How the Tray Making Machine Operates
The production line follows a straightforward yet sophisticated four-stage process:
Pulping System
Waste paper mixes with water to create a uniform pulp slurry. The machine can process various raw materials including newspaper, cardboard, and office paper.
Molding System
The pulp attaches to metal molds through vacuum adsorption, forming the shape of the egg tray. YG Machinery offers customizable mold options for different tray specifications.
Drying System
Fresh trays move through a drying phase. For smaller operations, the YG-1000 and YG-1500 models use natural drying to reduce energy costs significantly. Larger models feature multi-layer drying systems that accelerate throughput without compromising quality.
Packing System
Dried trays are stacked, counted, and prepared for storage or delivery.

Features That Drive Performance
The equipment delivers exceptional performance through several engineering innovations:
- Energy efficiency stands as a primary advantage. Power consumption ranges from 38kw/hour on entry models to 120kw/hour on the largest unit, translating directly to lower operating costs.
- Versatile paper handling accommodates various waste paper types, helping operators source materials locally and cost-effectively. This flexibility reduces raw material costs and supply chain dependencies.
- Precision forming technology ensures consistent tray quality across all production runs. The molds create uniform thickness and proper drainage channels that protect eggs during transport.
- Durable construction using high-grade materials extends equipment lifespan. YG Machinery builds these machines for continuous operation in demanding industrial environments, minimizing downtime and maintenance costs.
- Automated operation reduces labor requirements significantly. Depending on the model and configuration, the production line requires only 3 to 8 workers per shift, with higher automation levels requiring fewer operators.


Applications Beyond Egg Trays
While egg trays remain the primary output, these machines can also produce a range of other molded pulp products. Fruit trays, industrial packaging, and horticultural containers are all viable options with simple mold changes. This versatility opens additional revenue streams for operators and maximizes return on investment.

Investment and ROI Considerations
The market for this equipment is experiencing steady growth, driven by increasing demand for sustainable packaging alternatives. The global pulp molding machinery market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 5.10% to 5.50% through 2031.
For buyers, understanding the cost structure helps align investment with operational goals:
- Machine investment: Ranges from entry-level units suitable for small producers to large-scale industrial systems.
- Raw material costs: Waste paper typically costs $50-100 per ton, making it an affordable input.
- Electricity consumption: Varies by model, with energy-efficient designs reducing ongoing costs.
- Labor requirements: Automated systems need fewer operators, reducing payroll expenses.
Most businesses recover their initial investment within 12-24 months through consistent production and sales. The combination of low raw material costs, growing market demand for sustainable packaging, and reliable performance creates a compelling business case.
