods<\/h2>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Drying is an important part of the paper egg tray production process. The appropriate drying method depends on the production capacity, available space, local climate, labor cost, and energy source.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Natural Sun Drying<\/h3>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fresh egg trays are placed on trays and drying racks and moved to an open area. Sunlight and natural wind are used to remove moisture.<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The advantage is that no fuel or heating energy is required, helping reduce production costs.<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, this method requires more labor, occupies a relatively large area, and production can be affected by weather conditions.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Drying Box<\/h3>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The formed egg trays are placed on galvanized trays and loaded into drying boxes using small carts.<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A drying box can accommodate approximately 10\u201312 carts, with each cart holding around 90\u2013100 egg trays according to the training material.<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The main advantage is that production can continue during windy or rainy weather, while the footprint is relatively small.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Brick-Built Drying System<\/h3>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this system, egg trays are conveyed into a drying tunnel and dried for approximately 15 minutes at around 180\u2013200\u00b0C.<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The drying tunnel is generally 40\u201370 meters long. Common fuel options include coal, wood, natural gas, and diesel.<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This method can be integrated with automatic conveying and offers a relatively lower construction cost than a multi-layer metal drying system.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Multi-Layer Metal Dryer<\/h3>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Egg trays enter the drying chamber through trays and pass through multiple drying layers.<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Its main advantages are a smaller footprint, relatively efficient energy use, and a higher degree of automation.<\/p>    <h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Egg Tray Making Machine Models and Specifications<\/h2>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We provide several egg tray making machine models to meet different production requirements.<\/p>    <figure class=\"wp-block-table aligncenter\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td>\u30e2\u30c7\u30eb<\/td><td>\u5bb9\u91cf<\/td><td>\u529b<\/td><td>\u96fb\u5727<\/td><td>Paper Consumption<\/td><td>Water Consumption<\/td><td>Drying Method<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>3X1<\/td><td>1,000 pcs\/h<\/td><td>38 kW<\/td><td>380V, 50Hz<\/td><td>80 kg\/h<\/td><td>160 kg\/h<\/td><td>Natural Drying \/ Drying Chamber<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>4X1<\/td><td>1,500 pcs\/h<\/td><td>38 kW<\/td><td>380V, 50Hz<\/td><td>120 kg\/h<\/td><td>240 kg\/h<\/td><td>Natural Drying \/ Drying Room<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>3X4<\/td><td>2000-2500 pcs\/h<\/td><td>55 kW<\/td><td>380V, 50Hz<\/td><td>200 kg\/h<\/td><td>400 kg\/h<\/td><td>Brick Kiln \/ Multi-Layer Drying<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>4X4<\/td><td>2500-3000 pcs\/h<\/td><td>60 kW<\/td><td>380V, 50Hz<\/td><td>240 kg\/h<\/td><td>480 kg\/h<\/td><td>Brick Kiln \/ Multi-Layer Drying<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>4X8<\/td><td>4000-5000 pcs\/h<\/td><td>95 kW<\/td><td>380V, 50Hz<\/td><td>320 kg\/h<\/td><td>640 kg\/h<\/td><td>Brick Kiln \/ Multi-Layer Drying<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>5X8<\/td><td>5000-6000 pcs\/h<\/td><td>95 kW<\/td><td>380V, 50Hz<\/td><td>400 kg\/h<\/td><td>800 kg\/h<\/td><td>Brick Kiln \/ Multi-Layer Drying<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>6X8<\/td><td>6000-7000 pcs\/h<\/td><td>120 kW<\/td><td>380V, 50Hz<\/td><td><\/td><td>960 kg\/h<\/td><td>Brick Kiln \/ Multi-Layer Drying<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Model Designation Explanation<\/h3>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The model of an egg tray making machine indicates the arrangement of the forming boards and molds. The first number refers to the number of molds on each forming board, while the second number refers to the number of forming boards.<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example:<\/p>    <ul class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li>3\u00d71: 1 forming board, with 3 molds on the board.<\/li>    <li>4\u00d71: 1 forming board, with 4 molds on the board.<\/li>    <li>3\u00d74: 4 forming boards, with 3 molds on each board.<\/li>    <li>4\u00d74: 4 forming boards, with 4 molds on each board.<\/li>    <li>4\u00d78: 8 forming boards, with 4 molds on each board.<\/li>    <li>6\u00d78: 8 forming boards, with 6 molds on each board.<\/li> <\/ul>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Therefore, 4\u00d74 means 4 forming boards with 4 molds on each board, while 6\u00d78 means 8 forming boards with 6 molds on each board. Generally, a larger mold and forming-board arrangement allows the machine to produce more egg trays during each working cycle, resulting in a higher production capacity.<\/p>    <h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Choose the Right Egg Tray Making Machine?<\/h2>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Choosing an egg tray making machine should be based on several factors rather than production capacity alone.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Required Production Capacity<\/h3>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First, estimate the number of eggs that need to be packaged every day.<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, if a region has approximately 1 million laying hens and the assumed laying rate is 90%, the daily egg output would be approximately 900,000 eggs. If one tray holds 30 eggs, approximately 30,000 trays would be required per day.<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This production requirement can then be compared with the hourly output of different egg tray machines to select an appropriate model.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Available Factory Space<\/h3>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The drying system can have a significant influence on the required space.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Local Energy and Fuel Conditions<\/h3>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Customers can choose different drying solutions according to locally available energy sources, including wood, coal, natural gas, and diesel for certain drying systems.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Product Type<\/h3>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you only need standard egg trays, a standard egg tray mold may be sufficient.<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you also want to produce egg cartons, coffee cup holders, fruit trays, bottle trays, or industrial protective packaging, the mold and forming configuration should be selected according to the desired product.<\/p>    <h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Frequently Asked Questions About Egg Tray Making Machine<\/h2>   <div id=\"rank-math-faq\" class=\"rank-math-block\"> <div class=\"rank-math-list\"> <div id=\"faq-question-1787044591460\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\"> <h3 class=\"rank-math-question\">What raw materials can be used for an egg tray making machine?<\/h3> <div class=\"rank-math-answer\">  <p>The training material specifies waste paper and water as the basic materials for the pulping process.
