EGG TRAYS

The project involves converting waste paper into useful products like egg trays that are
salable and is in demand. A sophisticated machine, Paper Pulp Moulding System for Egg
Trays (Egg Filler Flats) has been suitably designed and fabricated with modern
equipments and sold to several manufacturing units.

PROCESS

Waste Paper, even the lower grades is converted into pulp of 4 % consistency in a
critically designed Hydrapulper. The pulp so formed in the Hydrapulper flow through a
pulp screen and a vibrator before being discharged to a pulp hold. Here wax, alum etc.
are added and diluted to about 1% consistency under constant agitation. The same is then
pumped into an overhead pulp tank with special agitator and discharge section. The pulp
by gravity flow enters the Moulding unit and overflows. The forming mould gets filled
with the pulp which is sucked through the surface of the mould by vacuum pull which
leaves a fill of solid paper fibre in the shape of the mould. The transfer mould gives a
puff of controlled compressed air uniformly, to discharge the wet tray and drop it to the
prepositioned pallet. The wet transferred tray in the pallet is loaded on to a specially
designed trolley. The trolley carrying the wet trays are loaded (upto 200 trays) into the
drier or sent to sun drying. After the predetermined time, the product is dried and
removed.
