What Is An Egg Tray Machine?
This is the first question we should make clear. We can see various egg trays in the supermarket when we buy eggs. Except for different designs and sizes, there are trays made of different materials, such as plastic egg trays, paper egg trays, and even wood egg trays. Among them, paper egg tray is getting popular because of its advantageous features. For instance, it is light in weight. On the other hand, it is a kind of absolutely environment-friendly packaging product.
Egg Tray Manufacturing Process—How to Make Egg Trays From Waste Paper
Obviously, paper egg trays are made of paper pulp. To put it simply, an egg tray production line contains breaking scrap paper into pulp, forming pulp into paper trays, drying wet trays, and packing the end products. However, it is more complex about how to make egg trays from waste paper.
First Step— Making Pulp
The first step is to break waste paper, such as old newspaper, old cartons into paper pulp.
Second Step—Forming Trays
This is the key section of an overall pulp molding production line. The prepared pulp will be transferred through pumps into pulp molding equipment. With the use of vacuum pump and air compressor, paper pulp is molded in forming molds. Different pulp products can be formed by means of different molding dies. Then the transfer molds will demold the wet trays. In general, a good paper egg tray making machine can complete this section by itself smoothly. Thus, it is crucial to choose a paper pulp tray making machine.
Third Step—Drying Trays
By the way, the automation degree of an egg tray production line often refers to its drying system. Semi-automatic egg tray machines always employ natural drying or brick drying line with carts; while the full-automatic ones often use a conveyor belt. Which one is the best? It depends on many factors, such as your investment costs, the output of your paper tray making machine, etc. It sounds complex.
Fourth Step—Packing Trays Up
After drying, you can stack the end products up for sale. We have different equipment according to different requirements. The commonly used machines include hot press, packing machine, counter, etc. Among them, a hot press can make the appearance of end products smoother and more beautiful. While customers often adopt a packer to stack egg trays compactly so that it is easy to transport and store. Moreover, a counter is used to count the trays to improve the working efficiency. All in all, we can supply whatever you need. Better yet, the whole process is free from contamination.
