The egg tray production machine is a core component of the pulp molding production line. It forms pulp into products like egg trays, fruit trays, cup holders, and more by vacuum suction onto molds. The machine is easy to operate and highly automated, making it suitable for factories of all sizes. It is widely used in food packaging, agriculture, industrial cushioning, and other sectors.
Working Principle & Production Process
The egg tray production machine uses the vacuum forming principle:
Pulp is delivered to the forming mold by a supply pump. Under vacuum suction, the pulp adheres evenly to the mold surface, creating a wet tray. The wet tray is then transferred via a transfer mold to the drying section. This process is automatic and efficient.
Production Flow:
Waste paper pulping → Pulp filtering & mixing → Forming → Dehydration & transfer → Drying → Finished product stacking
Product Applications & Mold Flexibility
The egg tray machine can produce a wide range of molded pulp products by simply changing the mold, including but not limited to:
- Egg trays (chicken, duck, etc.)
- Cup holders, fruit trays, bottle trays
- Shoe inserts, electronic packaging trays
- Industrial cushioning trays, medical packaging
Mold customization is available to meet various product shapes, sizes, and uses.
