Our client, a Kampala-based poultry and packaging entrepreneur, purchased a 2,500\u20133,000 pcs\/h production line in early 2026, and our engineer traveled to the site for full installation, commissioning, and operator training. <\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Below is the real story: the customer&#8217;s background, the equipment decision, the on-site installation process, and the production results several months after launch.<\/p>    <figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\"> <iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"2500-3000 Pcs\/H Egg Tray Making Machine Installation | Automatic Paper Egg Tray Production Line\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/KmlU_Lpt8vs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe> <\/div><\/figure>    <h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Uganda Customer Background<\/strong><\/h2>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This customer runs a 60,000-layer poultry farm about 25 km outside Kampala. Like most East African egg producers, he had been buying paper trays from local suppliers at $0.025\u2013$0.030 each, and supply was inconsistent during peak season. By mid-2025, he calculated that bringing tray production in-house would cut his packaging cost by 35\u201345% and create a profitable side business selling surplus trays to neighboring farms.<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His three priorities for the new line were clear: <\/p>    <ul class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li><strong>Capacity above 2,500 pcs\/h<\/strong> (to cover his own farm plus 4\u20135 neighboring farms)<\/li>    <li><strong>Climate-independent drying<\/strong> (Uganda has two rainy seasons when sun drying is unreliable)<\/li>    <li><strong>On-site installation support<\/strong> (he did not want to debug a 6-figure machine by video call)<\/li> <\/ul>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That last point is what pushed him toward Shuliy: we agreed to send an installation engineer to his factory, an offer his shortlist of suppliers could not match.<\/p>    <h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why Choose a 4\u00d74 Egg Tray Machine with Metal Dryer for Uganda?<\/strong><\/h2>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our customer considered three options before ordering:<\/p>    <ol class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li>A <strong>3\u00d74 semi-automatic line<\/strong> with brick kiln drying. Lower price, but two-shift capacity capped at 2,000 pcs\/h.<\/li>    <li>A <strong>4\u00d74 rotary machine<\/strong> with brick kiln drying. Mid-priced, but Kampala&#8217;s humidity extends brick kiln drying time and uses more fuel.<\/li>    <li>A <strong>4\u00d74 rotary machine<\/strong> with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eggtray.org\/ar\/product\/egg-tray-dryer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">multi-layer metal dryer<\/a>. Higher upfront cost, but consistent output in any weather and a much smaller factory footprint.<\/li> <\/ol>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He chose option 3. The 4\u00d74 forming machine paired with a 6-layer metal dryer delivers 2,500\u20133,000 pcs\/h reliably, regardless of Kampala&#8217;s rain. The energy cost is higher than brick kiln drying, but the saved floor space (the metal dryer is vertical) let him run the line inside a 400 m\u00b2 shed instead of an 800 m\u00b2 open yard. <\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">Our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eggtray.org\/ar\/product\/3000-3500pcs-h-egg-tray-manufacturing-machine\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">4\u00d74 rotary egg tray machine<\/a> and metal dryer also arrived in a single 40 HQ container, which simplified customs clearance through Mombasa.<\/p>   <div class=\"wp-block-image\"> <figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"540\" src=\"https:\/\/www.eggtray.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/egg-tray-machine-with-multi-layer-metal-dryer.webp\" alt=\"egg tray machine with multi-layer metal dryer\" class=\"wp-image-1491\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.eggtray.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/egg-tray-machine-with-multi-layer-metal-dryer.webp 720w, https:\/\/www.eggtray.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/egg-tray-machine-with-multi-layer-metal-dryer-300x225.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.eggtray.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/egg-tray-machine-with-multi-layer-metal-dryer-16x12.webp 16w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">egg tray machine with multi-layer metal dryer<\/figcaption><\/figure> <\/div>   <figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th><strong>\u063a\u0631\u0636<\/strong><\/th><th><strong>\u062a\u062e\u0635\u064a\u0635<\/strong><\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Forming machine<\/td><td>4\u00d74 rotary, 2,500\u20133,000 pcs\/h<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>\u0642\u0648\u0627\u0644\u0628<\/td><td>30-cavity egg tray + apple tray (interchangeable)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>\u0627\u0644\u0644\u0628<\/td><td>1.5 m\u00b3 hydraulic pulper, 22 kW<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>\u0645\u062c\u0641\u0641<\/td><td>6-layer metal dryer, 18 m \u00d7 2.5 m, gas or electric heating<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Total power<\/td><td>~95 kW (three-phase 380 V, 50 Hz)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Factory footprint<\/td><td>400 m\u00b2 (covered) + 100 m\u00b2 (raw material storage)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Operator team<\/td><td>6\u20138 workers (two shifts)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Indicative line price (FOB)<\/td><td>$75,000\u2013$110,000 USD<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Table 1.

Our senior installation engineer, Mr. Liu, flew in with a 6-day business visa and a 25-page installation manual customized for the Uganda line. Below is the actual on-site timeline.<\/p>    <ol class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li><strong>Day 1\u20132 \u2014 Unpacking and layout<\/strong>. The container was unpacked, components were inventoried against the packing list, and the equipment footprint was marked on the factory floor. Three-phase power, water, and gas lines were checked.<\/li>    <li><strong>Day 3\u20134 \u2014 Mechanical assembly<\/strong>. The pulper, forming machine frame, conveyors, and metal dryer body were assembled and leveled. The dryer&#8217;s 6 layers were stacked and the chain drive tensioned.<\/li>    <li><strong>Day 5\u20136 \u2014 Electrical and plumbing<\/strong>. The control cabinet, motors, and sensors were wired per the diagram. Water supply and drain lines were connected to the pulper and forming section.<\/li>    <li><strong>Day 7 \u2014 Dry run<\/strong>. The line was powered on without slurry. All motors, conveyors, and dryer fans were tested. Mr. Liu tuned the vacuum pump pressure to 0.6 MPa and the dryer temperature set-points to 180\u2013200 \u00b0C.<\/li>    <li><strong>Day 8\u20139 \u2014 Wet trial<\/strong>. The first test batch used 200 kg of waste paper. Operators practiced loading the pulper, monitoring consistency, and removing wet trays from the forming machine. Two minor vacuum leaks were identified and sealed.<\/li>    <li><strong>Day 10\u201312 \u2014 Performance tuning and handover<\/strong>. The line ran continuously for 6 hours, hitting 2,750 pcs\/h on day 11. Final adjustments were made to the dryer belt speed. Operators were trained on routine maintenance, and the handover documents were signed.<\/li> <\/ol>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By the end of week two, the line was running at 2,500\u20132,800 pcs\/h on a single 8-hour shift, comfortably above the contract specification.<\/p>    <figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex

It costs more upfront than a brick kiln, but it runs reliably in rain or humidity, needs less labor, and produces more consistent tray quality. In Uganda, this line ran 2,700 pcs\/h on average versus 2,000 pcs\/h for a similar 4\u00d74 with brick kiln.<\/p>  <\/div> <\/div> <div id=\"faq-004\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\"> <h3 class=\"rank-math-question\"><strong>How many operators does the line need?<\/strong><\/h3> <div class=\"rank-math-answer\">  <p>A single 8-hour shift needs 3\u20134 workers (1 pulper, 1 forming, 1 dryer, 1 packing). Two shifts require 6\u20138 workers in total.
