The SHM Paper Egg Tray Moulding Machine is a high-performance paper pulp moulding machine designed for large-scale, continuous production of paper egg trays. Engineered for precision and efficiency, this equipment is ideal for egg tray factories and packaging manufacturers seeking to expand capacity and reduce operational costs.

Using waste paper or recycled pulp as raw material, the paper moulding machine processes pulp through a series of integrated systems—including pulping, forming, drying, and stacking—resulting in durable and eco-friendly egg trays.

SHM Paper Pulp Egg Tray Machine Applications:

Application of 30-Cell Paper Egg Trays

30-cell egg trays are the standard packaging for chicken eggs in farms, markets, and retail supply chains. They are ideal for:

Egg farms

Poultry packaging plants

Food logistics companies

Agricultural cooperatives

These trays protect eggs from shock, allow for easy stacking, and facilitate safe transport. 

Their eco-friendly material also aligns with current trends in sustainable agriculture and packaging.

The Production Process of SHM Paper Egg Tray Moulding Line

The SHM system includes four main stages: Pulping → Forming → Drying → Stacking. 

Below is a breakdown of each stage in a typical SHM big-capacity egg tray production line:

1. Pulping System

Raw materials such as old newspapers, cardboard, or recycled paper are mixed with water and processed into a uniform slurry using a hydrapulper and pulp refiner system. SHM’s automatic pulping system ensures consistent pulp quality, which is crucial for stable tray formation.

2. Forming System

The pulp is pumped into the forming machine where it is vacuum-formed into 30-cell egg tray shapes using precision aluminum or plastic molds. The forming system is highly automated and includes mold-cleaning functions, ensuring smooth operation and minimal downtime.

3. Multi-Layer Drying Line

After forming, the wet egg trays are transferred onto a multi-layer metal drying line, where they pass through high-efficiency drying chambers powered by gas, diesel, steam, or biomass. This continuous drying system is capable of handling large quantities at once, drying the trays uniformly and quickly to prepare them for final packaging.

Advantages of SHM Multi-Layer Dryer:

• Space-saving vertical design

• Controlled temperature and airflow for energy efficiency

• Suitable for 24/7 continuous production

• Reduces labor and energy consumption compared to traditional single-layer dryers

4. Stacking and Packing

Once dry, the egg trays are automatically stacked in batches and conveyed to the packing station. Since 30-cell egg trays do not require trimming, this further simplifies the process and reduces operating costs.

Mould manufacturing

SHM’s high-quality paper egg tray moulding machine offers a robust solution for producing 30-cell molded pulp egg trays at industrial scale. With automated forming and drying, no need for trimming, and multi-layer drying lines, SHM provides a highly efficient production system that supports environmental sustainability and business growth.

Whether you're looking to scale up your egg packaging operation or enter the eco-friendly packaging market, SHM’s advanced egg tray molding line ensures long-term success, minimal waste, and maximum profitability.
