In an egg tray production line, the paper pulping machine is an essential core piece of equipment. Its main function is to mix and stir waste paper with water to produce a uniform and fine pulp, providing a solid foundation for the subsequent forming process. An efficient and stable pulping process plays a key role in the quality and production efficiency of egg trays.
Shuliy offers a user-friendly and complete pulping system designed to improve pulp quality and simplify operation. We can also provide layout drawings tailored to your plant size for optimal space utilization.
What Is a Paper Pulping Machine?
A pulping machine, also called a pulper, is a device used for recycling paper. It uses a high-speed stirring mechanism to mix waste paper with water, separating and evenly dispersing the paper fibers to form pulp suitable for molding. Pulping machines are widely used in egg tray machines, paper tray packaging, pulp molding, and other related fields.
Functions of the Hydrapulper
- Shredding and breaking down waste paper: Turning old newspapers, cartons, and other waste paper into fibrous pulp.
- Uniform pulp mixing: Fully stirring paper and water to create pulp with the appropriate concentration.
- Ensuring molding quality: The uniformity of the pulp affects the thickness, strength, and appearance consistency of finished egg trays.
- Saving labor and time: Automated operation reduces manual labor and improves pulping efficiency.
Pulping Process Workflow
- Feeding and adding water: Waste paper and a certain ratio of water are added into the paper pulping machine.
- Stirring and shredding: The machine starts, and the stirring system operates at high speed to shred the paper into fibrous pulp.
- Pulp consistency adjustment: The pulp flows into a mixing tank where water is added or removed to adjust the concentration suitable for molding.
- Pulp delivery: The prepared pulp is pumped by the supply pump to the egg tray forming machine for the next production step.
How to Improve Egg Tray Quality During the Pulping Process
In egg tray production, the quality of the pulp directly affects the strength, appearance, and smoothness of the final product. By optimizing the pulping process, the overall quality of egg trays can be significantly improved. Here are some key recommendations:
1, Select Appropriate Waste Paper Materials
High-quality, clean, oil- and plastic-free waste paper is easier to process evenly, helping to improve the density and toughness of egg trays.
2, Control Pulp Concentration
Maintaining an appropriate pulp concentration (typically 3%–5%) helps ensure even adsorption by the mold, reducing issues such as uneven thickness or incomplete tray formation.
3, Ensure Even Mixing of Pulp
The paper pulping machine should operate with continuous, high-speed agitation to fully disperse the paper fibers. This creates a fine and uniform pulp that improves forming precision.
4, Add Necessary Additives
As needed, additives such as waterproofing agents, colorants, or strength enhancers can be introduced to improve water resistance, appearance, or structural strength of the trays.
