为什么为您的家禽养殖场选择专用的蛋托生产机？
Many farm owners wonder: Is making egg trays yourself complicated? Does it take a lot of labor and resources? The answer: with the right egg tray production machine, producing trays in-house saves time, effort, and money compared to buying.
Modern fully automatic egg tray production machines handle the entire process—from raw material preparation to finished trays—without much manual work. They are suitable for small, medium, and large farms. In-house production can cut tray costs by 30–50% and allows customization for different egg sizes (starter eggs, regular eggs, or free-range eggs), solving the problem of mismatched trays when buying externally.
This article breaks down the full egg tray production process—from raw material preparation to finished product storage—highlighting the key equipment at each step. It helps you quickly understand what machines are needed and how to choose the right egg tray making machine for your farm.
Main Raw Materials for Egg Tray Production
Egg trays are mainly made from recycled paper, including:
- Waste cardboard (corrugated paper)
- Used newspapers and books
- Paper offcuts and scraps
These materials are widely available and low-cost. Recycling them significantly reduces production costs and supports eco-friendly practices.
Key Tip: After shredding the paper, remove impurities like stones and plastic. This prevents damage to the molding machine and ensures high-quality egg trays.
Step-by-Step Egg Tray Production Process with a Poultry Farm Egg Tray Production Machine
Egg tray production has four main stages: pulping, molding, drying, and packing.
浆化系统
- Raw Material Input: Add waste newspapers, cardboard, or paper cans into the hydraulic pulper.
- Physical Breakdown: High-speed water flow completely separates the paper fibers, creating a uniform pulp.
- Pulp Adjustment: Add water to reach the ideal pulp concentration, usually around 5%, ensuring even molding.
- Additives (Optional): Water-resistant agents (like paraffin) or colorants can be added to improve durability and appearance.
Molding System
- Vacuum Suction: The pulp is transferred to the bottom of the molding machine. A vacuum pump creates negative pressure, pulling fibers evenly onto the mold surface.
- Dehydration & Demolding: Most water is removed during suction. Then, the partially formed wet tray is blown off by compressed air onto a conveyor belt.
- Key Advantage: Ensures standardized grooves and consistent tray size for easy stacking and transport.
Drying Methods
- Brick Kiln Drying: Low cost, suitable for small factories; fuel can be coal or wood.
- Metal Drying Machine: Highly automated, compact, uses natural gas or diesel, and has high thermal efficiency.
- Physical Change: Drying at 150–200°C evaporates water and quickly increases tray strength.
- 热压： Some high-quality trays are hot-pressed for smooth surfaces and precise dimensions.
- Stacking & Counting: Trays are automatically counted, stacked, and packed for easy transport and storage.
- Finished Product Features: Standardized size, strong structure, and both practical and attractive.
Why More Poultry Farms Make Their Own Egg Trays？
