Abstract in simplified Chinese:一种用于清洗被均匀分布在一运送设备上之m个馈送列上、并于其上采用良好界定位置之蛋品物流的系统,其系包括有:一个馈送区段,其至少在蛋品之清洗位置处之m个馈送列上具有蛋品位于飞铃(diabolo)上,该飞铃系被附接至交叉轴线,而该交叉轴线之端部系被连接至循环链;一个清洗设备,位在诸馈送列上之蛋品系会被通过该清洗设备并被加以清洗;一个脏污侦测设备,其系用于测试已清洗蛋品之脏污残存,借此,根据借由例如是电脑所施行之一良好界定进程,每一个蛋品系被派定一个脏污等级,而在同时已清洗蛋品系于诸馈送列上被通过沿着侦测设备;一个卸载设备,其上系被分配有依据并依循该进程而脏污程度已超过预定限制之该等蛋品,并将该等脏污蛋品从该等馈送列处卸载,而同时其他清洁蛋品系前进于一个由n列所构成之后继(follow-on)输送器上,以及一个放回设备,其系用于将这些已卸载蛋品放回至该馈送区段中,其中,该卸载设备系紧接于该侦测设备之后卸载该等脏污蛋品,并沿着平行于该等馈送列且于一向上游之方向上的至少一个单一返回列而乡将其返回,以及该放回设备系将这些已卸载蛋品紧接在该清洗设备之前实际地放回。此一系统系使得相关清洗进程之广泛最优化成为可能。
Abstract:
A support mechanism for preventing outward deflection of a cracker shaft in an egg breaker assembly, about which are supported in orbiting fashion a plurality of circumferentially spaced rows of egg breakers. A disk shaped portion is mounted in slaved rotatable fashion about an intermediate location of the cracker shaft and exhibits a plurality of exteriorly facing and circumferentially offset inwardly recessed scalloped surfaces. An outer fixed and guiding cam is secured to an aligning intermediate location of the breaker and exhibits an inner arcuate extending and guiding/support surface in outwardly spaced and aligning fashion relative to the scalloped locations of the rotating disk. A perimeter support is disposed upon an aligning location of each cracker shaft and which is captured between selected scalloped locations and the inner guide supporting surface corresponding to at least one of egg receipt, breaking and depositing of yolk and albumen contents to synchronized delivery cups and albumen trays associated with the breakers.
Abstract:
A method of washing eggs in a manner which allows controlling the level of pollutants of the washing fluid. At least two sprayer units are located over a conveyor in which eggs to be washed travel in a conveying direction. The eggs are engaged by a brush at each sprayer station. At least two sprayer units located over the conveyor receive washing fluid, spray the washing fluid over the eggs and collect the washing fluid in a collector. The intake of washing fluid, the spraying of the washing fluid and the collecting of the washing fluid at each of the sprayer units is confined to that sprayer unit. Each sprayer unit except the farthest downstream sprayer unit receives washing fluid from the collector of the next downstream sprayer unit.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for the detection of egg yolk in albumen, for example, but not exclusively, at least one yolk spot, comprising, - breaking an egg, - separating albumen and yolk, - collecting albumen and yolk separately in a yolk cup and in an albumen cup, - imaging of the albumen cup substantially from above with a camera, whereby an albumen image is obtained, and - imaging, substantially from above, of the yolk cup, having yolk area Ay, a preselected subarea Py, whereby a yolk image in a preselected colour system Sy is obtained.
Abstract:
This invention relates to an apparatus for conveying eggs, comprising: a first endless conveyor (19) or at least gathering and characterizing the eggs, wherein the first conveyor comprises at least a single conveying row of egg carriers (11) in the forward conveying direction T, and a second endless conveyor (2), for taking over the eggs from the first conveyor and for thereupon conveying and sorting the eggs, wherein the second conveyor is arranged under the first conveyor in a direction P and thereby crosses the first conveyor, with at least a single conveying row of egg carriers (21) in the direction P, wherein the carriers of the first conveyor, at least in the transfer referred to, are movable in the direction P, wherein the eggs are handed over from the first to the second conveyor with a relative speed in the conveying direction T of approximately 0 m/s in receiving the eggs in the egg carriers of the second conveyor.
Abstract:
This invention relates to an apparatus for sorting products comprising, -for conveying the products, at least a single row of carriers (2) tiltable to two sides, with fixed intermediate distances or pitch distances, wherein each carrier (2) is connected to a carrier connecting piece (20) through a hinge device (23,24,26), wherein the carrier connecting piece (20) is connected to two parallel endless conveyors (la, lb) which are housed in a frame (30) and wherein each hinge device (23,24,26) at its underside is provided with a tipping device (29a).
