Waste Paper: Raw Materials to Make Egg Tray
The raw materials available for the BTF8-8 egg tray machine include cartons, newspapers, books, notebooks, A4 paper, document paper, pulp, etc. They are primarily derived from pulp or paper-based materials. Different raw materials have different pulping times according to their hardness. If you have questions about raw materials, you can contact our project consultants.
Work Flow of BTF8-8 Egg Tray Machine
Step 1: Pulp Slurry Preparation
Waste paper is processed by the hydrapulper with water to make coarse pulp. The pulp is then transferred to the homogenization pool for further concentration adjustment. Finally, the prepared pulp is stored in the finished pulp pool.
Step 2: Pulp Molding
The pulp pump conveys the prepared pulp to the forming machine. Under under the suction power of vacuum pumps, the pulp adheres to molds to form egg trays. The air compressor then blows the formed egg trays off the molds.
Step 3: Metal Drying
The metal drying line utilizes flexible fuel options (such as natural gas, diesel, or LPG) to generate hot air at 180°C to 220°C to dry egg trays. Fans rapidly removes evaporated water. Once dried, the egg trays are conveyed to the packing machine.
Step 4: Egg Tray Packing (Optional)
The automatic stacker arranges dried egg trays into neat piles to improve space utilization. The packing machine compresses the piles to reduce volume for easier storage and transport. Finally, the packed trays are ready for delivery and sale.
Advantages of BTF8-8 Egg Tray Making Machine
Efficient Metal Drying Method
The metal dryer is welded with thickened materials and adopts high-density mineral wool insulation. All high-temperature zones feature 316 stainless steel. With the circulating fan and automatic dehumidifying system, its energy efficiency is over 10% higher than peers.
- All-Weather Efficient Production: Greatly boosts productivity and protects production schedules from weather disruptions.
- Lower LaborCosts: Intelligent PLC control cuts labor costs effectively.
- Guarantee Egg Tray Quality: Even heating eliminates the risk of egg tray deformation and cracking.
High Egg Tray Qualification Rate (>99.5%)
The equipment maintains a stable finished product qualification rate of over 99.5% under continuous operation. This high yield is directly supported by two core technologies:
- Advanced Vacuum Forming Technology: Ensures precise pulp fiber deposition and uniform wet-tray thickness, eliminating structural defects from the molding stage.
- Automatic Metal Drying Line: Delivers uniform heat distribution and controlled moisture evaporation, which removes the internal stress that causes egg tray deformation, warping, or cracking.
Top Mold Processing
We offer both aluminum and plastic molds to meet diverse customer needs. Supported by 30 years of mold manufacturing experience and CNC machining centers, we deliver an annual output of approximately 1,200 mold sets, earning high trust from global clients.
- Aluminum Molds: 5-8 years long lifespan; wear and oxidation resistance; reduces resistance during pulp molding.
- Plastic Molds: 2-3 years lifespan; cost-effective choice; less pulp residue and less cleaning frequency.
Precision Manufacturing & Quality Assurance
- All structural frames are fabricated from national-standard steel.
- All machined components are processed by CNC equipment.
- Every unit undergoes inspections by the Production, Quality Inspection and Design Departments. It can only be delivered after passing all checks.
- All auxiliary parts adopt first-tier brands, such as Delixi, Black+Decker, Siemens and Schneider Electric.
- Key transmission parts are made of customized special steel, including 40Cr and 304 stainless steel.

FAQs
01Can sugarcane bagasse, straw, and other plant fibers be used to make egg trays?
Other plant fibers or alternative raw materials should not exceed 5% of the total mix.
02What is the ratio of paper to water for egg tray making?
The precise mixing ratio by weight varies across different production stages:
- Pulping Stage: 1:5 to 1:6. Waste paper is processed by our high-consistency hydrapulper.
- Pulping Blending Stage: 1:10 to 1:15. The pulp is further diluted in the homogenization pool to maintain stable consistency.
- Drying Stage: 1:2 to 1:3. Excess moisture of egg trays is removed via evaporation.
03What is the temperature of metal dryer?
Top Layer: 200°C-210°C. Middle Layer: 150°C. Bottom Layer: 80°C-90°C.
04How long does it take to install the BTF8-8 egg tray machine?
05Do you provide a warranty for egg tray machine?
