Equipment of the package of 1000pcs/h egg tray production machine
Pulping machine
Pulping is the first step of the egg tray production line, using ZDS1 pulping machine with a capacity of 1m³. This equipment can beat waste paper raw materials such as waste book paper, waste newspaper, waste carton into pulp, providing suitable pulp for subsequent molding.
Preparation of pulp in the production process of egg tray machine
The raw material for the production of egg tray products is waste paper pulp or commercial paperboard. The requirements for the pulp in the production process of egg tray production machine are fast, even and unobstructed deposition on the mesh molds, low overall shrinkage of the egg tray products during drying, and the egg tray products do not produce any obvious warping in all directions. Functional agents need to be added in order to achieve functionality.
The pulp process of egg tray production machine is crucial to the performance of the product, the pulp process originated from the pulp process of paper mills, but different from the change process, pulp molding products on the fiber requirements, the addition of additives and paper is not exactly the same. If the fiber products can not meet the requirements of pulp molding products, will affect the strength and cushioning properties of pulp molding products. Hydraulic pulper on the waste newspaper, corrugated cardboard packaging edge waste such as crushed, the material bundled with long stripes of impurities such as winding in the winch machine lead to unloading, removal. The bottom of the hydraulic pulper is equipped with a heavy trap that discharges heavy dirt at regular intervals. The coarse pulp after pulping is stored in the pulp tank and sent to the slag remover through the pulp pump, and the good pulp is sent to the compound fiber separator for further screening, separation, and disintegration.
Molding machine
The molding process uses DTF3×1 small egg tray machine, which is a single-sided three-mold molding machine with flip-type molds, compact structure, small footprint, and integrates the pulping system and molding machine. The molding machine consists of molding template, transfer template, reducer, motor, cylinder, solenoid valve and other components, through reverse adsorption molding, the pulp will be converted into egg tray.
The working principle of the egg tray production machine is to mix the pulp and filler material into a uniform pulp material, and then compress it into the required shape by the pressure cover of the mold, and finally after heat shrinkage, the molding can be completed. First of all, the pulp preliminary mixer mixes the pulp and filler into a fine pulp material, then it is laminated into the required shape through the pressure cover of the mold, and finally it is heat-shrinkable to get the molded product. The whole molding process generally requires a certain pressure, and requires a uniform mix of pulp materials to ensure the quality of pulp molding.
Drying machine
The 1000pcs egg tray production machine usually uses natural drying method, i.e. drying the egg tray by sunlight, which is economical and environmentally friendly. To facilitate drying, drying racks and carts can be used. If the natural drying is limited by weather, civilized or metal drying lines, such as single-layer or multi-layer metal drying lines, can be chosen to accelerate the drying process.
Egg tray machine in the production process, egg tray molding after the wet paper mold blanks contain about 75 percent moisture, through the wet paper mold blanks contain a large amount of water needs to be in the special drying equipment (pulp molding drying line) on the evaporation to remove. This is the third process of the egg tray production line production process – the drying system
Currently, pulp molded products can also be used for hot air drying method, in the specific drying equipment within the hot air drying medium for drying pulp molded products. Hot air is mainly obtained by two ways, one is the use of hot air furnace combustion directly produce hot air; the other is the use of steam through the heat exchanger and air heat exchange to produce hot air. Pulp molding products drying process uses high equipment mainly box-type dryer, civil engineering drying line and metal dryer, etc., no matter which kind of drying equipment, the drying principle is basically the same.
Production line type and energy consumption
small egg tray machine has a variety of drying options, including natural drying, civil drying, single layer, or multi-layer metal drying. The table of consumables and energy consumption of each model shows that, for example, with a production capacity of 1000pcs/h, the paper consumption of natural drying method is 85kg/h, water consumption is 255kg/h, and electricity consumption is 23kw/h. The civil and metal drying methods are relatively paper-saving but with increased fuel requirements.
Profit analysis
Take the natural drying mode as an example, under the Chinese market environment, the hourly raw material cost includes waste paper at $21.25, water at $0.10, electricity at $2.76, labor at $5.72, the total income is $50 per hour, the net profit is $20, and the yearly profit is about $100,679. If the production line is increased to 1,500pcs/h, the yearly profit can be up to $170,359. This kind of This kind of small egg tray making machine has high return on investment and stable operation, which is the best choice for many customers.
