Egg Tray Making Machine Price in Rwanda
An egg tray making machine price in Rwanda typically between 10,800,000 RWF and 108,000,000 RWF depending on capacity and configuration. Small semi-automatic models start at the lower end. Full automatic egg tray production lines with integrated dryers reach the higher end. This price range is approximate. The final quotation depends on the machine model, drying system, fuel type, voltage adaptation, and shipping route to Rwanda.
Rwanda’s poultry sector is growing. Local egg production is rising in districts like Bugesera, Rwamagana, and Huye. Farmers and traders need reliable packaging to reduce breakage during transport from farm to market. Importing plastic trays from neighboring countries is expensive. A local egg tray machine solves this problem by turning waste paper into affordable, biodegradable egg trays.
Shuliy Welcomes a Client from Rwanda to Visit Our Factory
In July this year, our factory welcomed a purchasing client from Rwanda for a visit.
After inspecting the machines, he expressed a strong willingness to move forward with the next stage of cooperation with us.
Why Is Rwanda a Growing Market for Egg Tray Manufacturing?
Rwanda imports many packaging materials. Local production cuts costs and shortens supply chains. Waste paper and cardboard are available in Kigali, Musanze, and Rubavu. Schools, printing shops, and retail stores generate cardboard waste daily. This material becomes the raw input for pulp molding.
The country also favors environmentally friendly products. Paper egg trays are biodegradable. They align with Rwanda’s strict environmental policies, including the ban on single-use plastics. Supermarkets and hotels increasingly prefer paper-based packaging.
Power supply in Rwanda operates at 230V / 50Hz. Most industrial areas have reliable electricity, but rural farms may use generators. Shuliy machines can be configured for 230V operation or standard 380V with a transformer. This flexibility helps both urban factories and rural installations.
Egg Tray Machine Models Available for Rwanda
Shuliy offers several machine types that match different business sizes in Rwanda.
Small Semi-Automatic Egg Tray Machine
Small machines produce 1,000 to 1,500 trays per hour. They suit family farms, cooperatives, and entrepreneurs testing the market. These machines have a compact footprint. They fit into small workshops. Drying is usually done by sun exposure or a small drying room.
| 型号 | 容量 | 功率 | 重量 | 最适合 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SL-1000-3×1 | 1,000 pcs/h | 38 kW | 2500公斤 | 小型农场、初创企业 |
| SL-1500-4×1 | 1500件/小时 | 38 kW | 3000公斤 | Small factories, self-use |
These models are easy to operate. They need 3-4 workers per shift. Investment is low. Many Rwandan buyers start here before scaling up.
Four-Side Rotary Egg Tray Machine
The four-side rotary machine is the most popular choice for medium businesses. Output ranges from 2,500 to 3,000 trays per hour.

These lines are ideal for businesses targeting supermarkets, hotels, export markets, or large poultry farms across Rwanda.
Which Egg Tray Drying Methods Are Suitable for Production in Rwanda?
Rwanda has a temperate climate with two rainy seasons. Sun drying is possible but unreliable during the long rains from March to May. Shuliy recommends three drying options.
| 干燥方法 | Investment Level | 最适合 | Climate Suitability |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sun drying | 最低 | Small machines, dry season | Limited during rainy season |
| Multi-layer drying room | 中等 | 1,000-3,000 pcs/h output | Works year-round |
| Brick tunnel dryer | Medium-high | Commercial production lines | Works in all weather |
| 金属网带干燥机 | 更高 | High-output lines | Fast, compact |
Most commercial buyers in Rwanda choose the brick dryer. It uses wood, coal, or diesel. These fuels are easier to source than natural gas in many rural areas. The drying room is also popular for small and medium machines because it costs less and can run on electricity or diesel.
Power and Voltage in Rwanda
Rwanda uses 230V / 50Hz single-phase power for households and small businesses. Industrial connections are often 380V / 50Hz three-phase. Shuliy machines are built for 380V three-phase power as standard.
For areas with only 230V supply, two options exist:
- Install a three-phase connection through REG (Rwanda Energy Group)
- Use a step-up transformer or generator set
Many Rwandan factories use diesel generators as backup because grid power can be unstable. Shuliy machines draw about 70% of installed power during normal operation. This reduces generator fuel consumption.
How Is an Egg Tray Making Machine Shipped to Rwanda?
Rwanda is landlocked. Machines arrive through the Port of Mombasa in Kenya or the Port of Dar es Salaam in Tanzania. From the port, containers travel by road to Kigali. Transport time adds 7-14 days to sea freight.
Most machines ship in 40-foot containers. Small models fit into one container. Larger production lines may need one or two containers. Shuliy provides container loading photos and export documents to simplify customs clearance.
Buyers should budget for:
- Sea freight to Mombasa or Dar es Salaam
- Port handling and customs clearance
- Road transport to the final site
- Import duties and VAT
- Installation support
How to Choose the Right Machine for Your Rwandan Business?
Selecting the right model depends on four factors:
1. Daily output target
Small farms need 1,000-1,500 pieces per hour. Commercial suppliers need 2,500 pieces per hour or more. Large factories serving supermarkets or exports need 4,000+ pieces per hour.
2. Available facility space
Small machines need 50-100 square meters. Complete production lines need 800-1,500 square meters including drying and storage areas.
3. Fuel and power access
Choose a dryer that matches your local fuel supply. Brick dryers suit areas with wood or coal. Electric drying rooms work where power is stable.
4. Budget and growth plan
Start with a machine that matches current demand plus 30% growth. Upgrading too early wastes money. Buying too small forces early replacement.
What Affects Egg Tray Making Machine Price in Rwanda?
Several factors change the final quotation:
- Machine capacity: Higher output machines cost more
- 干燥系统: Brick dryers cost more than drying rooms
- Fuel type: Multi-fuel burners add cost but reduce long-term fuel risk
- Voltage configuration: 230V adaptation may require transformers
- Shipping route: Dar es Salaam or Mombasa affects inland transport cost
- Spare parts package: Extra molds and wear parts add to initial cost
Shuliy provides customized quotations based on these details rather than fixed price lists.
常见问题解答
What are egg trays called in Rwanda?
In Rwanda, egg trays are commonly called egg trays or egg crates in English and Kinyarwanda business contexts. Some suppliers also refer to them as “paper egg boxes” or simply “egg packaging.”
Can I start with a small machine and expand later?
Yes. Many Rwandan buyers start with the SL-1500-4×1. After building a customer base, they upgrade to a four-side rotary machine or a full production line.
How much waste paper is needed per day?
A machine producing 2,500 trays per hour consumes about 200 kg of dry waste paper per hour. On a 10-hour shift, that is 2,000 kg per day.
Is natural gas available for the dryer?
Natural gas is not widely available in Rwanda outside industrial zones. Most buyers use diesel, wood, or coal burners. Shuliy configures burners to match local fuel availability.
Can the machine produce colored trays?
Yes. Pigments can be added to the pulp to produce yellow, purple, green, or branded trays. This helps suppliers target supermarkets and hotels.
How many workers are needed?
Small machines need 3-4 workers. Automatic production lines need 2-4 operators per shift plus workers for raw material feeding and finished product handling.
What warranty does Shuliy offer?
Shuliy provides a 12-month warranty on mechanical and electrical components. Spare parts and lifetime technical support are available after the warranty period.
