| Feed | Rim geometry | No jams |
FAQ
Q1: Can molded-pulp trays be denested automatically?
A: Yes. Separation lugs and draft angles let denesters pick one tray at a time without sticking.
Q2: Do molded-pulp trays jam in lines?
A: No. Engineered rim and lip geometry prevents vacuum-stick and jams.
Q3: Do nested trays save space?
A: Yes. Tight nesting cuts storage and shipping volume on the empty trip.
