Differences of Semi-automatic Egg Tray Machine
The main difference between different types of egg tray machine is the drying and packing system. Let’s review the drying methods.
Natural Drying
Natural drying means make the wet pulp trays dry by means of natural conditions, like sunshine and wind. Its greatest advantage is cost-saving, especially the significant part of investment costs. However, it has obvious limits, such as weather, space, labor intensity. Thus, natural drying is often employed with manual egg tray machines.
Brick Drying Line
In order to improve the drying efficiency, we design a brick drying line for clients. Except that it can overcome the weather limits, it can also save expenses on space and labor force input. However, the investment costs are more acceptable. What workers need to do is putting the wet trays on the carts and delivering the carts in and out of the brick drying room.
Automatic Metal Drying System
If you want a higher automation level, we can also design a fully automatic drying system for you. Moreover, if there is no brick in your country, you had better choose a fully automatic metal drying line.
Manual, Fully Automatic or Semi-automatic Egg Tray Machine?
The egg tray production line contains pulp making system, molding system, drying, and packing systems. There are manual, semi-automatic, and fully automatic types on the market. How can you get the most cost-effective one?
1. Focus on Pulp Molding Machine
Molding system is the most important part of an egg tray production line. If you want to make your business profitable, it is important to choose a suitable pulp molding machine. It will determine the scale of your egg tray plant. What you need to consider includes the capacity, budget, weather, space, etc. Below are the models from Beston, which can make 1,000 to 6,000 trays/h.

2. Pulp Making System
This is the first step of a paper egg tray production line. It aims to make waste paper into pulp. Beston supplies an integrated pulping system, which can save your space and labor force input. However, it is only available to the small scale egg tray machine. When you choose pulper, you need to know how many trays you will make.
3. Drying System
The drying system makes semi-automatic and full-automatic egg tray machine different. The influencing factors include your available fuels, the weather, the scale of your plants, the labor input, etc. For example, coal and charcoal are not applicable to metal drying line. If you want to save space, a multilevel metal dryer will be your best choice. However, the metal dryer is much more expensive than the brick drying line. What you need to consider when choosing a drying system is the scale of your plant, space, weather, and workers.
4. Packing System
In terms of the packing system, we can offer you hot press machines, which are used to reshape the tray appearance. Moreover, you can also get an automatic packer and counter to improve your working efficiency.
