Advantages of Automatic Egg Tray Machine
The benefits of automatic machine are obvious. For example, you need fewer workers to run the plant to save your cost. Let’s have a brief review.
1. More Effective – Save Time and Labor Force Input
Let’s the drying system for example. Workers need to transfer the trays manually and then place to dry. It is slow and labor-intensive. More than that, it takes about 2 hours to dry trays naturally under good weather. But if you use a brick or metal dryer, a few minutes are enough. Drying is only a part, the packing system can be automatic as well. And the whole process is simple to operate. Below are some egg tray machine videos for your reference.
2. High Output
As shown in the table, the hourly output can reach up to 6,000 pieces. For the same model, the automatic one will be more productive. Taking BTF-4-8 for example, you can produce 1000 more pieces of egg trays each hour.
3. Easy Operation – Lower Error Rate
Obviously, the automatic machine is easy to operate. In addition, it can reduce the error rate. So you can get more high-quality trays.
4. Easy to Install & Maintain
There will be less construction work for a fully automatic egg tray machine. Also, you can maintain and update the system as you need.
Anyway, you can choose to automate any part of the egg tray production line. For example, you can choose an automatic packer, which can quickly pack the trays. Check the video below.
Fully Automatic VS Semi-automatic Models
The main differences between fully automatic and semi-automatic egg tray making machines are the drying and packing system. Each of them has its advantages and disadvantages. For example, the fully automatic egg tray machine price will be higher than the semi-automatic and manual one. But more importantly, it is more effective and labor-saving. What you need to do is to find the one that suits your needs the best.
Drying System
In terms of the automatic egg tray manufacturing line, we employ a conveyor belt to transfer the wet products into the drying room. While in a semi-automatic egg tray machine, wet products are manually placed on the racks for natural drying. Then it will take 2-3 hours to dry the egg trays under good weather.
Packing System
After drying, there is a counter and a packer at the end of the conveyor belt to pack the egg trays up automatically. It is advantageous in lessening the investment costs and increase production efficiency. While if you have a small scale industry, you can pack the egg trays manually. It will greatly save your investment cost. Here is a video about our BTF-4-12 automatic egg tray machine.
Fully Automatic Egg Tray Making Machine Price
As mentioned, the price for a fully automatic egg tray machine is more expensive. However, you will spend much less on the other aspects, for example, labor costs. Besides, it will make more trays in a shorter time. If you have a drying line, then you don’t need too much space to dry the trays to lower your space cost. Also, the metal dryer is multilevel to save your space. So do not rely on the price only. Before your purchase, we suggest you put the things below into consideration:
1. How many trays will you make per hour?
For example, if you want to make 4,000+ trays per hour, the automatic model will be your best choice. For large factories, it will be more cost-effective. Of course, it is not said that the automatic model is only for large-scale investors or large-scale investors only have one choice.
We supply various solutions and full service to choose from!
2. Is it expensive to hire workers?
In general, you need 4-6 workers to run the plant. It is important to know how much you will pay for workers. If it is expensive, the automatic model will save your cost in the long run.
3. What is the weather like in your area?
The weather matters space cost, especially for small egg tray machine with natural drying. Drying naturally requires good weather and more workers. If it often rains, you’d better have a brick dryer or metal dryer. By the way, try to know whether it is expensive to buy bricks. Below is a Beston automatic machine in Mali.
