Nigeria’s poultry sector is expanding rapidly. Farms and egg traders need a steady supply of strong, affordable paper egg trays. An egg tray machine in Nigeria converts waste paper, cardboard, old books, and other fiber materials into molded pulp trays. Output ranges from 1,000 to 7,000 trays per hour<\/strong> depending on the model. The right machine protects eggs during transport, reduces breakage losses, and creates a profitable packaging business from recycled materials.<\/p>

Shuliy’s SL-series egg tray machines are built for Nigerian conditions. They run on 380V \/ 50Hz three-phase power<\/strong>, match local fuel options, and fit inside standard shipping containers for delivery to Lagos or Port Harcourt. Whether you operate a small poultry farm in Oyo State or plan a commercial packaging factory near Lagos, there is a model that matches your scale.<\/p>

Why Egg Tray Machines Fit the Nigerian Market?<\/h2>

Nigeria imports a large share of its packaging materials. Local egg tray production cuts this dependence. Recycled paper is widely available in cities like Lagos, Kano, and Onitsha. Waste cardboard from markets, printing shops, and warehouses becomes raw material. The finished trays are biodegradable. They appeal to farms and supermarkets seeking environmentally responsible packaging.<\/p>

Power supply can be unstable in many industrial zones. Shuliy machines use variable frequency drives and robust motors. Actual power consumption runs at about 70% of installed capacity<\/strong>. This reduces strain on generators and lowers diesel costs during grid outages.<\/p>

Fuel flexibility is another advantage. The brick dryer models support natural gas, coal, or wood firing. When gas prices rise, operators can switch to locally sourced solid fuel. This is critical for long-term cost control in Nigeria’s volatile energy market.<\/p>

Types of Egg Tray Machines for Nigerian Buyers<\/h2>

Shuliy supplies four main categories of egg tray equipment. Each serves a different production scale and investment level.<\/p>

Small Egg Tray Machines: SL-3\u00d71 and SL-4\u00d71<\/h2>

The SL-3\u00d71 and SL-4\u00d71 are single-side forming machines. They are the most affordable entry point for Nigerian startups.<\/p>

The SL-3\u00d71 produces 1,000 trays per hour<\/strong>. It has three forming molds and one transfer mold. Each cycle produces three trays. The machine runs at 6-8 cycles per minute<\/strong>. Power consumption is 38 kW<\/strong>. The machine weighs 2,500 kg<\/strong> and measures 2,600 \u00d7 2,200 \u00d7 1,900 mm<\/strong>.<\/p>

The SL-4\u00d71 produces 1,500 trays per hour<\/strong>. It adds one extra forming mold for higher output. Power remains at 38 kW<\/strong>. Weight increases to 3,000 kg<\/strong>. Dimensions are 2,800 \u00d7 2,200 \u00d7 1,900 mm<\/strong>. The extra mold position improves stability and is ideal for small factories ready to expand beyond farm-self-use.<\/p>

Both models consume 80-120 kg of waste paper per hour<\/strong> and 160-240 kg of water per hour<\/strong>. Most process water recirculates back to the pulper. Operators need 3-4 workers per shift<\/strong>.<\/p>

These machines are compact. They fit into small workshops without major civil works. Drying can be done by sun exposure, a simple drying cart system, or a small drying room depending on local climate and budget.<\/p>

Four-Side Rotary Egg Tray Machine<\/a><\/strong>: SL-2500-3\u00d74 and SL-3000-4\u00d74<\/h2>

The four-side rotary machine is the next step up. It suits Nigerian entrepreneurs who have confirmed market demand and want to supply multiple farms or retailers.<\/p>

The SL-2500-3\u00d74 produces 2,500 trays per hour<\/strong>. It uses a 3\u00d74 mold arrangement: three molds on each of four drum sides, totaling 12 forming molds. The SL-3000-4\u00d74 produces 3,000+ trays per hour<\/strong> with a 4\u00d74 arrangement and 16 forming molds.<\/p>

Unlike single-side machines, the rotary drum forms continuously. There is no stop-start motion. This increases speed and reduces mechanical stress. The drum rotates through the pulp vat, vacuum forming station, and demolding zone in one smooth cycle.<\/p>

These machines require either a drying room or integration with a brick dryer line. They are ideal for medium-scale operations in Nigerian states with strong poultry activity, such as Ogun, Kaduna, and Anambra.<\/p>

The brick dryer tunnel operates at 180-200\u00b0C<\/strong>. It includes a circulating mesh belt, air distribution plates, induced draft fans, and a temperature control cabinet. Wet trays enter at one end. Dry trays exit at the other end. The process is continuous.<\/p>

The SL1-4 and SL3-4 use natural gas burners. The SL4-8 adds optional coal or wood grates. The SL5-8 and SL6-8 include cast iron grates as standard, allowing operators to switch between gas and solid fuel. This is a major advantage for Nigerian factories facing energy price swings.<\/p>

    How Does the Egg Tray Making Machine Make Egg Trays?<\/h2>

    The production process follows five clear steps:<\/p>

    \u30b9\u30c6\u30c3\u30d71\uff1a\u30d1\u30eb\u30d7\u5316<\/h3>

    Waste paper and water enter the hydropulper. High-shear mixing breaks the fibers into a uniform slurry in about 20 minutes.<\/p>

    \u30b9\u30c6\u30c3\u30d72\uff1a\u6210\u5f62<\/h3>

    Pulp is pumped to the forming machine. Vacuum suction pulls fibers onto the mold surface, creating wet trays.<\/p>

    Step 3: Demolding<\/h3>

    A mechanical transfer system removes wet trays from the molds and places them on the dryer conveyor.<\/p>

    Step 4: Drying<\/h3>

    Paper pulp trays can be hardened through different drying methods, including brick-built drying tunnels, drying rooms, or metal drying machines. All of these methods can effectively dry and strengthen the egg trays.<\/p>

    Step 5: Stacking and Baling<\/h3>

    Dry trays are automatically stacked and compressed into bales for storage or transport.<\/p>

    Advantages of Shuliy Egg Tray Machines for Nigeria<\/h2>
    • Fuel flexibility.<\/strong> Switch between natural gas, coal, and wood on larger models. This protects your margin when local fuel prices change.<\/li>
    • Low raw material cost.<\/strong> One ton of waste paper produces approximately 12,000 standard egg trays. Cardboard and old newspapers are available in every Nigerian city.<\/li>
    • Modular container shipping.<\/strong> All models break down for standard sea freight. This reduces shipping risk and simplifies customs clearance.<\/li>
    • Simple operation.<\/strong> Single-side and rotary machines use mechanical controls that Nigerian operators learn quickly. Larger lines include touchscreens with clear menus.<\/li>
    • Strong frame construction.<\/strong> Carbon steel frames weigh 2,500 kg for small models and up to 20 tons for the largest line. The machine stays stable during continuous operation.<\/li>
    • Multiple product options.<\/strong> By changing molds, the same machine can produce egg cartons, fruit trays, cup carriers, and other molded pulp packaging.<\/li> <\/ul>
