4×4 Egg Tray Machine Installed in India

Project Overview: 4×4 Egg Tray Making Machine Fully Automatic Installed in India

In July 2024, YourBrand completed the successful installation of a 4×4 egg tray making machine fully automatic for a customer in India. The project demonstrates our commitment to providing turnkey solutions for egg tray production, tailored to the unique needs of each client

Our team handled the entire process—from initial consultation and plant layout design to equipment shipment, on-site installation, and operator training.

Customer Background

The Indian client is a new investor in the egg tray production business, seeking an environmentally friendly and profitable packaging solution. They needed a machine with moderate capacity, easy operation, and reliable performance.

After careful evaluation of their site and production goals, we recommended our 4×4 egg tray production line, which balances efficiency and investment cost, and is ideal for small to medium-scale operations.

Why This Indian Customer Chose Us

Free Layout Design + 3D Drawings

Before production, our engineering team provided customized plant layout and 3D design, considering the customer’s site size, drying line configuration, and workflow. This helped the customer clearly understand how the production line would be installed, saving time and avoiding costly mistakes.

Reliable Machine Performance

The 4×4 egg tray machine is a medium-capacity model, ideal for local demand in India. It features:

• Stainless steel pulp tanks
• Precise forming system
• Low energy consumption
• Strong mold frames (aluminum alloy or plastic optional)
• Easy maintenance

Local Installation Support

Our after-sales service team and remote engineers supported the full process:

• Machine positioning
• Pulp system setup
• Vacuum pump calibration
• Mold installation & testing
• Worker training

The total installation cycle is 15 days (for reference only) of which:
Days 1-3: equipment unloading inspection, foundation positioning and confirmation of installation procedures
Days 4-7: mechanical structure assembly, electrical and piping connections
Days 8-10: equipment power-on test, trial run, mold adjustments
Days 11-13: drying system debugging, production line linkage test
Days 14-15: equipment training, customer trial run, acceptance of shipment

Machine Specifications (4×4 Model)

Optional upgrades include: automatic stacking machine, packing system, customized mold shapes (fruit tray, coffee cup tray, shoe tray, etc.)

Market Demand in India

Paper egg trays made from recycled paper are cost-effective, eco-friendly, and easy to sell locally. Many Indian states offer government subsidies for waste-paper recycling projects, making egg tray production a profitable investment.

The demand for biodegradable packaging is rapidly increasing in India, especially in:

• Poultry farms
• Egg distributors
• Supermarkets
• Agricultural cooperatives
