Raw materials to make paper pulp egg cartons
- Waste paper: Various types of waste paper can be used, such as newspapers, cardboard boxes, office paper, magazines, books, and other paper-based products. These materials are collected and sorted for the pulp-making process.
- Water: Water is an essential component in the paper pulp production. It helps in breaking down the waste paper and creating a slurry or pulp mixture that can be molded into the desired shape.
- Chemical additives or dye: Depending on the desired properties of the final egg cartons, certain chemical additives may be used. These additives can include bonding agents, such as starch or glue, to improve the strength and durability of the cartons. In addition, in order to make their products more recognizable, some customers will also add a certain proportion of dyes to the pulp to process egg cartons of different colors.
Final pulp trays of egg carton making machine

- Industrial Trays. Industrial trays are used for packing and transporting a variety of industrial products such as electronic parts, automotive parts, glassware, etc. They are usually of sturdy construction and have suitable compartments and recesses to keep tableware neat and sanitary. They usually have a sturdy structure and appropriate compartments to protect the integrity and safety of the products.
Main parts of the medium egg carton molding machine
The egg carton molding machine consists of several main components, including a PLC control panel, a reduction motor, a vacuum pump, an air compressor, forming molds, transfer molds, a frame, a gearbox, and a mechanical arm.
The working process begins with the vacuum pump creating a negative pressure, which automatically absorbs the pulp onto the forming molds. Subsequently, with the air compressor applying positive pressure, the molded egg cartons are transferred by the transfer molds and sent for drying.
This efficient and automated process ensures the precise shaping of the egg cartons. The PLC control panel allows for easy operation and monitoring of the machine, while the reduction motor and gearbox ensure smooth and controlled movement.
The vacuum pump and air compressor play crucial roles in creating the necessary pressure conditions for molding and transferring the cartons. The mechanical arm aids in the smooth movement of the molds during the production process. Overall, this well-structured machine guarantees the high-quality production of egg cartons with consistency and reliability.

Production notice about medium egg carton making machine
Many customers have a common question when purchasing the egg carton making machine: Can I produce egg cartons with just the molding machine? In response to this question, Shuliy Machinery Factory provides a comprehensive answer.
In reality, with a limited budget, it is indeed possible to produce egg cartons with just the molding machine. However, customers will need to establish their own pulping pool, storage pool, water pool, and other facilities to ensure a steady supply of pulp to the molding machine.
Alternatively, for customers with a larger budget, our factory can also provide the corresponding pulper machine and drying equipment. Of course, we can also develop exclusive egg tray processing solutions for our customers according to their factory size and location: including recommending the right machine model, providing a floor plan of the factory design, and performing 3D modeling.
