How can a single machine transform a production line and boost profits?

A South African paper product manufacturer recently found the answer when they purchased our egg tray drying room. This investment not only improved their drying efficiency but also allowed them to scale production, reduce energy costs, and meet growing market demands with consistent product quality.

Client background and industry needs

The client is based in South Africa, a country rich in waste paper resources and with an expanding poultry industry, which fuels a high demand for paper egg trays. The client runs a paper recycling and molded pulp product factory, producing egg trays for local farms and supermarkets.

However, the local climate is highly variable, and traditional natural drying methods are extremely inefficient and heavily dependent on weather conditions. This not only occupies a large amount of space but also results in prolonged drying times, causing egg trays to warp and mold due to moisture exposure, directly impacting product quality and factory production capacity.

The customer urgently requires an efficient, stable, and weather-independent drying solution to meet their growing production demands.

Our tailored solution

After conducting a comprehensive analysis of the client’s daily production requirements, factory layout, and energy costs, we recommended an egg tray drying room that matches the capacity of his existing egg tray machine.

This solution not only maximizes space utilization with a small footprint but also features a multi-tiered tray design capable of accommodating thousands of wet egg trays at once. We also provided him with detailed equipment layout diagrams and energy consumption estimates to help him achieve maximum production efficiency while keeping costs under control.

Advantages of our egg tray drying room

Our egg tray drying room is specially designed for efficient, uniform, and continuous drying.

Custom voltage and plug: adapted to South African power standards for plug-and-play operation.

Energy efficiency: uses optimized hot air circulation, reducing power consumption.

Space saving: compact structure with multiple-layer trolleys to maximize drying capacity.

Consistent quality: maintains uniform temperature to ensure egg trays are dried evenly without deformation.

All-weather operation: regardless of outdoor humidity or temperature, our drying rooms are equipped with temperature and humidity control systems and can operate reliably.

Our company’s service advantages

We provided a full set of services to guarantee customer satisfaction:

  • Trial video: demonstrating the machine’s operation before shipment.
  • Detailed packaging photos: allowing the client to confirm everything before delivery.
  • Secure packaging: plastic film wrapping plus wooden box reinforcement to prevent shipping damage.
  • Live video inspection: the client could verify the machine in real time before dispatch.

Customer feedback

Upon receiving the drying room, our technical team offered remote installation guidance via video call, ensuring the equipment was set up correctly and efficiently.

The client reported that their factory’s production scale has significantly expanded, with drying efficiency doubled and weather dependency eliminated. This upgrade has positioned them to fulfill larger orders and maintain a steady supply to their customers year-round.
