A pulp molding production line is a complete automated system that turns recycled paper and plant fiber into finished molded products — egg trays, egg cartons, tableware, cup lids, and industrial packaging. A full line covers every stage: pulping, vacuum forming, transfer, drying, and stacking.
For nearly 30 years, Besure has built pulp molding production lines for manufacturers and exporters worldwide. As a China-Europe joint venture integrating European technology since 1997, we deliver lines engineered for stable high-volume output, low energy consumption, and long service life.
Below are the complete production lines we manufacture. Each is configured to your target product, capacity, and budget.
What a complete pulp molding production line includes
A complete Besure pulp molding production line is built from five core systems working together — the forming machine is the heart of the line, but it is only one part of the full setup:
- Pulping system — hydrapulper, pulp tank, water tank, pulp pump, water pump, agitator, consistency controller, and control cabinet. The choice of raw material affects final quality; see our guide to pulp molding raw materials.
- Forming system (main machine) — where the product is shaped. The internal process depends on the product and molding type: wet-press lines (tableware, cups & cup lids, fine-art packaging) run forming → hot pressing → trimming → stacking; dry-press lines (egg cartons, egg trays, industrial packaging, medical containers) run forming → drying, with hot pressing added only when a smoother finish is needed.
- Vacuum system — provides the vacuum the main machine needs when forming and transferring the product.
- Air compressor system — supplies compressed air for transferring the product during production.
- High-pressure water system — delivers high-pressure water to clean the main machine’s molds.
Drying and pressing design is one of the biggest factors in energy cost and product consistency; learn more in our guide to drying of pulp molding. Every line is delivered with factory layout design and on-site support.
Choosing the right production line
The best configuration depends on three things:
- Product type — egg cartons, egg trays, tableware, and industrial packaging each use different molds and forming setups.
- Target capacity — our lines range from entry-level to high-output configurations.
- Drying energy — natural gas, LPG, or diesel, chosen to match local energy costs.
