Pulp Making System:

The first and foremost step for egg carton making is breaking the raw material into pulp. A hydraulic pulper, water pump, pulp refiner and pulp pump are used to produce good quality pulp. After the pulp is produced, two types of pools are used for further processing. Pulp pool is used for temporarily storing pulp and the other pool is used for pulp refining.

Molding System:

A molding system contains a molding machine, vacuum pump, and an air compressor. It determines the quality, design and the scale of the production line. The shape, groove size, appearance, etc of the cartons depends on the dies of the molding machine. Dies have a lot of influence on the quality and quantity of the cartons. The molding system has detachable dies. The pulp formed in the first step is compressed in the air compressor and the mold is removed carefully with the help of the vacuum pump.

Drying & Packing System:

After the cartons are molded, they are being dried with the help of drying equipment. The egg cartons need to be hot pressed with the help of a hot press machine to make the cartons smooth and denser. The temperature might reach up to 200 degrees while the cartons are being hot pressed. And an automatic packing system includes hot press, packer and counter equipment. An automatic egg tray making machine will be more expensive but efficient.
