Customers in Mexico and Nigeria Purchase YG Egg Tray Machines
Case Study 1: Environmental Upgrade Project for a Large Mexican Fruit Exporter
- Client Background: A large Mexican avocado and apple exporter with operations throughout North America. In response to the North American market’s demand for environmentally friendly packaging, they decided to phase out plastic pallets and build their own pulp molding production line.
- Problem Solved: The client needed a continuously and efficiently operating apple tray-making machine that could flexibly switch between different sizes of fruit tray molds.
- Product Used: YG 5000 pieces/hour, highly automated apple tray-making machine (multi-layer drying system).
- Results: After the production line was successfully put into operation, the client utilized abundant local waste paper resources to achieve 100% self-sufficiency in environmentally friendly pallets. The equipment’s mold-changing system is simple and quick, allowing it to flexibly adapt to the packaging needs of various fruits such as avocados and apples. This not only reduced packaging costs by $20% but also gave their products the advantage of “green packaging” certification in the international market.
- Customer Testimonial: “YG’s apple tray-making machine has a very short return on investment cycle. Now we not only solve our packaging problems, but we can also use excess capacity to produce egg tray-making machines, broadening our revenue streams. Its environmental performance is our biggest advantage in the export market.”
Case Study 2: Packaging Automation Project at a Poultry Egg Processing Plant in Nigeria
- Client Background: A large poultry egg processing and distribution center in Nigeria sought to replace its expensive imported egg packaging machine and automate the local production of pulp packaging.
- Problem Solved: Unstable local power supply required an energy-efficient, durable equipment design capable of quickly and stably producing 30 pulp egg trays.
- Product Used: YG 3500 pieces/hour pulp molding production line (gas-fired thermal drying system).
- Results: The client uses this equipment primarily to produce pulp egg tray-making machines. YG engineers optimized the thermal efficiency of the drying system, ensuring stable operation of the gas system even during power fluctuations. The produced pulp trays are of high strength, effectively reducing egg breakage during transportation.
- Customer Testimonial: “We are delighted to have broken free from our reliance on expensive imported plastic egg tray-making machines. YG’s equipment is reliable and stable, and we’ve reduced our costs by 35% by producing our own packaging from local waste paper. Now we can even sell our surplus egg trays to other farms.”
Comprehensive Comparative Analysis of Pulp Egg Tray Making Machine VS Plastic Egg Tray Making Machine
Cost Comparison Analysis of Pulp Egg Tray Making Machine vs. Plastic Egg Tray Making Machine
| Cost Dimensions | Pulp Egg Tray Making Machine | Plastic Egg Tray Making Machine (Plastic Molding) | Cost Advantage Analysis |
| Raw Material Costs | Very Low. The main raw materials are recycled fibers such as waste paper, old newspapers, and waste cardboard boxes. These are widely available, and their prices fluctuate little and are generally lower than those of plastic raw materials. | High cost and highly volatile. Main raw materials are plastic pellets (such as PVC, PET, PS), and prices are greatly affected by fluctuations in the international oil market. | Pulp molding offers a significant cost advantage in raw materials. |
| Equipment Investment Costs | High. Requires a pulping system, molding system, large-scale drying system (a major energy consumer), and molds. High initial investment. | Medium to high cost. Main equipment includes injection molding machines or thermoforming machines, and molds. The equipment is small in size and does not have large drying ovens. | Plastic equipment requires less floor space and lower energy system investment. |
| Operating and Maintenance Costs | Medium-High. The main consumption factors are:
1. Heat energy (drying oven), which is the main energy consumption. 2. Water (requires recycling); 3. Mold wear. |
Low to medium cost. Main consumption includes:
1. Electricity(injection/heating); 2. Cooling water; 3. Mold maintenance is simple and easy to clean. |
While energy consumption in plastic machinery is primarily concentrated in electricity, the heat energy consumption of pulp machines is the core issue. |
Environmental Comparison Analysis of Pulp Egg Tray Making Machine vs. Plastic Egg Tray Making Machine
| Environmental Dimensions | Pulp Egg Tray Making Machine | Plastic Egg Tray Making Machine (Plastic Molding) | Environmental Advantages Analysis |
| Raw Material Sources | Excellent. 100% uses renewable and recyclable waste. A form of waste recycling. | Poor: Relies on petroleum-based raw materials, which are non-renewable, and involves chemical polymerization in the production process. | The raw material sourcing of pulp molding offers significant environmental advantages. |
| Degradability | Excellent. 100% biodegradable, typically decomposing completely in the natural environment within weeks to months. | Very Poor: Difficult to degrade, becoming “white pollution,” requiring hundreds of years to form. | Pulp pallets fully align with sustainable packaging trends. |
| Production Pollution | Low to Medium. The main pollution is production wastewater, but modern pulp egg tray making machines use a water recycling system of over 95%, resulting in minimal pollution. | Medium-High: Involves heating, melting, injection molding, or thermoforming of plastics, producing air pollutants such as VOCs (volatile organic compounds). | The environmental impact of pulp molding during the production process is more controllable. |
| Recycling | Excellent. It can be returned to the pulp egg tray making machine production line as raw material, achieving a closed loop. | Poor: Plastic trays are typically only recycled for types such as PET/HDPE; recycling PVC/PS is costly and difficult. | Pulp recycling systems are more mature and economical. |
Durability Comparison Analysis of Pulp Egg Tray Making Machine vs. Plastic Egg Tray Making Machine
| Durability Dimensions | Pulp Egg Tray Making Machine | Plastic Egg Tray Making Machine | Durability/Functionality Analysis |
| Protective Performance | Excellent. Pulp molding offers excellent shock absorption and cushioning elasticity, providing superb protection for eggs. | Good. The structure is reasonably designed, but it may fracture under extreme impact. | The fibrous structure of pulp provides natural shock absorption. |
| Moisture Resistance | Poor. Easily absorbs moisture and softens in wet or high-humidity environments, affecting strength and shape. Requires an additional waterproof coating or a pulp waterproofing agent. | Excellent. Completely waterproof and moisture-proof, suitable for refrigeration or high-humidity environments. | Plastic pallets perform more stably in cold chain and high-humidity environments. |
| Reusability | Average. Suitable for single-use or limited reuse, as strength decreases with humidity and time. | Good. Typically designed to be washable and reusable, but cleaning and sterilization costs apply. | Pallets produced by Plastic Egg Tray Making Machines are better suited for scenarios requiring multiple turnovers. |
| Transparency | None. The pulp material is opaque, making it impossible to observe the condition of the egg inside directly. | Excellent. The PET/PVC material has high transparency, making it easy for consumers to inspect eggs. | The visual inspection advantages of plastics are more favored by the retail market. |
Which Is the Best Investment Choice: A Pulp Egg Tray Making Machine or a Plastic Egg Tray Making Machine?
| Conclusion: Which is the best choice? | Pulp Egg Tray Making Machine | Plastic Egg Tray Making Machine |
| Key Advantages | It boasts overwhelming advantages in environmental friendliness and raw material costs, making it particularly suitable for markets with high environmental requirements and readily available raw materials (waste paper). | More durable and moisture-resistant, suitable for cold chain environments or scenarios requiring high-frequency reusability. |
| Investment Recommendations | It is ideal for companies seeking large-scale, centralized production, low operating costs, and an environmentally friendly brand value. While initial investment costs are high, long-term raw material costs are extremely low, resulting in a stable return on investment. | Suitable for small-scale production or focusing on niche markets requiring durable, transparent, and waterproof packaging (such as high-end supermarkets or export cold chain). |
