YG Machinery designs and manufactures the egg tray production machine to turn waste paper into strong egg trays and cartons. This fully automatic system handles pulping, forming, drying, and stacking in one smooth line. It works for poultry farms, egg distributors, and packaging suppliers worldwide. Our machine also runs as a dependable egg carton machine, shaping 30-cell trays, 12-hole cartons, or custom designs with the same high quality. You feed in recycled newspaper, cardboard scraps, or office waste, and the line delivers finished trays ready for packing. Many buyers first ask about the fully automatic egg tray machine price, but the real value sits in low operating cost and round-the-clock reliability. YG builds every egg tray moulding machine with a focus on energy savings, fast cycle times, and simple daily upkeep. Operators can learn the controls within a few days. The robust frame keeps vibration low and mould life long.
Egg Tray Production Machine Parameters
The table below lists seven standard models of our egg tray moulding machine series. Capacity runs from 1,000 pieces per hour up to 7,000 pieces per hour. Actual output depends on tray design, pulp quality, and drying conditions.
| Model | YG-1*3 | YG-1*4 | YG-3*4 | YG-4*4 | YG-4*8 | YG-5*8 | YG-6*8 |
| Capacity (pcs/h) | 1000 | 1500 | 2500 | 3500 | 4500 | 5500 | 7000 |
| Forming Mould Quantity | 3 | 4 | 12 | 16 | 32 | 40 | 48 |
| Total Power (kW) | 40 | 40 | 50 | 60 | 130 | 140 | 186 |
| Electricity Consumption (kw/h) | 28 | 29 | 35 | 42 | 91 | 98 | 130 |
| Worker | 3-5 | 4-6 | 4-6 | 4-6 | 4-6 | 5-7 | 6-8 |
These numbers give you a clear baseline. Keep in mind that the machine cost changes with drying method options, mould materials, and auxiliary equipment. We suggest sharing your daily output goal and tray samples so we can propose an exact fit.
How an Egg Carton Machine Handles Waste Paper Price Fluctuations?
Paper waste costs swing often. One month old newspaper is cheap, the next month it jumps 20 percent. A well-designed system should handle a wide fiber mix, not just one perfect raw material. YG installs a high-consistency refiner and an impurity separator in the stock preparation section. These units break down mixed office paper, corrugated clippings, and even a share of bagasse without clogging the screens. As a result, you can buy the cheapest available waste paper while keeping pulp quality stable. In addition, the pulper adjusts retention time easily. Longer pulping softens tough fibers; shorter pulping saves power when you run clean carton waste. Therefore, your raw material cost stays flexible. This way, your line absorbs price shocks instead of passing them to your margin.
Pulp Utilization and Your Fully Automatic Egg Tray Machine Price
Every gram of wasted fiber adds to your production cost and stretches the payback time on your investment. YG tackles this with a closed-loop water system. White water from the forming station flows back to the pulper, carrying fine fibers that many open systems simply lose. Furthermore, vacuum-assisted forming with precision-machined moulds spreads an even layer of pulp. That means almost zero trimming waste. Excess pulp from the forming area also returns to the mixing chest automatically. The result is a fiber utilization rate above 98 percent. In daily terms, you produce more trays from one ton of paper. This high efficiency directly lowers the cost per piece and makes the initial machine cost look even more attractive. When you calculate return on investment, remember that a 2 percent gain in pulp use can add thousands of dollars to your yearly profit.
How an Egg Tray Moulding Machine Optimizes Packaging and Transport Costs?
Egg trays are light but bulky. Shipping half-empty containers hurts your bottom line. A smart egg tray moulding machine reduces that volume. First, we add a hot-press station right after drying. The hot press compresses the tray gently, shaving off a few millimeters of stack height without harming cushion performance. As a result, one pallet holds up to 15 percent more pieces. Next, the automated counter and stacker forms tight, stable bundles. These bundles resist shifting during transit, so you lose fewer trays to damage. Moreover, our team helps you compute the optimal bundle size for a standard 40-foot container. You can often squeeze in two extra layers per container. Small changes like this trim freight cost per tray noticeably. So, an egg tray moulding machine from YG does more than shape pulp; it actively lowers logistics expense for your export business.
How the Egg Tray Production Machine Reduces Carbon Emissions?
Sustainability matters to modern buyers and regulators. The egg tray production machine helps you cut carbon output in several built-in ways. To begin with, the process uses no chemical additives. Pure mechanical pulping keeps the product biodegradable and the working environment safe. Next, the drying section reuses exhaust heat through a well-designed duct system. We can also integrate solar-assisted drying panels on the roof of the drying line. These panels pre-heat the air and slash coal or gas consumption. In addition, all main motors and vacuum pumps run with variable frequency drives. As a result, real power consumption stays around 70 percent of the total installed power, as the parameter table shows. Finally, the feedstock is recycled paper, which avoids landfill methane. Operating a clean, low-carbon line makes your business stand out and often meets requirements for green packaging supplier certification.
