Egg tray packing machine is designed to compress, bundle, and strap molded paper egg trays after drying. It is a practical packing solution for egg tray production lines, helping manufacturers organize a large number of trays into compact bundles for storage, transportation, and sale.

Our egg tray packing machine uses a pneumatic cylinder for compression. Each bundle can contain approximately 70–120 egg trays, with a packing capacity of 20–40 bundles per hour. It can be used as the final packing equipment for both small and large egg tray production lines.

What Is an Egg Tray Strapping Machine?

An egg tray packing machine is a piece of post-processing equipment used to pack dried paper egg trays. After the trays are produced and completely dried, they need to be stacked and bundled before transportation.

The machine compresses the stacked egg trays with a pneumatic cylinder and then allows the bundle to be secured with packing straps. Compression reduces the overall volume of the trays, making them easier to handle and transport.

Compared with completely manual packing, the machine provides more consistent compression and makes the packing process faster and more organized.

Egg Tray Packing Process

The packing process is relatively simple:

Dried Egg Trays → Stacking → Pneumatic Compression → Strapping → Finished Bundle

1. Stack the Egg Trays

The dried egg trays are collected and stacked together. Depending on the required bundle size, each stack can contain 70–120 egg trays.

2. Pneumatic Compression

The stacked trays are placed into the packing position. The pneumatic cylinder presses the trays from above, reducing the gaps between the trays and creating a compact bundle.

3. Strap the Bundle

After compression, packing straps are applied around the egg tray bundle to keep the trays securely together. If the egg trays need to be kept clean or transported over long distances, they can be covered with plastic bags after strapping.

4. Remove the Finished Bundle

The completed bundle can then be moved to the warehouse, loading area, or directly into a truck or container for transportation.

Why Use an Egg Tray Packing Machine?

After drying, egg trays are lightweight and usually produced in large quantities. If they are transported loose, they can be difficult to handle and may become scattered during loading and unloading. An egg tray packing machine compresses and straps multiple egg trays into neat bundles, making them easier to store, handle, and transport.

1. Pneumatic Compression for Compact Bundles

The machine uses a pneumatic cylinder to compress the stacked egg trays, reducing the gaps between trays and making each bundle more compact and uniform.

2. 70–120 Egg Trays per Bundle

According to the customer’s packing requirements, approximately 70–120 egg trays can be packed into one bundle, making them easier to handle and sell by a fixed quantity.

3. Improved Packing Efficiency

The machine can pack approximately 20–40 bundles per hour, meeting the packing requirements of egg tray production lines with different production capacities.

4. Easier Storage and Transportation

Packed egg trays are less likely to become scattered. The compact bundles are easier to handle manually, load and unload with forklifts, and transport by truck, while also helping make better use of transportation space.

5. Suitable for Different Production Lines

For production lines without an automatic stacking machine, manual stacking + egg tray packing machine can be used. For production lines equipped with a fully automatic metal drying system, an automatic stacking machine + egg tray packing machine can be used to reduce manual handling.

How Does the Egg Tray Strapping Machine Work with an Egg Tray Production Line?

The egg tray packing machine is normally installed at the end of the production process.

For a conventional egg tray line, operators collect the dried trays and stack them manually before placing the stack into the packing machine.

For a fully automatic egg tray production line with a metal drying system, an automatic egg tray stacking machine can be installed before the packing machine. The stacking machine collects and organizes the dried trays, while the packing machine compresses and straps them.

This combination provides a more efficient solution for customers who need higher production and less manual labor.

Where Is the Packed Egg Tray Used?

After packing, the egg trays are normally transported to farms, egg distributors, supermarkets, and other customers. Compact bundles are easier to move with workers or forklifts and occupy less space during transportation.

Proper bundling also helps prevent the trays from becoming scattered during loading and unloading.

Who Needs an Egg Tray Packing Machine?

The machine is suitable for:

• Egg tray manufacturers
• Paper pulp molding plants
• Egg packaging suppliers
• Poultry packaging businesses
• Commercial egg tray production lines
• Automatic egg tray production plants

Why Choose Our Egg Tray Bundling Machine?

We provide egg tray production equipment and supporting machinery for complete pulp molding solutions. According to your production capacity and drying method, we can recommend a suitable packing configuration.

For a basic production line, manual stacking + egg tray packing machine is an economical option.

For a fully automatic line, the recommended configuration is:

Egg Tray Forming Machine → Metal Drying System → Automatic Stacking Machine → Egg Tray Packing Machine

This setup combines automatic drying, stacking, and pneumatic compression to create a more streamlined egg tray production and packing process.
