Raw materials for manufacturing paper trays
The raw materials used in manufacturing paper trays primarily consist of recycled paper, often sourced from newspapers, cardboard, and other paper waste.
These materials are collected, sorted, and processed into paper pulp. The paper pulp is then molded and dried to create sturdy and eco-friendly paper trays. This recycling process not only reduces the environmental impact of paper waste but also supports sustainable packaging solutions.
Egg tray manufacturing process
The key things to look out for in the egg tray production line are to ensure the quality of the pulp, the design of the moulds and the control of the drying process in order to produce a high quality, sturdy egg tray product.
Step 1: Preparation of raw materials
Firstly, waste paper needs to be prepared as raw materials. These raw materials usually include paper materials such as old newspapers and waste cardboard.
step 2: Pulp Preparation
Pulp preparation is a crucial step in making egg trays. Shredded waste paper is mixed with water and soaked to form pulp. The pulp is stirred and ground to ensure it has the right consistency and texture.
step 3: Molding
To make paper egg trays, the pulp is poured into egg tray moulds, which are shaped to resemble the shape of an egg. Excess moisture is removed while the pulp is compressed into the desired shape, the egg tray.
step 4: Drying
After moulding, the egg tray is sent to a drying chamber to remove the remaining water. The drying chamber can be either natural or using specialized drying equipment. This step ensures that the trays are completely dry for storage and use.
step 5: Hot pressing and Packaging
After drying, the trays are hot pressed to give them a cleaner appearance and to ensure consistency. They can then be stacked and packaged ready for dispatch to market.
Egg tray production line equipment
This machine is specially designed to crush paper into paper pulp, in preparation for the egg tray molding.
This paper tray molding machine forms paper pulp into shapes that you require, such as egg tray, egg carton, coffee cup tray, nursery tray, etc. Our egg tray machine can produce 1000-8000 paper trays per hour.
Egg tray dryer machine
Because the paper trays are wet when they are just produced, they need to be dried in t he egg tray drying machine. This is a metal dryer that can dry the egg trays quickly.
Hot pressing machine
After drying, to make the egg tray more beautiful and tidy, a heat press is needed.
Egg tray packing machine
After completing the above steps, we will use a packaging machine to pack the egg trays in batches for easy transportation and sales.

Egg tray moulds are usually made from durable materials such as metal or plastic. They come in a variety of shapes and sizes, each designed to make a specific type of paper tray, such as those used to hold six eggs, ten eggs or even larger quantities.
Functions in the egg tray production line
During the egg tray production process, the pulp is poured into these moulds, excess water is drained and the pulp takes the shape of the mould compartment. After drying, the paper trays are removed from the moulds to form the final product for egg packaging and transport.
Cost analysis of egg tray production line start-up
| Item | Details | Cost |
| Raw materials | One tonne of waste paper can produce 12000-15000 pieces of egg tray (according to the weight of the customer’s finished product) According to the finished egg tray 80 grams, a tonne of waste paper is 1,000,000 grams, a tonne of paper is out of the egg tray 12,500 pieces, assuming that the price of a tonne of waste paper is 1,500 yuan, then the cost of each piece of 1,500/12,500=0.12 yuan | Raw material cost per piece of egg tray: 0.12 yuan |
| Labour | 6 labor for natural drying and 4 labor for metal drying. Domestic calculation per piece of 0.02 yuan | Labor: 0.02 yuan per piece |
| Electricy | According to the output, according to the power can be calculated, the higher the output, the lower the cost, an average of 0.02 yuan per piece | Electricy: 0.02 yuan per piece |
| Drying | Electricity: 0.02 yuan per piece | Coal: 0.03 yuan per piece Wood: 0.03 yuan per piece Natural gas: 0.06 yuan per piece Diesel: 0.08 yuan per piece |
| Electricity | 12 yuan per kilogram of pigment, a kilogram can be out of the egg tray 3000-4000 tablets |
