Fruit Tray Making Machine

그만큼 pulp tray making machine is not only used to make egg trays, but it can also be used to produce fruit trays. It is also known as a fruit tray making machine or a fruit and vegetable packaging tray making machine. Similar to the egg tray machine, it uses waste paper and old cartons as raw materials, which are processed through pulping, filtering, and water mixing to create thick pulp for making trays.

This fruit tray making machine is widely used for the eco-friendly packaging of fruits like apples, pears, oranges, and kiwis. It is a green alternative to plastic trays, as it is biodegradable, recyclable, and environmentally friendly.

Fruit trays have a wide range of uses. They are mainly used in fruit wholesale markets, supermarket distribution centers, fruit export companies, eco-friendly packaging factories, and fruit farms. Due to high demand, the market has great potential, and the return on investment is substantial.

Shuliy has been focusing on the development and production of fruit tray making machines for over 10 years. With rich export experience, Shuliy is one of the leading manufacturers and exporters in China. Every year, we export many fruit tray making machines to countries such as Brazil, Cuba, Colombia, Russia, Ghana, Cameroon, Nigeria, France, Zambia, New Zealand, Peru, Uzbekistan, Sudan, and many others.

How does the fruit tray making machine work?

Just like the egg tray machine, the fruit tray making machine uses pulp molding technology. It follows a pulp forming process where the pulp is injected into a mold. Then, the tray is formed by vacuum suction, dried with heat, and shaped into trays with a specific strength and design.

The main working steps are: pulping → forming → drying → packaging.

What kinds of fruit trays can be made?

• Apple tray: Common types have 10-hole, 15-hole, or 20-hole designs. Each fruit has its own slot to prevent bruising during transport.
• Orange / Citrus tray: Usually with 12 or 15 holes. The slots are deeper and round, perfect for holding round fruits and preventing rolling.
• Kiwi tray: Often comes with 8 or 16 holes, sometimes designed in two layers. This type protects soft fruits from pressure and damage.
• Pear tray: Made from soft pulp material. The hole size is larger, suitable for big fruits like snow pears.
• Grape tray: A flat, shallow tray used to hold grape bunches that are already packed in foam bags.
• Strawberry tray: Usually made from clear plastic or shallow pulp trays combined with absorbent paper, arranged in a single layer to protect each berry.
