A paper egg tray making machine is a professional pulp molding equipment that uses waste paper as raw material to produce egg trays and other pulp packaging products. It turns waste paper into useful packaging products through three core processes: pulping, molding and drying, which are all eco-friendly and cost-effective.
Also known as an egg tray molding machine, it can produce different types of pulp products by changing molds. You can use it to make egg trays, egg boxes, coffee cup holders, fruit trays and industrial packaging liners according to your business needs. It is widely used in poultry farming, packaging processing and other industries, and is an ideal equipment for small and medium-sized entrepreneurs to start low-cost projects.

Application of Paper Egg Tray Making Machine
This egg crate making machine has a wide range of application scenarios, and can produce different pulp products to meet the needs of different industries:
- Poultry farming and egg packaging: You can use it to produce egg trays, egg boxes and other poultry packaging products. The pulp egg tray has good shock absorption and breathability, which can effectively protect eggs from damage during transportation.
- Food and beverage packaging: It can produce coffee cup holders, fruit trays, wine bottle holders and other food packaging products. The pulp material is safe and degradable, which meets the requirements of food contact packaging.
- Industrial product packaging: You can also use it to produce industrial packaging liners for electronic products, hardware and ceramic products. The custom-molded liner can fit the product shape perfectly and provide good shock absorption protection during transportation.
- Agricultural product packaging: It is suitable for producing fruit trays, vegetable trays and other agricultural product packaging. The breathable pulp material can keep fruits and vegetables fresh for a longer time during transportation.
6 Paper Egg Tray Making Machine Features
Our paper egg tray making machine has many practical advantages designed according to actual production needs:
- Multiple capacity options: We have different models for you to choose from, with capacity ranging from 1000pcs/h to 7000pcs/h. You can choose the most suitable model according to your production scale and budget.
- Wide range of producible products: You can produce different types of pulp products by changing molds. In addition to egg trays, you can also produce egg boxes, cup holders, fruit trays, industrial liners and other products. One machine can meet the production needs of multiple products, which greatly improves equipment utilization.
- Environmentally friendly production process: It uses 100% waste paper as raw material, and all wastewater generated during production can be recycled. The final products are fully degradable, which meets the environmental protection requirements of most countries and regions.
- Multiple mold options: We provide plastic molds as the standard configuration, and you can also choose aluminum molds or half-aluminum, half-plastic molds according to your needs. Different mold materials have different costs and service lives, and you can choose according to your budget and production volume.
- Simple operation and stable operation: The egg crate making machine has a simple structure and is easy to operate. Workers can master the operational skills after short training. The whole production line runs stably, with a low failure rate and low later maintenance cost.
- Three types of machines for different needs: We have three types of egg box making machines: flip plate machine (suitable for small-scale production, low investment), rotary machine (suitable for large-scale mass production, high efficiency) and reciprocating machine (suitable for custom industrial liners, high flexibility). You can choose the most suitable type according to your business positioning.
4 Common Drying Modes For Paper Egg Tray Production
1. Natural Sun Drying
Place molded egg trays on bamboo or galvanized trays, arrange them on drying racks, then push racks to open-air areas for dehydration via sunlight and natural wind. You usually need 100-200 sets of racks; each rack holds 24-30 mesh nets, and each mesh net carries 3-4 egg trays.
Advantages: Zero energy consumption to cut running costs sharply
Disadvantages: Needs more labor, occupies a large land area, relies heavily on weather conditions
2. Oven Drying
Load molded egg trays on galvanized trays and racks, then move them into a closed drying oven for 30 minutes of baking. One oven can hold 10-12 transport trolleys, each trolley loads 90-100 egg trays, and 10 extra trolleys support cyclic continuous operation.
Advantages: Runs normally on rainy/windy days, takes much less land space
Disadvantages: Needs higher labor input for trolley circulation
3. Civil Tunnel Drying
Molded egg trays travel through a 40- 70 m long brick-built drying tunnel via mesh belts, finishing dehydration in 15 minutes under 180-200℃ constant temperature. Available fuels include coal, wood, natural gas and diesel.
Advantages: Lower construction cost than metal drying lines, easy to achieve full automation
Disadvantages: Occupies a long linear space, brings higher fuel expenses
4. Metal Tunnel Drying
The egg box-making machine adopts enclosed steel-structured conveyor lines for continuous high-temperature drying, featuring a compact layout, stable temperature control and round-the-clock automated production, ideal for large-volume mass production schedules.
Frequently Asked Questions About Paper Egg Tray Making Machine
A1: We provide 4 mature drying solutions: natural sun drying, drying oven curing, civil construction tunnel drying and metal conveyor drying. You can pick the one matching your site condition, budget and production schedule.
A2: The production water runs in a closed circulating loop with zero external discharge. You only need to add water periodically to make up for moisture lost in sun-drying or thermal-drying procedures.
A3: With regular proper maintenance, plastic molds have a 5-year service life, while aluminum molds can work for 7 years. Well-maintained aluminum molds in domestic Chinese factories can even reach an 8-10 year lifespan.
A4: Absolutely not. It can produce egg boxes, shoe inserts, fruit trays, wine bottle holders, coffee cup carriers, seedling trays and various industrial packing liners with customized molds.
A5: Standard molds are made of polymer polycarbonate plastic, and transfer molds use PP material. We offer custom aluminum molds for high-standard finished products, or half-plastic, half-aluminum molds to cut nearly half the mold budget. Plastic molds work better when your hourly output exceeds 2500 pieces.
