Paper egg carton production is processed by using waste paper. After simple processing, egg carton products can be obtained. There are two kinds of egg trays and egg boxes usually used for packaging eggs. Egg boxes are more sturdy when used for egg packaging, and have functions such as preservation and odor when placed inside the refrigerator. So egg boxes are often used in supermarkets and egg processing plants.

Raw materials for egg carton production line

Egg carton production can use corrugated cardboard boxes, waste quality, waste books, and other paper products to make egg cartons. It mainly uses recycled paper resources, crushing and pulping, and then egg cartons forming machines to form egg boxes.

In addition to waste paper, water, adhesives, and antimicrobial agents are essential. Adhesives add strength to paper egg trays. Antimicrobial agents extend the life of the egg tray and ensure food safety.

Because the raw material cost of egg carton production is low, the profit of egg cartons is high, which is why many people produce egg cartons.

Egg carton production line process

The process of egg carton production and egg tray production is the same. They all need to go through the steps of pulping → egg carton forming → egg carton drying → egg carton secondary processing (optional) → egg carton packaging.

Main machines for making egg cartons

Egg carton drying method

As mentioned above, you can choose a multi-layer egg carton dryer, which is efficient and space-saving. The dried fuel can be selected in various ways such as gas or fuel oil. Compared with brick kiln drying, the biggest advantage of the dryer is that it saves fuel and at the same time can save about 30% of energy.

In addition, egg carton drying can use natural drying, which is suitable for small-volume production. You can also build your brick kiln for drying, which requires sufficient space.
