How to Manufacture Egg Trays Automatically?

Advantages of Automatic Egg Tray Making Machine
The benefits of automatic egg tray making machine are obvious. For example, fewer workers are needed to run the whole plant. Let’s have a review.
1. More Effective – Save Time and Labor Cost
Let’s take the drying system for example. Workers need to transfer the trays manually and then place them in a certain area to dry. It is slow and labor-intensive. More than that, it takes about 4 hours to dry trays naturally at 38-40 degrees. But if you use a brick or metal dryer, the trays will be transferred by a conveyor belt. Then about 20 minutes later, you can get the dried trays. Below are videos for your comparison.

2. High Output
As shown in the table, the hourly output can reach up to 6,500 pieces. For the same model, the automatic one will be more productive. Taking BTF4-8 for example, you can produce 1000 more pieces of egg trays per hour.
3. Easy Operation – Lower Error Rate
Firstly, fewer workers are needed. Machines do the most work instead of workers. Besides, it can lower the error rate. Below are videos of automatic egg tray machines, which employ automatic packing system.

4. Easy to Ship, Install & Maintain
There will be less construction work for a fully automatic egg tray machine, especially when you have a metal dryer. The installment process is easy. Moreover, it takes short time. Compared to brick dryer, there isn’t fundamental work for a metal dryer. When in the running process, it is easy to operate and maintain.
5. Less Land Required
If you dry the trays naturally, you need at least 500 square meters for a BTF1-3 machine. Leave a message to us and get the details now.



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 features. 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. Below are the main differences:
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 machine, wet products are manually placed on the racks for natural drying. Then it will take 4-6 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 BTF4-12 automatic egg tray machine.

Fully Automatic Egg Tray Making Machine Price
Beston egg tray machine price is from 11,000 USD. It will be different with the capacity, equipment, custom design, molds, etc. For the same model, the fully automatic egg tray making machine price will be higher. However, it will save money from other aspects, for example, labor costs. Besides, it will make more trays in a shorter time. If you have an automatic drying line, then you won’t need too much space to dry the trays to lower your space cost. Especially, the metal dryer can be multilevel to save your space. So do not rely on the price only during your purchase.
Beston Tips
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 3,000+ trays per hour, the automatic model will be your best choice. For a large egg tray plant, it will be more cost-effective. Of course, small egg tray machine, like BTF1-3, BTF1-4, BTF3-4, and BTF4-4 can be automatic as well. Below is a video of BTF4-4 egg tray machine in Mali.
2. Your budget
How much you are going to spend on this project? Beston egg tray machine price starts from 8,000 USD. But it will differ with different machines. When you do the cost estimate, you need to take the machine price, operating cost, fuel cost, etc. into consideration.
3. Is it expensive to hire workers?
In general, you need 4-8 workers to run an egg tray production line. It is important to know the local salary. If it is expensive, you can consider buying an automatic one to lower the operating cost.
4. Do you have enough space?
For natural drying, you will need more than 500 square meters for a small egg tray machine. While if you have limited land, you can have an automatic dryer instead. Below is a layout design for your reference.


How to Distinguish the Automation Level of An Egg Tray Machine?
There are four main sections of a complete pulp molding production line. They are pulping system, molding system, drying system and packing system. Among them, molding system mainly means pulp molding machine. While the paper pulp forming machines from Beston Group is fully automatic. However, the automation level here we talk about refers to drying system. We have four drying modes to choose. They are natural drying, brick drying line with carts or conveyor belt and metal drying line with a conveyor belt. The former two are semi-automated, while the latter ones are fully automated. Moreover, we can also supply customers an automated packing system, including hot press machine, packer, counter, etc. All these machines can be provided individually or completely.

Advice to Buy An Automatic Paper Egg Tray Machine
Of course, it is of great significance to concern about the egg tray machine price. But it is not the only thing you should consider. Besides, the costs of an egg tray production line also contain maintenance fee, labor input, energy consumption and so on. A fully automated production line has many advantages, like low labor strength, high output. However, it is more suitable for large-scale investors. If you want to be a professional supplier of paper trays and you have enough money, a fully automatic machine will be very helpful. However, you’d better buy a semi-automatic egg tray machine, if you just want to produce 1000 pieces of egg trays for your own chicken farm. We suggests investing what fits you most. If you not sure, just tell us your requirements. We will propose the most suitable investment plan for you.
