Pulp Molding Machine

Pulp molding machine refers to equipment that converts waste paper into sustainable paper trays and protective packaging. Beston Group offers two specialized production lines to meet global market demands: egg tray machine with flexible molds for high-efficiency agricultural and beverage packaging and industrial packaging machine for customized industrial product protection. Let’s dive into the details of each professional solution below.

Two Types of Beston Pulp Molding Machine

Versatile Applications of Pulp Molding Machine Packaging

Our pulp moulding machine utilizes 100% waste paper and cardboard as the primary feedstock (including corrugated cartons, wrapping paper, old books, notebooks, A4 scraps, and document paper).
Note: For alternative non-paper fibers like bamboo or sugarcane, the maximum allowable content is 5%.

Type 1: Agricultural & Beverage Trays Production Lines

This category focuses on high-demand, standard agricultural and beverage packaging, turning paper waste into:

  • Egg trays & cartons: 20/30-hole trays and 6/12/18-hole boxes for optimal product protection.
  • Fruit trays: Protective layers for apples, pears, and other fresh produce.
  • Coffee cup holders: Sturdy, eco-friendly carriers for hot and cold beverages.
  • Nursery trays: Biodegradable containers for agricultural cultivation.

Type 2: Industrial Custom Packaging Production Lines

This system provides high-precision, customized packaging solutions to protect commercial goods during transit, including:

  • Electronic & cosmetic trays: Custom molded inserts for phones, appliances, and luxury cosmetics.
  • Disposable urinals & medical pulp products: Hygienic, single-use molded pulp containers designed for medical and healthcare facilities.
  • Heavy industrial & fragile good protectors: Tailored shock-absorption molds for wine bottles, automotive parts, and glassware.

Automated Efficiency: The 4-Step Pulp Molding Process

Whether you are manufacturing standard agricultural trays (like egg cartons and coffee carriers) or high-precision industrial custom packaging, the core production process remains identical. Beston production line utilizes a fully automated system to convert waste paper into premium protective packaging:

Step 1: Precision Pulping & Mixing

First, the raw feedstock—including waste newspapers, books, and corrugated cartons—is mixed with water inside the hydraulic pulper. We recommend a strict formulation ratio of 1:5 or 1:6 (paper to water) to achieve the ideal fiber consistency. The material is thoroughly shredded and blended into a uniform, high-quality crude pulp.

Step 2: Refining & Pulp Molding

Next, the processed mixture flows into the pulp storage pool for continuous refining. From here, a vacuum pump draws the conditioned slurry directly into the forming machine. The fibers are evenly distributed and compressed onto the forming molds, while excess water is extracted, preparing the damp trays for immediate transfer.

Step 3: Multi-Layer High-Efficiency Drying

Then, the molded wet trays enter the specialized drying phase. We highly recommend multi-layer metal drying system, which utilizes advanced hot air heating technology. By continuously circulating forced hot air, this system rapidly evaporates moisture and dries the trays thoroughly from the inside out in just 15 to 20 minutes.

Step 4: Automatic Stacking & Packing

Finally, once the drying cycle is complete, the finished products emerge with optimal rigidity and impact resistance. The dried paper trays are then automatically collected, counted, and stacked by a collector. Based on your factory setup, the final bundles are secured using an automatic packing machine or handled manually for shipping.

Advanced Metal Drying Solutions: Engineered for Maximum Thermal Efficiency

Beston’s metal drying line is an engineered heating tunnel designed for rapid, uniform moisture removal from molded paper trays. Operating as a critical component of our fully automated pulp molding machine, it delivers exceptional energy savings and perfect product rigidity.

  • Working principle: Automatically conveys wet molded trays through a temperature-controlled heating tunnel via a high-end metal mesh belt.
  • Drying temperature: Precision-controlled thermal zones ranging from 180℃ to 220℃.
  • Fuel options: Natural gas, diesel, gasoline, etc
  • Line types: Available in space-saving single-layer or highly compact multi-layer (up to 6 layers customizable) configurations.

Metal Drying Line of Egg Tray Machine

Hot Air Recycling

– Lower fuel costs
The interior is designed to maintain uniform temperature, airflow, and air pressure throughout. With built-in recycling fans, the system constantly reuses leftover heat. This ensures all trays dry evenly while saving a lot of energy and cutting the fuel cost.

Full PLC Automation

– Save labor & boost output
A smart PLC control system runs the entire drying line. Important settings, like heating temperature, fan speed, moisture exhaust, and moving speed, are adjusted automatically. This keeps production running smoothly with little manual work, boosting the production of paper pulp molding machine.

Modular Steel Design

– Fast assembly & long life
Built with high-quality, heat-resistant steel insulation panels, the machine locks heat inside to keep the factory safe and cool. The modular, bolt-together parts make on-site installation quick and easy, and the heavy-duty structure can run for decades with almost no maintenance.
