Production Process of Egg Tray
- Pulping Section
First, use a pulper to beat waste paper and water into pulp at a ratio of 1:10, and then send it to the pulp-adjusting tank; then use a pulp pump to pump the pulp into the pulp-supplying tank. At the same time, control the water inflow of the water tank through a valve to keep the pulp concentration in the pulp-supplying tank at 3% – 5%. This series of operations completes the pulping process. - Forming Section
The main machine cooperates with a vacuum pump. With the negative pressure generated by the vacuum pump, the pulp is adsorbed on the mold. The excess water will pass through the stainless-steel mesh and be discharged into the return water tank; after the pulp adsorbed on the mold is dehydrated by vacuum and initially formed, through the positive pressure generated by the air compressor, it is first blown onto the transfer mold, and then onto the pallet or mesh belt. - Drying Section
The formed paper trays are sent into the dryer through the mesh belt or pallet. After being dried for a specific time to make the paper trays completely dry, they are then counted and stacked by a stacker, and finally packed.

Types of YG Egg Tray Maker Machines
YG egg tray maker machines are mainly divided into two types: flip-plate machines and rotary drum machines.
Flip-Plate Egg Tray Maker Machine
A flip-plate machine is a compact, cost-effective option for small-scale production. It typically produces 1,000 to 1,500 pieces per hour and is suitable for egg trays, egg boxes, coffee cup trays, and industrial packaging products with a height of no more than 8 cm.
This type of paper egg tray making machine is especially suitable for new investors because of its lower investment threshold and simple operation.
Rotary Drum Egg Tray Maker Machine
A rotary drum machine is designed for medium and large-scale production. It usually produces 2,500 to 7,000 pieces per hour and offers smoother, more continuous operation. It is commonly paired with a brick kiln or multi-layer metal drying system for stable mass production.
| Item | Flip-Plate Machine | Rotary Drum Machine |
| Capacity | 1,000–1,500 pcs/hour | 2,500–7,000 pcs/hour |
| Suitable users | Startups and small factories | Medium and large packaging producers |
| Drying option | Natural drying is common | Brick kiln or multi-layer metal drying |
| Investment level | Lower | Higher |
| Best application | Small-batch and budget-controlled projects | Continuous large-scale egg tray production |

Why Choose a Paper Egg Tray Making Machine?
A paper egg tray making machine offers both economic and environmental advantages.
- It uses low-cost recycled paper instead of virgin materials.

For many manufacturers, a paper egg tray making machine is not only a packaging investment but also a way to enter the fast-growing green packaging market.
How to Choose the Right Egg Tray Production Machine for Your Egg Tray Production Line
Choosing the right machine requires balancing output targets, budget, and site conditions.
- Choose YG-1000 or YG-1500 if you are new to the industry, have limited capital, or plan to produce around 1,000–1,500 trays per hour.
- Choose YG-2500 or YG-3000 if you need stable medium-scale production and can invest in a drying system.
- Choose YG-4000, YG-5000, or YG-7000 if you have large orders, sufficient workshop space, and need continuous mass production.
- Choose multi-layer metal drying if land is limited and you want higher automation and better heat utilization.
- Choose brick kiln drying if your initial budget is limited and local fuel costs are competitive.
- Choose natural drying only if you have enough open space, labor, and reliable sunny weather.
Before purchasing, ask the supplier for a complete egg tray production machine layout, including pulping, forming, drying, packaging, installation requirements, and after-sales support.
