In the modern egg processing industry, food safety and production efficiency are the two core concerns of customers. Compared to traditional manual washing and sorting, automated egg washing processing lines can significantly enhance processing efficiency, ensure consistent egg cleanliness and quality, thereby helping enterprises meet market demand for high-quality egg products.
It is not a single device, but a complete solution comprising multiple core systems working in precise coordination. Below, I will reveal its four core processes.
Core process 1: water tank egg loading
This marks the first step toward efficient, low-waste production. Unlike the traditional manual method of placing eggs one by one onto the conveyor belt, our production line employs a smarter, gentler approach.
How it works:
Workers simply pour entire crates of eggs into a water-filled loading tank. Utilizing water’s buoyancy, the eggs naturally float to the surface and are gently guided onto the conveyor belt, where they automatically align themselves before proceeding to the next stage.
Benefits for You:
- Source damage reduction: water’s cushioning effect minimizes collisions during loading, significantly lowering breakage rates.
- Labor savings: egg loading requires only one operator, featuring simple operation and high efficiency.
Core process 2: fully automatic washing and air drying
This is the core process ensuring egg cleanliness and safety, directly determining your product’s hygiene standards.
How it works:
- First, warm water sprays moisten and soften contaminants on the eggshell surface.
- Next, durable soft-bristle brushes perform a 360° rolling scrub to thoroughly remove stubborn stains like feces and soil.
- Finally, powerful fans rapidly dry the eggshell surface to prevent secondary contamination.
Benefits for You:
- Exceptional cleaning performance: ensures every egg leaving your facility is pristine and meets the highest food safety requirements.
- Durable construction: entire unit crafted from food-grade stainless steel, corrosion-resistant, and easy to clean, guaranteeing long-term equipment longevity.
Core process 3: electronic weight grading
This is the core step to maximize product value and the key factor that sets you apart from ordinary producers.
How it works:
Each egg that passes through the optical inspection system is individually weighed by a high-precision electronic scale sensor. The system instantly captures its weight in grams and, based on your preset weight grades, uses robotic arms to accurately sort it into different collection channels.
Benefits for You:
- Precise pricing, doubled profits: sell eggs at different prices based on weight, precisely matching market demand to significantly boost overall sales profits.
- Product standardization: establish clear grading standards for your products, facilitating brand management and market promotion.
Core process 4: candling inspection
This is a critical quality control step that ensures product integrity and eliminates substandard items.
How it works:
After washing and grading, eggs are placed on a conveyor belt equipped with high-intensity LED lighting at the base. Light penetrates the eggshell, making the internal condition clearly visible. Workers can easily identify non-compliant products—such as cracked eggs, eggs with scattered yolks, or eggs with blood spots—and manually remove them.
Benefits for you:
- Enhanced product consistency: ensures every batch of eggs delivered to your customers is a rigorously quality-screened, premium product.
- Brand reputation protection: effectively prevents customer complaints and brand image damage caused by substandard eggs entering the market.
Optional modules: printing and automatic tray loading
To achieve greater automation, our egg washing production line can be flexibly configured with the following equipment based on your requirements:
Egg packer: automatically loads graded eggs into cartons, further reducing manual labor and achieving fully automated “one-stop” processing from egg feeding to packaging.
Egg printer: sprays production dates, brand logos, or traceability codes onto eggshells to enhance product value and traceability.
Conclusion
Our fully automated egg washing line, through the coordinated operation of these four core processes, delivers more than just enhanced efficiency. It also reduces breakage rates, ensures food safety, achieves uniform product quality, and maximizes market value.
