A 2000–3000 PCs/hr egg tray making machine is also called a multi-face rotary drum machine. It refers to a machine with multiple forming surfaces that can produce pulp egg trays quickly and efficiently, with an hourly output of 2,000–3,000 pieces.

Shuliy offers this type of egg tray making machine in two models: SL-3*4 and SL-4*4. The SL-3*4 model has an output of 2,000–2,500 pieces per hour, while the SL-4*4 model produces 2,500–3,000 pieces per hour. Like many pulp egg tray machines, this 2,000–3,000 PCs/hr egg tray machine uses paper pulp to produce egg trays.

This medium-capacity egg tray making machine is suitable for small or medium egg tray factories. If large-scale production is required, a 4,000–8,000 PCs/hr egg tray making machine can be selected.

Shuliy’s popular 2,000–3,000 PCs/hr egg tray forming machine attracts customers from more than 50 countries and regions, including Brazil, the United States, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Nigeria, Ghana, and South Africa, thanks to its durability and high output of high-quality egg trays.

Why is the 2,000–3,000 PCs/hr Egg Tray Machine Called A Multi-side Rotary Drum Machine?

多面回転ドラム機は、成形セクションに回転ドラム設計を持つ卵トレイ製造機を指します。ドラムは多面卵トレイ機のコアコンポーネントであり、通常は円筒形または多角形の回転構造です。

“マルチサイド”は、ドラムに複数の転送面があり、それぞれに複数の卵トレイ成形型があることを意味します。ドラムは連続的に回転し、高速生産を実現します。2,000〜3,000個/時間の卵トレイ製造機は4つの成形面を持ちます。

一般的な多面卵トレイ機は4面または8面を持ちます。8面の機械と比較して、4面の機械は出力が適度で、コンパクトな構造、低コスト、操作が簡単であり、小規模および中規模の工場に適しています。

What Can This Egg Tray Machine Produce?

The 2,000–3,000 pcs/hr egg tray making machine is not limited to standard egg trays. By changing the forming and transfer molds, the same rotary forming system produces a wide range of molded pulp packaging. This flexibility allows medium-sized factories to serve multiple markets without buying separate machines.

The most common output for the SL-3×4 and SL-4×4 models is the standard 30-cell egg tray. This format is widely used in Africa, Asia, and South America. For operators targeting supermarkets or export markets, flip-top egg cartons and colored trays offer higher margins. Fruit tray molds are popular in agricultural regions where farmers need protective packaging for export crops.

What Raw Materials Can Be Used?

最も一般的な原材料は廃紙と水です。その他の材料にはクラフト紙、段ボール紙、段ボールが含まれ、すべて繊維を含みます。

Some customers use industrial residues from paper mills, and some use one-sided coated waste paper. All materials need to be mixed with water and pulped before production. The typical ratio of waste paper to water is 1:10. Egg trays made from this waste paper are environmentally friendly, biodegradable, and durable.

How Does an Egg Tray Making Machine Work?

2000〜3000個/時間の卵トレイ製造機は、通常、多面回転ドラム成形原理を使用します。運転中、パルプは成形型にポンプで送り込まれ、回転ドラム上で順次卵トレイの形に成形されます。その後、脱水、プレス、乾燥を経て、自動的にコンベヤで排出されます。全工程は連続的かつ効率的で、 manual interventionは不要であり、小規模および中規模の卵トレイ生産に適しています。

Egg Tray Drying Methods for 2,000–3,000 Pcs/Hr Production

At 2,000–3,000 pieces per hour, wet tray output exceeds what natural sun drying can reliably handle. Shuliy offers two practical drying configurations for this capacity level.

Option 1: Multi-Layer Drying Room

The drying room is a batch-type dryer with stacked carts or shelves. Wet trays are loaded onto carts and wheeled into the heated chamber. Hot air circulates through the room at 60–120°C until moisture drops below 12%.

パラメータ仕様
Capacity match2,000–3,000 pcs/hr forming output
Heating sourceElectricity, natural gas, diesel, or coal
Drying cycle45–90 minutes per batch
労働要件1-2 workers for loading and unloading
Floor space50–100 m² depending on tray volume
Best forHumid climates, limited initial investment

The drying room is the most common pairing for the SL-3×4 in regions with unpredictable weather. It protects trays from rain and dust. The lower initial cost makes it attractive for first-time investors.

Option 2: Continuous Mesh Belt Dryer

The mesh belt dryer transports trays through a heated tunnel on a moving conveyor. This creates a continuous flow from forming to packaging.

