Machine Structure & Working Principle
The 1500 pcs/h egg tray forming machine (Model SL-4*1) features a single-row, four-column mold configuration, meaning one rotation produces 4 egg trays. This efficient design balances production output with compact machine dimensions.
- Rotary Molding System: Continuous rotation enables efficient, consistent production
- Vacuum Suction: Even pulp distribution ensures uniform tray quality
- Precision Molds: Aluminum or copper molds for durability and accuracy
- PLC Control: User-friendly interface for easy operation and monitoring

Drying Methods for Egg Trays
After forming, egg trays require drying before they can be packaged and sold. The 1500 pcs/h egg tray forming machine supports three drying methods:
- Natural Drying: Place trays in sunlight. Best for regions with abundant sunshine. Drying time: 24-48 hours depending on weather conditions.
- Brick Kiln Drying: Self-built drying chamber using natural gas, coal, or biomass fuel. Higher initial investment but faster drying (25-30m³ capacity recommended). Works year-round.
- Metal Dryer (Recommended): Our egg tray drying box provides the most efficient solution. Intelligent temperature control with hot air circulation reduces drying time to just 30-40 minutes.
Complete Production Line Configuration
To establish a fully functional egg tray production facility, the 1500 pcs/h forming machine should be integrated with supporting equipment:
- Egg Tray Pulper: Converts waste paper into production-ready pulp
- Egg Tray Dryer: Accelerates drying process for higher throughput
- Egg Tray Packing Machine: Compacts and bundles finished trays for transport
