An egg tray production machine converts recycled waste paper into shock-absorbent molded pulp packaging, the most sustainable alternative to single-use plastic for fragile item protection. It creates breathable, structurally stable products that prevent damage during transport and storage while supporting global environmental goals. YG builds reliable, high-efficiency egg tray production machines that streamline the entire manufacturing process with minimal manual labor. Our egg paper tray making machine is engineered for consistent 24/7 operation, making it suitable for both small family workshops and medium-scale production facilities.

How an Egg Tray Production Machine Works?
The entire production process follows a fully automated three-stage workflow that requires only 2-3 operators to monitor:
Pulping stage
- Waste paper (newspapers, cardboard, office paper) is mixed with water at a 1:10 ratio in a high-efficiency hydrapulper to break down into a uniform fiber slurry
- The system transfers the slurry to a conditioning tank, where you can add pigments, waterproofing agents or other additives as needed.
- A pulp pump delivers the mixture to a supply tank, where the system automatically adds water to maintain a consistent 3%-5% fiber concentration.
Forming stage
- A vacuum system creates negative pressure that pulls the slurry evenly onto precision aluminum alloy molds
- Excess water drains through stainless steel mesh screens and is recycled back to the water tank
- Once the wet pulp has solidified into the desired shape, compressed air blows the formed product onto a transfer mold
- A second air blast transfers the wet product to the drying conveyor belt
Drying and finishing stage
- Wet products pass through a temperature-controlled drying chamber set to 180-220°C
- After 15-20 minutes of continuous drying, all residual moisture is removed
- Finished products are automatically counted and stacked by the stacking machine, ready for packaging
Egg Tray Manufacturing Machine Applications
- Poultry industry: Standard 30-cell egg trays, 12-egg cartons and quail egg trays that reduce breakage during shipping
- Food and beverage industry: Coffee cup holders, ventilated fruit trays, vegetable trays and takeaway food containers
- Packaging industry: Shock-absorbent packaging for electronics, glassware, ceramics and industrial components
- Medical industry: Hygienic disposable bedpans, surgical trays and instrument holders
- Agricultural industry: Biodegradable seedling pots that can be planted directly into the soil
Customization Capabilities for Diverse Packaging Needs
Our egg paper tray making machine supports extensive customization to meet unique customer requirements:
- Interchangeable mold system: Quick-change mold design allows switching between different product types in just a few hours
- Color customization: Food-safe pigments can be added to the pulping stage to produce products in any desired color
- Functional coatings: You can apply optional water-resistant, oil-resistant or anti-static coatings for specialized applications.
- Size and shape customization: We can design custom molds to produce products of any size or shape according to customer drawings
Eco-Friendly Production Advantages of Egg Tray Production Machine
100% recycled raw materials: Uses only post-consumer waste paper, no virgin wood pulp required. It diverts tons of paper from landfills each year, reducing methane emissions while providing access to extremely low-cost, widely available raw materials.
Closed-loop water system: Recycles over 90% of process water with near-zero discharge. This eliminates the need for expensive wastewater treatment facilities and cuts your water utility bills by up to 80%.
Zero plastic & full biodegradability: All products are 100% plastic-free and break down naturally in 90 days without microplastics.
70% lower carbon footprint: Consumes 60-70% less energy than plastic manufacturing and produces no toxic emissions. This allows you to offer carbon-neutral packaging options that attract eco-conscious brands and consumers.
