Natural Drying

Natural drying means drying the trays under the sun. This process is slow and weather-dependent. In general, it takes 4-6 hours to dry the trays on sunny and windy days. But it can greatly reduce the initial cost. Due to the limits, it is only suitable for small-scale egg tray machines, such as 1-side and 4-side gg tray machines. Beston has drying racks and carts for the natural drying system. You can choose according to your needs. Below are more parameters for your reference.

Fuel Consumption (Multi-layer Metal Drying)	Natural Gas	20-30m³/h	20-30m³/h
	Diesel	17-27kg/h	17-27kg/h

Brick Drying Line

In order to improve the drying speed, you can choose a brick or metal drying line. Both of them use fuels to make the temperature inside up to 180-200 degrees so that the trays can be dried in a few minutes. By comparison, the brick dryer is cheaper than the metal one. Moreover, you can choose the cheapest one from coal, wood, fuel oil, LPG, etc. as heating fuel. But it is of a single-layer design, which means it needs at least 40 meters for drying room. It means you can get the trays at the end of the drying room. Besides, there will be more construction works if choosing to build a brick drying line. So the recommended model is BTF1, BTF4, and BTF8 series pulp molding machines.

Metal Egg Tray Dryer Machine

Metal egg tray dryer is the main difference between manual and automatic egg tray machines. It is suitable for all models, especially for large-scale egg tray plant, like 8-side egg tray machine. It is easy to operate, transport, and install. Also, it can be muti-layer to save your space. But it is expensive. And if you use coal as fuel, it is suggested to have a hot air stove to purify the smoke and extend the service life of the dryer. If you have enough budget, it is a great choice for you.

Beston Tips

Considering their features, below are some tips for you to choose the most cost-effective solutions. If you want a detailed egg tray manufacturing business plan, please contact Beston for details.

1. Depends on how many trays you will make per hour. If the production capacity is less than 2,000 pieces, you can choose natural drying. Instead, you have to buy a dryer machine.
2. Floor space. In general, BTF1-3 (1,000 pieces/h) requires about 500 square meters for natural drying. While if you build a brick drying room, it should be 45+ meters in the length.
3. Your budget. If you have enough money, metal egg tray dryer will be your best choice, which is clean, safe, and easy to operate.
4. Available fuel. As mentioned, wood and coal cannot be used directly for metal dryer because the metal dryer can not absorb the soot produced during heating.
5. Weather and drying efficiency. Natural drying is weather-dependent, and it needs 2-3 hours. While it needs only several minutes if using a metal or brick egg tray dryer.
