Why Is This Small Egg Tray Machine Also Called a Single-Side Egg Tray Making Machine?

This small egg tray machine is also known as a single-side egg tray making machine because it is equipped with only one forming mold and one transfer mold. All wet egg trays complete the pulp suction, molding, and demolding processes on the same side. This compact egg tray machine can close the molds 6–8 times per minute, with an output of 18–32 trays per minute.

Egg Tray Machine Details

Compared with multi-side machines (such as four-side, eight-side, or twelve-side machines), the single-side egg tray machine features a simpler structure, smaller footprint, and lower energy consumption. Therefore, it is an ideal choice for poultry farms and small businesses looking to upgrade from old egg tray production equipment.

Due to its single-side molding process, the production output per cycle is moderate, reaching approximately 1,000–1,500 pieces per hour. In addition, this machine is easy to operate and requires less maintenance, making it suitable for beginners and small-scale egg tray production projects.

Rohstoffe für die Eierkartonproduktion

Small egg tray machines mainly use fiber materials such as waste paper, kraft paper, corrugated paper, and cardboard as raw materials. The production process mainly involves physical processing, including pulping, molding, and drying, to finally produce finished egg trays. Generally, the weight of one egg tray is about 60–80 g. According to calculations from the Shuliy factory, one ton of waste paper can produce approximately 12,000 egg trays, making this solution highly attractive for businesses seeking a fast return on investment. In many cases, the investment can be recovered within about one week.

According to customer requirements, waterproofing agents or strengthening additives can be added to the pulp to improve the moisture resistance and durability of the trays. These additives remain stable in the products after drying and do not cause chemical reactions, discoloration, or unpleasant odors.

Therefore, both the raw materials and the production process are environmentally friendly. Egg trays are fully biodegradable, do not cause secondary pollution, and meet the growing demand for sustainable and eco-friendly packaging solutions.

How Does a Small Pulp Molding Egg Tray Machine Make Egg Trays?

Die kleine Pulpeform-Eierkartonmaschine arbeitet hauptsächlich in vier Schritten: Pulpen, Formen, Demontieren und Trocknen. Zuerst werden Abfallpapier, Wellpappe und andere Rohstoffe im richtigen Verhältnis mit Wasser vermischt, um eine einheitliche Pulpe zu erzeugen. Rühren und Schlagen sorgen für eine vollständige Dispergierung der Fasern.

Als nächstes wird die Pulpe in eine einseitige Form eingebracht. Unter Vakuumsaugung haftet die Pulpe gleichmäßig an der Formfläche, bildet schnell eine nasse Eierkarton-Tablette. Die nasse Tablette wird dann demontiert und in das Trocknungssystem (Lufttrocknung oder Trocknungsraum) geschickt, um Feuchtigkeit zu entfernen und stabile, flache, gleichmäßige Eierkartons zu produzieren.

Der gesamte Prozess ist physisch, ohne schädliche Chemikalien, umweltfreundlich und effizient. Jeder Zyklus kann mehrere Tabletten gleichzeitig produzieren, mit geringem Wasser- und Papierverbrauch, ideal für die Kleinserienproduktion mit hoher Effizienz.

Kleine Eierkarton-Produktionslinie

Die kleine Eierkarton-Produktionslinie besteht hauptsächlich aus den folgenden Teilen:

Pulpsystem

Waste paper such as newspapers, corrugated paper, and kraft paper is mixed with water, then stirred and crushed to form a uniform pulp mixture.

The pulp concentration can be adjusted according to production requirements, and a small amount of waterproofing agent can be added to improve moisture resistance. The maximum recommended water-to-paper ratio is 5:1, while the optimal ratio is generally around 10:1. A higher pulp concentration means more waste paper can be processed with less water; however, if the concentration is too high or too low, the final egg trays may not form properly.

During egg tray production, not only the pulp concentration needs to be properly controlled, but the pulp must also be thoroughly mixed and refined. In general, the pulping process takes approximately 20–40 minutes to achieve a uniform pulp consistency suitable for molding.

Jeder Zyklus kann mehrere Tabletten gleichzeitig formen, was die Produktionseffizienz erhöht.

Trocknungssystem

This egg tray drying room can dry approximately 1,000 egg trays per batch at 180–200°C, with a drying time of 30–40 minutes.

After molding, the wet egg trays are placed on galvanized trays, loaded onto drying racks, and pushed into the drying room for hot-air drying. The room can hold 10–12 carts, with each cart carrying about 90–100 egg trays. An additional 10 carts can be equipped for continuous production.

Compared with natural sun drying, this method allows continuous production regardless of weather conditions, saves space, and improves drying stability. However, it requires more manual labor for tray loading, cart movement, and unloading.