パラメータ仕様
Capacity match2,500–7,000 pcs/hr
Heating sourceNatural gas, diesel, coal, or LPG
Drying time15–25 minutes
労働要件Minimal, mostly monitoring
Floor spaceLonger but narrower than drying room
Best forHigh output, limited labor, consistent production

The mesh belt dryer raises equipment cost but reduces labor and cycle time. It is ideal for factories planning to run two shifts or expand toward the higher end of the SL-4×4 capacity.

What Does a Complete Egg Tray Production Line Include?

A 2,000–3,000 pcs/hr egg tray production line includes more than the forming machine. Shuliy supplies a coordinated system where each module is sized to match the forming output.

How to Choose the Right Egg Tray Machine Capacity?

Selecting the correct capacity prevents over-investment and production bottlenecks. Match the machine to your current needs with room for growth.

Your Daily Target推奨モデルReasoning
20,000–30,000 trays/daySL-3×4 (2,500 pcs/hr)Lower investment, enough for local supply
30,000–50,000 trays/daySL-4×4 (3,000 pcs/hr)Matches medium factory output
50,000+ trays/daySL-4×8 or largerHigher capacity for commercial scale

Consider these factors when deciding:

  • Market demand: How many trays can you sell daily?
  • Operating hours: Will you run one or two shifts?
  • Raw material supply: Can you source enough waste paper?
  • Facility size: Do you have space for the dryer and raw material storage?
  • Budget: Can you afford the mesh belt dryer, or should you start with a drying room?

A common mistake is buying the largest machine possible. If your daily sales are 25,000 trays, the SL-3×4 is the rational choice. You can upgrade later when demand grows.

2,000–3,000 Pcs/Hr Egg Tray Machine Project Cases

Tanzania: SL-4×4 Brick Dryer Production Line

A poultry packaging entrepreneur in Tanzania installed an SL-4×4 egg tray manufacturing machine with a brick dryer near Dar es Salaam. The line produces approximately 3,000 trays per hour. Shuliy dispatched an engineer to supervise installation and train local operators. The customer now supplies egg trays to poultry farms across the region. The brick dryer was chosen because it supports both natural gas and coal firing, giving the customer flexibility as local fuel prices change.

Tanzania: Poultry Farm Self-Use Project

In October 2025, a Tanzanian poultry farm with 2,000 cubic meters of production space ordered an SL-4×4 waste paper egg tray machine. The customer needed trays for internal use and planned to sell the surplus. The system was configured with coal-fired brick drying to match local energy availability. Shuliy provided site layout planning, refractory bricks shipped with the equipment, and a complete spare parts list. The machine was loaded into containers and shipped with installation support arranged.

よくある質問

Can one machine produce both egg trays and egg cartons?

Yes. The same forming machine produces both by changing the molds. Egg cartons require deeper molds and a lid-forming die. Mold changeover takes 30–60 minutes.

How much waste paper is needed per 1,000 trays?

Approximately 100–120 kg of dry waste paper is needed per 1,000 standard 30-cell egg trays. The SL-3×4 consumes 200 kg/hour and the SL-4×4 consumes 240 kg/hour.

What is the typical payback period?

Most medium-scale operators recover their investment within 12–24 months. Payback depends on local tray prices, fuel costs, labor rates, and daily operating hours.

Can the machine run on generator power?

Yes. The SL-3×4 needs 55 kW installed power and the SL-4×4 needs 60 kW. A generator with 20–30% spare capacity is recommended for stable operation.

How many workers are needed per shift?

A complete automatic line needs 3–5 workers per shift: one feeding waste paper, one monitoring the forming machine, one managing the dryer, and one handling finished tray stacking.

What voltage does the machine use?

Standard voltage is 380V / 50Hz three-phase. Other voltages such as 220V, 415V, or 60Hz can be customized.

How long does delivery take?

Production time is typically 25–40 days. Sea freight adds 20–40 days depending on the destination port. Total lead time is usually 45–80 days.

Does Shuliy provide installation support?

Yes. Shuliy provides installation drawings, video guidance, and on-site engineer support. On-site service covers assembly, commissioning, and operator training.

Can the machine produce colored trays?

Yes. Pigments can be added to the pulp to produce yellow, purple, green, blue, or other colors. This is useful for branding and retail packaging.

What is the machine warranty?

Shuliy provides a 12-month warranty on mechanical and electrical components. Spare parts and lifetime technical support are available after the warranty period.
