What is the egg tray dryer?
The egg tray drying machine is also the egg tray drying system in the egg tray manufacturing process. Its function is to dry the wet paper trays. In the production line of Shuliy Machinery, the drying method is also different and will be selected according to the scale of production. If you want to know more, welcome to read the content.
Type 1: the natural drying
Natural drying, as the name implies, is to dry the wet trays by putting them under the sun and drying them with the power of nature. It’s totally manual type. This is cost-effective but only suitable for small-scale production. Such as the egg tray machine for 1000pcs per hour or 1500pcs per hour.
Besides, this kind of egg tray dryer can also be used to prop up the egg tray with a stand, which can be put under the sun or put in a closed space to dry it.
Features of natural drying
- Economical and cost-effective, save money by drying with the power of sunlight.
- Suitable for small-scale production. Because it is dried naturally, it needs manual help. If the scale of production is too large, the labor is a bit overwhelming.
- Affected by the weather. Because it is natural sun-drying, the weather is crucial.
- Large space. There should be enough space for natural drying.
- Long time. In comparison, natural drying takes a longer time.
Recommended egg tray machine for the natural drying
| Model | Capacity | Paper consumption | Water consumption | Energy used | Worker |
| SL-3*1 | 1000-1500pcs/h | 120kg/h | 300kg/h | 32kW/h | 3-4 |
| SL-4*1 | 1500-2000PCS/h | 160kg/h | 380kg/h | 45kwW/h | 3-4 |
| SL-3*4 | 2000-2500pcs/h | 200kg/h | 450kg/h | 58kW/h | 4-5 |
Type 2: brick kiln drying line
This kind of egg tray dryer is much quicker and utilizes the temperature to dry when heating in the brink kiln. It is a semi-automatic type. It is suitable for medium to large size machine production. This drying method is more efficient than the first one and cheaper than the third one. It takes only a few minutes to dry the trays.
Characteristics of brick kiln drying
- Save time and effort and dry paper trays in minutes.
- Semi-automatic degree. The conveyor belt can transfer trays, but manual collecting is required.
- Inexpensive. Compared with metal drying, the price is cheap.
- Easy to maintain and long service life. The brick kiln lasts longer.
- Occupying the large space. Users need to build a brick kiln with a single-layer design and an area of at least 30 square meters.

| SL-6*12 | 8000pcs/h | 640kg/h | 1040kg/h | 100kW/h | 3-4 |
Type 3: Metal egg tray dryer
The metal dryer is a fully automated egg tray drying system with multiple layers, depending on the scale of production. Based on cost-effectiveness, this type of drying is recommended to be used together with mass production to maximize your benefits. Looking forward to your inquiry!
Highlights of the egg tray dryer
- A high degree of automation. This type of drying is the most automated of the three, saving labor.
- Natural gas, electricity, steam, and fuel oil can be used as the fuel for heating the machine.
- Large area. Because the machine is multi-layer, it covers a wide area.
- A high degree of applicability. Regardless of the size of the production scale, it is possible to use metal multi-layer drying.
- Expensive. High machine cost and large investment in the initial investment.
