Complete Egg Tray Production Process

1. Pulping System

Waste paper and water are mixed in the hydrapulper to produce uniform paper pulp. Additives can also be added according to product requirements.

Suitable raw materials include:

• old newspapers

• waste carton paper

• office paper waste

• book paper

• corrugated paper

Waste paper is processed into uniform pulp through hydraulic pulping, screening, and mixing.

Ensures fiber consistency and product strength

2. Egg Tray Forming System

The pulp is transferred to the rotary forming machine. Through vacuum adsorption, the pulp is molded into wet egg trays.

The rotary system provides:

• stable production

• high efficiency

• low maintenance

• continuous operation

3. Drying System

The wet trays enter the automatic metal drying line.

Available heating options:

• Natural gas

• Diesel

• LPG

• Biomass

The drying system ensures:

• uniform moisture removal

• strong finished products

• stable product quality

High-precision pallets

4. Automatic Stacking

After drying, the finished egg trays are automatically counted and stacked, reducing labor costs and improving production efficiency.

A standard egg tray line follows this pulping → forming → drying → stacking workflow for stable production
