A 1 side egg tray machine refers to an egg tray forming machine with the molding dies installed on only one side of the machine. It has a single working face, meaning the pulp molding process is carried out on one side at a time. This type of machine is typically used for small-scale production, with an output of about 1000–1500 pcs/h.

This machine has a simple design, is easy to operate, takes up little space, and has a low cost, so the investment can be recovered quickly.

Zhengzhou Shuliy Machinery Co., Ltd specializes in egg tray machines. We have over ten years of experience in making and exporting egg tray machines. Therefore, we have perfect pre-sales and after-sales service. We are able to produce a wide variety of egg trays and make a variety of molds because the egg tray can be used for various fields.

Introduction of the best-selling 1 side egg tray machine

This machine serves as the main unit in the entire production process. It is a machine à plateaux à œufs semi-automatique with a small capacity and low power consumption, making it ideal for small-scale production. The machine forms multiple trays per cycle while consuming relatively little water, ensuring efficient operation.

The egg tray machine mainly consists of a transfer mold and a forming mold. With the help of vacuum suction, the pulp adheres evenly to the mold surface to form wet egg trays, which are then dried to become the final products.

The main raw material for the 1-side egg tray machine is waste paper. The waste paper first enters the pulping machine, where it is mixed with water to form pulp, and then transferred to the pulp storage tank. The pulp in the storage tank is evenly conveyed to the slurry supply tank through a mixer, and after further stirring to reach the desired consistency, it is sent to the forming machine (usually an egg tray machine) for molding, producing egg trays.

Raw materials for the small egg tray making machine

The raw materials of the small egg tray making machine are usually waste newspaper, kraft paper, corrugated paper, and so on.

In the production and processing process, it is mainly a physical reaction. Some waterproofing agents can be added according to customer needs. After the products are dried, these waterproofing agents are basically all retained in the finished product, and no dyeing is discharged. Therefore, the raw materials of the egg tray machine are very environmentally friendly.

Difference between semi-automatic and fully automatic egg tray machine

The biggest difference between the semi-automatic and fully automatic models is the drying method. Because the semi-automatic egg tray machine has a small capacity, the dry way can adopt the natural drying way. On the contrary, the output of fully automatic machines is large, so the egg tray needs to be dried in the dryer. Natural drying time is long and slow, which is not suitable for large-scale production. For fully automatic production, you can choose a single-layer metal dryer line or a multi-layer metal dryer line to dry the egg tray.

Drying method of the small egg tray making machine

Due to the small capacity of this Model 1 side egg tray machine, the drying method can be chosen as natural drying. Some beginners start this business, but have fewer funds, so they can choose natural drying to control costs. Usually, the egg tray can be dried by the sunlight within one day.

Also, the weather temperature needs to be over 38℃. This kind of drying method can also save lots of electricity. Of course, we also produce small carts, which greatly save space. It is easy to operate. The most important thing is that it decreases your cost.

The other drying method is using an egg tray drying machine, which is made of metal. The egg tray dryer uses coal, fuel, or electricity as the heat source. The molded egg trays will be dried in hot air.
