The Egg Tray Molding System consists of various equipments and dies.
The wet forming section consists of a series of wire screen covered wet forming dies mounted on a molding drum, and a matching set of transfer dies mounted on a transfer mechanism.
The egg tray forming die is made up of rigid corrosive resistant metal or ABS engineering plastic and consists of many component parts that are drilled with small drainage holes and covered by pre-formed stainless steel screens.
The forming die, mounted on the molding drum is rotated at a uniform speed, immersing it in a taper flow vat containing the pulp slurry of about 1% consistency of fibres in recycled water. A vacuum system attracts the fibres to deposit on the forming die screens as the suspending recycle water is drawn through the screen and drainage holes.