Heißpressen (optional)

To achieve a smoother and more attractive surface, a small egg tray hot pressing machine can be used for further processing. This egg tray hot press molding machine uses electric heating to heat the pressing mold up to 200°C. Then, with a downward pressure of 20 tons from the hydraulic cylinder, it compresses the egg trays, making both sides of the trays smooth and evenly finished.

Verpackung und Stapeln

The egg tray packing machine provided by Shuliy uses a pneumatic cylinder to compress 70–120 egg trays into a compact stack. This process ensures that the stacked egg trays have a uniform length, making them easier to package, load, and transport.

Drying Methods Compatible with Small Egg Tray Making Machines

Small egg tray making machines usually use two main drying methods: natural sun drying and drying room drying. The suitable method depends on production capacity, local climate conditions, and investment budget.

Natürliche Sonnentrocknung

Natural drying is suitable for small-scale production of 1,000–2,000 egg trays per day, especially in areas with warm and dry climates. The drying time mainly depends on the weather conditions: at 30–35°C, egg trays usually need about 2 hours to dry; at around 25°C, drying may take about 5 hours; while in cold weather of 5–10°C, it may take up to 48 hours.

After molding, wet egg trays are placed on bamboo or galvanized trays, then loaded onto drying racks and moved to an open area. The trays are dried naturally through sunlight and airflow. Generally, 100–200 drying racks are required. Each rack can hold 24–30 mesh trays, and each mesh tray can hold 3–4 egg trays.

The main advantage of natural drying is that it requires no additional energy consumption, helping reduce production costs. However, it requires more labor, larger drying space, and depends heavily on weather conditions.

Natürliche Trocknung

Drying Room / Cart Drying

For businesses requiring more stable production, a drying room or cart drying system is a better choice. This method can dry approximately 1,000 egg trays per batch at 180–200°C, with a drying time of about 30–40 minutes.

After molding, the wet egg trays are placed on galvanized trays, loaded onto drying racks, and pushed into the drying room for hot-air drying. The drying room can accommodate 10–12 carts, with each cart holding approximately 90–100 egg trays. An additional 10 carts can be prepared for continuous circulation.

Compared with natural drying, this method allows stable production regardless of wind or rain, requires less space, and improves drying efficiency. However, it requires more labor for tray handling, cart movement, and loading/unloading operations.

FAQ About Shuliy Small Egg Tray Machine

What is the standard size and egg diameter of the egg trays produced by this machine?

The standard 30-cell egg tray produced by this machine is approximately 29.5 × 29.5 cm, with a tray depth of about 46 mm. It is suitable for common egg sizes with diameters ranging from 44 mm to 50 mm. For larger eggs (up to around 52 mm), customized tray molds can be provided.

How much weight can one molded egg tray hold?

Although a standard egg tray usually weighs about 65–75 g, its molded pulp structure provides excellent strength. Under normal conditions, a finished egg tray can withstand the weight of an adult person without breaking when pressure is evenly distributed.

How much moisture does a finished wet egg tray contain after molding?

After the molding process, the moisture content of a wet egg tray is usually around 60–70%. For example, an 80 g egg tray contains approximately 160 g of water, making the total wet weight about 240 g before drying.

What is the production cost of one recycled paper egg tray?

The production cost depends on local waste paper prices, electricity costs, labor, and drying methods. Taking waste paper as an example, if 1 ton of waste paper costs $200 and produces around 12,500 pieces of 80 g egg trays, the raw material cost is approximately $0.016 per tray. Other costs should be calculated according to local conditions.

Can this small egg tray machine produce trays in different colors?

Yes. Different colors can be achieved by adding suitable pigments into the pulp mixing tank before molding. Common colors include blue, green, yellow, and red, which are often used for customized packaging or brand identification.

How can I make the egg trays stronger and harder?

To increase the strength and hardness of molded pulp egg trays, additives such as lime powder or agricultural fibers like bagasse (sugarcane residue) can be added to the pulp. Adjusting pulp concentration and drying conditions can also improve tray strength.

How long is the service life of the egg tray machine mold?

Under normal operating conditions, the molding mold can usually be used for about 2 years or longer. The actual lifespan depends on production frequency, maintenance, and whether abrasive materials enter the pulp system.

Which parts of the egg tray machine are made of stainless steel?

The parts include the mold chamber, pulp tank, machine cover, and mold wire mesh.

Can the egg tray machine be used for products other than egg trays?

Yes. By changing molds, the same pulp molding technology can produce other packaging products, such as fruit trays, bottle trays, coffee cup holders, and industrial protective packaging.

Does the egg tray production process require special environmental conditions?

The machine can operate in normal factory environments. However, a well-ventilated workshop with enough drying space is recommended because molded pulp products contain high moisture after forming and require effective drying before packaging.
