The SL-series egg tray production line with brick dryer is a fully integrated turnkey system that converts waste paper into market-ready egg trays through a continuous, automated workflow. Unlike stand-alone machines that require separate drying infrastructure, this paper egg tray production line with brick dryer combines pulping, vacuum forming, and tunnel drying into one coordinated manufacturing system. Five production models, SL1-4 through SL6-8, deliver hourly outputs from 1,000 to 7,000 standard 49-cell egg trays, serving everything from small family workshops to large export-oriented factories.

The defining engineering advantage of this egg tray manufacturing line with brick dryer is its built-in brick kiln drying tunnel. Conventional pulp molding operations force buyers to construct a separate drying building, install external burners, and engineer hot air circulation independently. The SL series eliminates this entirely. The brick-lined tunnel dryer ships as a pre-integrated module matched to the forming machine output, operating at a constant 180°C to 200°C with support for natural gas, coal, or wood firing. This integrated approach cuts civil construction costs, shortens commissioning timelines, and simplifies facility planning.


For operators entering the recycled packaging business, the line offers a practical path from raw material to sellable product. The entire brick drying egg tray production line runs on 380V / 50Hz three-phase industrial power, with actual operating consumption at approximately 70% of total installed capacity. All models feature carbon steel construction and modular breakdown for containerized shipping, making global delivery straightforward regardless of destination.

Egg Tray Production Line with Brick Dryer Workflow Process
The egg tray production line with brick drying system executes an eight-stage process from raw waste paper to baled finished product:

Stage 1: High-Concentration Pulping (20 Minutes)
Waste cardboard, newspaper, and discarded books are loaded into the hydropulper with water. The high-shear rotor breaks down fibers into a uniform pulp slurry.
Stage 2: Slurry Storage and Conditioning
Pulp transfers to a storage tank where continuous agitation prevents settling.
Stage 3: Pumped Delivery to Forming
Supply pumps deliver conditioned pulp to the forming machine hopper.
Stage 4: Vacuum Forming
Vacuum pumps draw pulp fibers onto the forming molds. Mold counts range from 4 pieces on SL1-4 to 48 pieces on SL6-8.
Stage 5: Automatic Demolding
A mechanical transfer system removes wet trays and places them onto the dryer inlet conveyor.
Stage 6: Brick Tunnel Drying
Trays enter the brick-lined tunnel dryer operating at 180–200°C with controlled airflow and mesh belt transport.
Stage 7: Automatic Tray Stacking
After drying, trays are collected by automatic stacking machines.
Stage 8: Pneumatic Baling
Finished trays are compressed into compact bales for storage and transport.

Câu hỏi thường gặp
What is the difference between a brick dryer and a box-type drying room?
A brick dryer is a continuous tunnel where trays move through on a mesh belt at a controlled speed. A box-type dryer is a batch chamber where trays are loaded, dried, and removed in cycles. The brick dryer enables non-stop production with higher throughput and lower labor, while box dryers suit lower-volume operations with simpler infrastructure requirements.
How much waste paper is consumed per 1,000 egg trays?
Approximately 100-130 kg of dry waste paper is required per 1,000 standard 49-cell trays. Daily paper consumption ranges from roughly 1,000 kg for the SL1-4 to 7,000+ kg for the SL6-8. Water is recirculated within the pulping system, minimizing freshwater usage.
Can I upgrade from a smaller model to a larger one later?
Partial upgrades are possible within certain limits. The forming machine, vacuum system, and drying tunnel are matched as a set. While individual components like pulper size or mold count can be increased, a full capacity upgrade typically requires replacing the forming and drying modules as a matched pair.
What is the typical installation timeline?
SL1-4 and SL3-4 models are typically operational within 7-10 days. SL4-8 and SL5-8 require 10-14 days. The SL6-8, due to its 20-ton weight and dual-container shipment, may require 2-3 weeks including foundation preparation, electrical connection, and burner calibration.
Does the line require a wastewater treatment system?
Process water from the pulping stage is normally recirculated back to the hydropulper. A small bleed stream carries away rejected fiber and contaminants. Most operators manage this with a simple settling pond or small clarification tank. For facilities in environmentally sensitive areas, a basic effluent treatment module can be added.
How many trays fit in a 40-foot shipping container?
Finished 49-cell egg trays nest efficiently. A standard 40-foot container holds approximately 80,000 to 100,000 pieces when baled, depending on compression density. This corresponds to roughly one day of SL4-8 production or two days of SL3-4 output.
What is the expected lifespan of the brick tunnel lining?
The refractory brick lining inside the drying tunnel typically lasts 3 to 5 years with natural gas firing, or 2 to 4 years with coal or wood due to higher ash content. Replacement sections are stocked as standard spare parts and can be installed during routine maintenance shutdowns
Can the line produce other molded pulp products?
Yes. By changing the forming and transfer molds, the line can manufacture fruit trays, bottle protectors, cup carriers, and disposable tableware. Mold changeover requires 4 to 6 hours and involves swapping dies, adjusting stacker spacing, and calibrating forming depth.
