Background and Significance of Egg Tray Making Machine

In today’s electronic age, people are starting to consider going paperless. But there’s still a long way to go before we lose our dependence on this very important human product. From our newspapers to our paper wrappings, paper is still everywhere and most of them are ending up in our landfills creating a staggering amount of paper waste. There was a time when paper was a rare and precious commodity. Now it fills our planet.

The Way to Cope with the Waste Paper

How to deal with the waste paper has caught people’s eyes. Recycle all your paper waste is a good way to cope with this problem. Energy consumption is reduced by recycling, although there is debate concerning the actual energy savings realized. The Energy Information Administration claims a 40% reduction in energy when paper is recycled versus paper made with unrecycled pulp, while the Bureau of International Recycling (BIR) claims a 64% reduction. Some calculations show that recycling one ton of newspaper saves about 4,000 kWh (14 GJ) of electricity, although this may be too high (see comments below on unrecycled pulp). This is enough electricity to power a 3-bedroom European house for an entire year, or enough energy to heat and air-condition the average North American home for almost six months.

The Function Of Paper Molded Pulp Products

The main functionality of the molded pulp products is protection of packaging products, convenient and practical. Molded pulp products should be able to reliably accommodate packing provisions of the packaged product, the packaging products are not damaged in the process of transport,handling, use, and itself to meet the requirements of strength, stiffness and stability.The raw material is safe and they do not interact. The egg tray machine system can use all kinds of waste paper to produce high quality molded fibre tray products, such as, egg trays, egg boxes, apple trays, meat portion trays, vegetable portion trays, fruit portion trays, can trays, seed pots, seed cubes, etc.

Why Egg Tray Has Bright Prospective In Market?

A. Larger egg demand, larger egg tray demand. Among all the food products, egg is a very common and important item which used in almost every meal and in every refreshment. It is neither considered fully meatatarian, no vegetarian, and hence both the classes of the people consume it largely. The consumption and demand of eggs is increasing day by day. Though, the exact data of consumption can not be given, the reports about the egg present market trend show that the supply of eggs is less than the demand. And there is a wide gap in the supply-demand relationship which is not possible to reach balance in near future. The market trend of eggs is suggestive of good prospects of egg trays.

B. Paper Egg tray- good packing choice: The shape of the egg is ellipsoidal and cannot remain straight. When kept in a plain tray or box, there are chances of cracking or breaking which spoils the egg. In order to solve the storage problem, special type of trays are developed and named egg trays which are used in storing the eggs in lesser space. Egg tray is designed in such a shape so as to accommodate the shape of eggs.

Egg trays are generally made of paper pulp and contain conical cavities according to the size of the egg to be racked. Egg trays can be made from paper pulp as well as plastic, though the former is more in demand. Sometimes these egg trays are also made of plastic. But due to their lesser flexibility, they are not so much popular. Moreover plastic trays are hard to be degraded and costlier.

C. Wide poultry farming owners: poultry farming is now recognized as one of the most suitable agroindustries for villagers and for those who want to resort to diversification of farming activities. The poultry industry has many desirable features. It is widely dispersed and could be made more so as to form a people-oriented employment. It can be carried out in clean and open rural surroundings and adds to the traditional farming activities by providing valuable manure. It is also an industry with lot of potential. The term “poultry”, though now exclusively used with reference to chicken breeding, is a word that encompasses a wide range of thrive species such as duck, turkey, geese and guinea-fowl domesticated for economic purposes in fact. Overall, the scope of the egg tray industry is very wide.

Technological Process

A complete paper egg tray production line consists of Stock Preparation System Section, Egg Tray Molding Machine Section, Continuous Egg Tray Drying Oven and Egg Tray Conveyor System, Egg Tray Process Instrumentation, Instrument and Control Panels, Jobsite Installation Materials, Egg Tray Machine Auxiliary Equipment, etc. The egg tray production line includes three working systems: pulping system, forming system and drying system.

1. Egg Tray Pulping System

Equipments list Hydraulic pulpier Vibration screen Pulp pump Water pump Pulp milling machine Pulp pool impeller Pulp controller Paper scale Paper feeder

In the normal egg tray pulp molding process, the stock preparation system is very similar to a small paper mill. There is a hydraulic pulper that beats the waste paper to a uniform consistency with water to yield a 4% (solids) consistency pulp stock. To this mixture is added rosin sizing that usually forms about 1% of the solids content of the final pulp stock. This pulp is pumped into a storage chest. It is then pumped through a vibration screen, and a refiner to eliminate fibre bundles or lumps of unpulped paper and then it is dumped into a refined stock chest. The pulp slurry is pumped to the machine on demand from the machine control panel. White water is also added to the stock and is automatically metered with a concentration adjustment system.

2. Egg Tray Molding System

The Egg Tray Molding System consists of various equipment and dies.

The wet forming section consists of a series of wire screen covered wet forming dies mounted on a molding drum, and a matching set of transfer dies mounted on a transfer mechanism.

The egg tray forming die is made up of rigid corrosive resistant metal or ABS engineering plastic and consists of many component parts that are drilled with small drainage holes and covered by pre-formed stainless steel screens.

The forming die, mounted on the molding drum is rotated at a uniform speed, immersing it in a taper flow vat containing the pulp slurry of about 1% consistency of fibres in recycled water. A vacuum system attracts the fibres to deposit on the forming die screens as the suspending recycle water is drawn through the screen and drainage holes.

3. Egg Tray Drying & Conveying System

The egg tray conveyor carries those wet products through a drying oven where most of the balance of water content of the products is evaporated off by means of re-circulating hot air until the products have only 8% moisture left.

The egg tray drying section consists of a direct-fired natural gas (or oil) re-circulating air dryer with a pass conveyor carrying the wet products through the heated dryer tunnel. An endless chain conveyor system conveys them through in the dryer tunnel while re-circulated hot air is blown from the top through the layers. The dried egg tray are then discharged to an unloading conveyor where they are automatically stacked, counted.

Environmental Effects of Paper Waste

1. Deforestation is the primary effect of our mindless use of paper. Conservation groups have made an admirable headway in protecting ecologically rich forests and limiting commercial access. This is great progress for mankind! Just imagine how long a tree will grow to its full size…. We are only just realizing the wasted use of our trees – trees that give off oxygen and protect the planet from further Global Warming.

2. Paper pollution is another effect of paper waste and it’s a serious problem. It is estimated that by 2020, paper mills will be producing 500,000,000 tons of paper and paperboard each year! We obviously need this product and a reduction of use is not in the horizon. Pulp and paper is the 3rd largest industrial polluter of air, water and soil. Chlorine-based bleaches are used during production which results in toxic materials being released into our water, air and soil. When paper rots, it emits methane gas which is 25 times more toxic than CO2.

Advantage Of Paper Egg Tray Making Machine

1. It has a low cost and high reliability.

2. It has high efficiency and long service life.
