Review on Egg Tray Production Line
Below we will introduce the egg tray manufacturing line from the working process, equipment involved, end products, etc. Let’s review in detail!
Description
The complete egg tray manufacturing line makes egg trays from waste paper. It includes pulp making section, molding section, drying section, and packing section.
1. Pulp Making Section
This section aims to make quality pulp from waste paper. Firstly, it mixes 1 waste paper into 3 water to make paper pulp with a pulper. Then there is a pulp refiner to make the pulp more evenly. Also, you can add some additives. Then the pulp is prepared.
2. Pulp Molding Section
In this section, the pulp will be molded into trays. Beston uses a rotary pulp molding machine, which is automatic to operate. When the forming molds rotate to transfer mold, the trays are formed and then they will be demolded for drying.
3. Drying Section
This section aims to dry the wet trays. You can choose to dry naturally if you have a small-scale egg tray plant (less than 2000 piece/h). Or you can have a brick or metal drying line, which can dry the trays in 20 minutes.
4. Packing Section
After drying, you can stack the trays up manually for sale or for use. Also, you can use a hot press machine to make the trays smooth or have a packer to compress the trays to save the store or transportation space. While some may have an automatic packing system, which contains a counter, packer, etc.
Workflow
Here is a flowchart of egg tray manufacturing line, which shows the steps to make egg trays from waste paper.
Main Equipment
1. Pulper
Beston offers hydraulic pulper, which is powerful to break the waste paper into pulp. After that, the paper pulp will be mixed evenly with the pulp refiner. Except for that, there also pumps used. And you also need to build pools to store water and pulp. For small egg tray machines, we also have integrated pulp making system to choose from, which can greatly save your space and reduce construction works.
2. Egg Tray Molding Machine
Pulp molding machine is the key part of an egg tray production line. It matters the capacity, shape, scale of your egg tray plant, etc. Below are models of Beston pulp molding machines.
