Background of the Egg Tray Mold Market

Among many daily plastic molds, egg tray molds are a common and widely needed type of mold.In daily life, eggs are a very important food and a vital source of protein for our body's nutritional needs. Basically, every household will eat eggs regularly and in moderation, except for those who are allergic to eggs.From the perspective of global egg market sales, the annual egg sales of over 170 billion US dollars is quite astonishing.Therefore, it can be imagined that the quantity of egg storage and transportation is astonishingly large, which requires a large number of plastic egg trays.

The First Step in Booking an Egg Tray Mold

Let's take a look, what should we do if we want to open up the plastic egg tray market? This is the topic I want to share today: Plastic Egg Tray Mold.Firstly, let me explain that plastic egg trays are produced by combining injection molding machines with plastic egg tray molds/egg holder mould.At the situation of the injection molding machine is available, you need to customize a set of plastic egg tray molds,or called plastic egg holder mold.

To customize an plastic injection mold for a product, the first step is to determine the size and weight of the product.According to our understanding of the egg tray market, the typical size of egg trays on the market is 290x290x58mm, and one egg tray can hold 30 eggs. The weight of the egg trays we have produced the moulds are 120g, 105g, and 95g, respectively. Customers can determine the weight of the egg tray based on the characteristics of their own market.

Key Points of Egg Tray Mold Technology

After determining the weight and dimension of the egg tray, let's take a look at the structure of the egg tray together with Velar (as shown in the figure below). Due to the varying heights and differences in the surface of egg trays, there is a certain degree of fluctuation, resembling waves. Therefore, this product requires more feeding gates to shorten the time for materials to fill inside the mold.The best method is to use a hot runner mould for injection molding, with at least 4 feeling gates, so that the plastic can quickly and evenly fill the egg tray mold cavity and ensure the good product's appearance.Of course, it must also be fully automatic demolding.

For customers with limited budgets or those who are just preparing to enter the egg tray market and do not want to invest too much in mold costs and want to control costs, they can choose cold runner molds.At this point, you may ask if the cold runner mold can have multiple injection points? The answer is yes, we can use the method of partition feeding to achieve multi-point gluing of the product.It can also achieve fully automatic production of plastic egg trays.Please watch the following video.
