Technical Parameters
Working Process of Automatic Rotary Fruit Tray Machine
Pulping making system: The paper fruit tray production line uses various types of waste paper, newspapers, magazines, corrugated cartons, etc., as raw materials. It is broken into fibrous slurry by injecting water into the hydraulic pulper. The broken slurry is vibrated to remove impurities and the sand is loosened and decomposed. The pulp, after impurity removal, enters the refiner for beating and refining. At this stage, additives and color pigments, etc., are added according to the customer’s needs, stirred evenly, and a slurry of appropriate concentration is prepared. This slurry is then transported to the slurry supply tank and awaits use by the molding machine in the next step. This step of the pulp molding pulping system is crucial to the formation and quality of fruit tray.
Forming system: The forming system is a key process in the production of pulp molded egg trays. It plays a decisive role in the quality, breakage rate, production energy consumption, and production efficiency of paper-plastic fruit tray. Below, we will use the HGHY Rotary Fruit Tray Making Machine, which is extremely popular in the industry, as an example to explain:
The forming machine has various specifications such as 4 faces, 6 faces, 8 faces, and 12 faces, and is equipped with customized fruit tray molds (egg cartons, fruit trays, cup holders, etc. molds can be replaced). It mainly operates using vacuum suction filtration technology. The prepared slurry in the slurry supply tank is transported to the molding machine. At this point, the molding machine starts to work. Through vacuum suction, the fibers in the pulp are evenly deposited on the surface of the forming die, and then extruded through the forming die and the transfer die to form a wet embryo of an egg tray. A large amount of moisture will be removed during vacuum suction, and the forming cycle generally ranges from 3 to 7 seconds. At this stage, the wet embryo has no hardness, but the basic prototype of the egg tray has been formed.
Drying system: After the fruit tray forming is completed, the extruded egg tray wet embryo is transferred to the conveyor belt through the transfer mold. Then, the busy conveyor belt continuously carries the egg tray wet embryo into the drying system without stopping. The drying system can be heated by burning coal, wood, natural gas, or electricity. The dryer continuously emits heat and evaporates and dehydrates at high temperatures, reducing the moisture content of the paper mold fruit tray to 10%~12% to achieve drying.
