Lini produksi tray telur kertas | mesin pembuat karton apel
The egg tray production line is a fully automated manufacturing system designed to transform waste paper into high-quality paper egg trays. This complete production line integrates pulping, forming, drying, and packaging processes into one seamless operation, with a production capacity ranging from 1,000 to 7,000 pieces per hour depending on the model configuration.
As an environmentally friendly solution, the paper egg tray production line utilizes various waste paper materials including newspapers, cardboard, and mixed paper to produce durable, biodegradable egg packaging. The system features advanced rotating technology imported from Germany, ensuring consistent product quality and extended machine lifespan. With its multi-purpose design, this production line can also manufacture fruit trays, wine trays, and electronic component packaging simply by changing the molds.
Key Functions of Paper Egg Tray Production Line
The egg carton production line performs four essential functions that transform raw waste paper into finished egg trays ready for market distribution.
Pulping and Preparation
The production line begins with the pulping system, which breaks down waste paper into uniform pulp slurry. The pulping machine uses high-speed stirring blades to efficiently decompose paper fibers while maintaining their structural integrity. This process includes a ratio adjustment system that ensures the optimal consistency of pulp and water mixture, typically achieving a concentration of 2-3% solid content for best forming results.
Precision Forming
The heart of the automatic egg tray making line is the forming machine, which employs a rotating hot-press principle. Pulp is adsorbed onto precision molds while heat is applied to rapidly remove moisture and set the tray shape. The rotating design allows for continuous production with four different mold configurations available (single-sided, 4-sided, 8-sided, and 12-sided), accommodating various production capacity requirements from small farms to large industrial facilities.
Efficient Drying
After forming, the paper trays contain significant moisture that must be removed to achieve final product strength. The production line offers three drying options: natural air drying for regions with abundant sunshine, brick house drying with controlled temperature heating, and modern drying line systems that provide faster processing in a smaller footprint. Each drying method can reduce moisture content from approximately 50% to less than 12%, ensuring trays meet international quality standards.
Automated Packaging
The final stage involves stacking and compressing finished trays for efficient storage and transportation. The packaging machine uses a hydraulic pressing plate to compact the trays, reducing their volume by up to 40% compared to loose stacking. This compression significantly lowers shipping costs and warehouse space requirements, providing immediate economic benefits to producers.
Applicable Raw Materials
The paper egg tray machine demonstrates remarkable versatility in raw material acceptance, enabling producers to source materials locally and minimize production costs. The production line can process the following waste paper types:
- Waste cardboard and corrugated boxes: Provides strong fiber structure for durable trays
- Newspapers and magazines: Offers good pulp consistency and natural gray color
- Mixed office paper: Produces lighter-colored trays with smooth surface finish
- Book paper and binding materials: Creates high-strength packaging products
- Kraft paper and paper sacks: Delivers excellent water resistance properties
Raw material specifications require paper to be free from plastic coatings, metal staples, and excessive ink content. The ideal fiber length ranges from 0.5-3mm after pulping, with moisture content before processing not exceeding 15%. Producers can blend different paper types to optimize both cost and product quality, with cardboard typically comprising 60-70% of the raw material mix for best results.
Keunggulan Utama
Investing in a Taizy egg tray production line provides multiple competitive advantages that translate directly into profitability and operational efficiency:
- 1. Exceptional Production Efficiency
With capacity options from 1,500 to 8,000 pcs/hour, our production lines can meet demands of any scale. The SL-6×12 model achieves maximum output of 8,000 pieces per hour while requiring only 3-4 workers, delivering a productivity rate of 2,000-2,667 pieces per worker per hour. - 2. Superior Build Quality and Durability
All components in contact with water are manufactured from 304 stainless steel, while the machine exterior receives waterproof and anti-corrosion coating. This construction ensures a minimum service life of 10 years with proper maintenance, significantly reducing long-term replacement costs. - 3. Multi-Product Versatility
Beyond egg trays, the same production line can manufacture fruit trays, wine bottle packaging, electronic component trays, and small mechanical parts packaging. Quick mold changeover takes less than 30 minutes, enabling producers to diversify product offerings without additional capital investment. - 4. Advanced German Technology
The rotating forming principle, licensed from German engineering, increases both output and machine longevity compared to traditional reciprocating systems. This technology ensures uniform product quality with consistent wall thickness and precise dimensions. - 5. Customizable Color Options
During production, pigments can be added to create colored trays in purple, green, blue, or any custom shade. This capability opens premium market segments and brand differentiation opportunities. - 6. Energy-Efficient Operation
The optimized pulping and forming processes reduce electricity consumption to 0.0125-0.013 kWh per piece. For drying, producers can choose the most economical fuel source (coal, diesel, natural gas, or liquefied gas) based on local availability and pricing. - 7. One-Time Molding Technology
The hot-press forming creates trays in a single operation without adhesion or breakage issues. This eliminates secondary processing steps and reduces material waste to less than 2%. - 8. Environmental Sustainability
Compared to plastic egg trays, paper trays offer 100% biodegradability, superior air permeability, excellent shock absorption, and lower production costs. The production line itself uses recycled materials, creating a circular economy solution.

Prinsip Kerja
The egg tray production line operates through a systematic five-stage process that transforms waste paper into finished packaging products:
Langkah 1: Pulping
Waste paper is loaded into the pulping machine along with water at a ratio of approximately 1:4. The high-speed rotating blades tear and beat the paper fibers for 15-20 minutes until a homogeneous pulp slurry is formed. The pulp concentration is then adjusted to 2-3% in the regulating pool before being pumped to the forming machine’s pulp storage tank.
Step 2: Forming
The adjusted pulp flows into the egg tray forming machine where it contacts rotating molds. Under heat and pressure, water is rapidly expelled while the pulp conforms to the mold cavity shape. The rotating mechanism ensures continuous operation with molds cycling through loading, forming, and ejection positions. Each mold produces one tray per cycle, with cycle times ranging from 18-25 seconds depending on product specifications.
Langkah 3: Pengeringan
Freshly formed trays contain approximately 50-60% moisture and must be dried to below 12%. In natural drying, trays are placed in open-air racks for 2-3 days. For controlled drying, trays enter a heated chamber (brick house or drying line) where temperatures of 80-120°C circulate hot air for 45-90 minutes. The drying system can be powered by coal, diesel, natural gas, or electricity based on local fuel availability and cost considerations.
Step 4: Quality Inspection
Dried trays undergo visual and dimensional inspection. Trays with cracks, deformities, or incorrect dimensions are separated and returned to the pulping stage for recycling. Quality trays proceed to the packaging station. This inspection ensures that only products meeting specifications reach customers, maintaining brand reputation.
Step 5: Packaging
Finished trays are manually stacked on the packaging machine platform. The hydraulic press compresses the stack to reduce volume by 30-40%, then the compressed bundle is secured with strapping bands. This compact packaging minimizes warehouse space and transportation costs, typically allowing 2,000-3,000 trays to fit in a 20-foot container depending on tray size.
