The egg tray production line is a highly efficient and automated system designed for the mass production of various pulp-molded products, including egg trays, fruit trays, cup holders, shoe supports, and inner packaging for electronic products. The complete line covers multiple processes, including pulping, forming, hot pressing, drying, and conveying.
With an output capacity ranging from 1,000 to 8,000 pieces per hour, it meets the needs of customers of different production scales. We offer a wide range of models and configuration options, including semi-automatic and fully automatic systems, all of which support customized solutions. Whether it’s mold size, production line layout, or forming process, we tailor each setup to the customer’s specific requirements, making it suitable for a diverse range of packaging applications.
Function of Egg Tray Equipment
The primary function of the egg tray production line is to transform various types of waste paper into practical pulp molded products. Through processes such as pulping, forming, and drying, the system utilizes paper as raw material.
It processes it with automated equipment to produce finished products that are structurally stable, shock-absorbing, and pressure-resistant. These products are widely used in food, daily goods, and industrial packaging, effectively increasing the value of waste paper and offering reliable molded packaging solutions.
Raw Materials Include:
- Waste newspapers
- Book paper
- Cardboard boxes
- Paper scraps
- Paperboard
Finished Products Include But are Not Limited to:
- Egg trays
- Fruit trays
- Industrial inner supports
- Cup holders
- Bottle trays
- Shoe supports
- Electronic product cushioning trays

Egg Tray Production Line Process
1, Pulping Stage – Pulp Mixing Tank
Waste paper is fed into the hydrapulper, where it is broken down into pulp with the help of water. The pulp then enters the mixing tank, where the concentration is adjusted and kept uniform through a stirring system.
2, Forming Stage – Egg Tray Forming Machine
The prepared pulp is delivered to the forming machine, where it is shaped into wet molded products like egg trays or cup holders using a vacuum suction system and forming molds.
3, Drying Process – Three Ways
After forming, the wet pulp products enter the drying stage to remove moisture and improve strength. There are three common drying methods, and customers can choose based on their specific needs:
- Multi-layer Metal Dryer
- Brick Drying Room
- Natural Sun Drying
We can recommend the best solution based on your site conditions and budget.
4, Hot Pressing (Optional) – Hot Press Machine
For higher-quality products like industrial packaging inserts or premium trays, an additional hot pressing process can be added to make the products smoother, more durable, and better-looking.
5, Finished Product Stacking (Optional)
After drying, finished products can be automatically stacked using a stacker system, reducing labor and improving packaging efficiency.
