A shareholder and general manager of a poultry farm in Afghanistan is turning a long-standing idea into a real project: his own egg tray factory, built alongside the farm he already runs.

His first order with Shuliy Machinery is a complete egg tray production line built with the following equipment chosen for steady output and low drying cost.

Customer background: a new business, not an expansion

The client is not a newcomer to poultry — he is a shareholder and general manager of an egg farm. But egg tray production is a new business for him: instead of buying trays from the local market, he plans to run his own plant, supply his own farm first and then nearby farmers.

His written inquiry already specified a 4-side rotating tray machine with brick kiln drying, so we could quote right away — but first we checked his background and plans to confirm he was a serious buyer.

SL-4×4 Egg Tray Machine with Brick Kiln Dryer Configuration

Brick Kiln Dryer Main Components

Den produktionslinje för äggkartonger takes raw waste paper through to baled, ready-to-ship egg trays. This 4×4 configuration with 10–15 cycles per minute fits a farm-owner starting, with headroom for other paper tray moulds later.

From inquiry to order: Process of working with Afghanistan client

The follow-up moved in clear stages:

  • Quotation first, qualification at the same time — his inquiry was detailed, so the quotation went out immediately while we checked his background.
  • Site already prepared — the workshop was ready and he wanted the machine first, so we followed up closely, sharing customer feedback, installation records and factory-visit materials so he could judge our strength.
  • Video factory tour — we walked him through the workshop live on video. He saw real people and real machines running, and the communication was smooth and direct.
  • Government license first — he still needed a new-business permit from the local government, so we kept the relationship warm as a long-term opportunity rather than pushing for a quick close.
  • Solving the payment — payment was the last real obstacle. He actively searched for a solution and finally arranged for a friend in China to pay us in RMB, which unblocked the order.
  • On-site inspection — before shipment, the customer arranged an on-site inspection of the goods to confirm the equipment matched the contract.

Why he chose Shuliy SL-4×4 egg tray machine with brick kiln dryer

  • Evidence, not promises — the volume of feedback, installation records and visit materials let him verify our strength himself.
  • Real factory, real people — the live video tour showed genuine machines and staff, with questions answered on the spot.
  • Persistent, human follow-up — messages, calls and voice notes kept coming even while he waited for his license, so he could feel we were serious.

What made the difference?

We never relied on text chat alone. For a buyer who could not visit the factory early on, a voice and a face did more than a hundred written messages — and turned a cross-border inquiry into a deal built on trust.

Packing and shipment of egg tray machine

Before shipment, the equipment went through our standard export process:

  • Factory trial run — the complete line was assembled and tested before delivery, with the results confirmed by the customer.
  • Protective packing — the machine body was film-wrapped and fixed in a wooden crate to survive sea and land transit.
  • Container loading — the pulper, molding machine, collector and baler with moulds and accessories, were loaded and secured in the container.
  • Brick kiln on site — the brick kiln tunnel (circulating air system + dryer part system) is built locally at the customer’s workshop from our drawings and never needed shipping.

Start your own egg tray factory

This Afghan client already had the farm, the site and the market — what he needed was the right machine and a supplier who would stay with him through licensing and payment hurdles.
