Functional Advantages of Paper Egg Trays



Shock-absorbing Performance
The egg trays can better adapt to the shape of eggs, which can protect the eggs from external shocks and prevent the damage or deterioration of the eggs caused by light, moisture, etc. It protects the eggs well and reduces losses during transportation and storage.
Convenient
Egg trays simplify the entire circulation process of eggs from farm to market. Designed for ease of handling, stacking, and transport, they minimize the risk of breakage while streamlining logistics. Their uniform shape and lightweight design make them convenient for storage and quick loading, improving overall efficiency in egg distribution.
Environmental-friendly
Compared with plastic egg trays, paper egg trays are recyclable and degradable. The waste paper and used egg trays can also be repurposed to produce new trays or other paper-based products. This sustainable cycle not only reduces environmental burden but also aligns with global efforts toward greener manufacturing practices.

Important Accessories
- Screw air compressor: Blows the egg tray from the forming mold to the transfer mold, and from the transfer mold to the conveyor belt/tray.
- Vacuum pump: Sucks the slurry under the forming machine onto the forming mold, and at the same time sucks out the water from the egg tray on the forming mold, and recycles the pumped water to the sewage tank to form water recycling.
- Homogenizer (pulp beater): The homogenizer further refines pulp, ensuring uniform consistency for efficient forming in the egg tray maker machine.
- Air storage tank: Work with the air compressor to enhance the blowing strength of the air compressor.
- Negative pressure tank: Plays the role of water vapor separation.

Environmental Benefits of Paper Egg Tray Making Machine
Egg tray plant play a key role in promoting sustainable manufacturing. Here are four major environmental benefits:

Waste Paper Recycling
These machines rely on waste paper, such as old newspapers, cartons, and office paper, as the main raw material. By converting discarded paper into useful packaging, they reduce the volume of waste sent to landfills. This process supports circular economy goals and helps conserve natural resources like wood and water.

Biodegradable Output
The trays produced by the egg tray machine are made entirely from natural fibers. They are fully biodegradable and decompose within weeks under natural conditions. This makes them an environmentally responsible alternative to plastic, which takes hundreds of years to break down and contributes to long-term pollution.

Low Energy Consumption
Modern egg tray machines are engineered with energy efficiency in mind. From pulping to drying, each stage is optimized to use minimal electricity or fuel. Energy-saving motors and smart control systems help reduce operational costs while minimizing the plant’s overall carbon footprint, making production more sustainable.

Reduced Carbon Emissions
With optimized drying line, egg tray machine emits significantly less carbon dioxide during the production process. This contributes to cleaner air and supports global efforts to fight climate change. Lower emissions also help businesses comply with environmental standards and reduce regulatory pressure.
