Segment Overview
The egg loading and cleaning segment serves as the primary process in the egg sorting processing line, directly determining the quality foundation for subsequent processing. This segment achieves efficient automatic feeding and deep cleaning of eggs through automated equipment, ensuring complete removal of surface contaminants and establishing a hygienic foundation for subsequent grading, sterilization, and packaging.
Detailed Process Description
Egg Loading Process
Raw eggs enter the processing line through an automated feeding system. Operators pour entire baskets of eggs into specialized water tanks, utilizing the buoyancy buffer effect of water to effectively prevent egg damage. After natural separation in water, the eggs sink to the bottom conveyor roller area, where the rollers automatically arrange them in single or double rows and smoothly transport them to the cleaning machine entrance. This design avoids direct manual contact, reducing the possibility of bacterial cross-contamination.
Cleaning Process
After entering the cleaning machine, eggs undergo three stages of deep cleaning:
- Pre-rinsing stage: High-pressure spray system performs initial rinsing to remove large particle impurities
- Brush precision cleaning stage: Eggs maintain rotation during conveyance while multiple horizontal wear-resistant filament brushes perform comprehensive cleaning
- Final rinsing stage: Clean water spray ensures no detergent residue remains, preparing for subsequent processing

Compared with traditional manual cleaning, this equipment improves cleaning efficiency by more than three times. Through the combination of horizontal brushes and rotational movement, it effectively removes stubborn stains such as feces, mucus, bedding, weeds, and blood spots from egg surfaces, particularly showing significant removal效果 on pathogenic microorganisms like Salmonella.
2. Breakage Rate Control Technology
Using the buoyancy buffer principle of water, the whole-basket loading method controls the breakage rate below 2%. The conveying system adopts flexible design, maintaining stable egg posture during transportation to avoid damage caused by mutual collision.
3. Energy-saving and Environmental Protection Features
- Water-saving design: Recirculating water system combined with high-pressure spray saves 50% water compared to traditional cleaning methods
- Energy-saving operation: Total power only 6.5kW, with intelligent control system optimizing energy consumption
- Environmentally friendly materials: All contact components comply with food-grade hygiene standards
4. Strong Adaptability
The equipment is suitable not only for ordinary fresh eggs but also for various processed eggs such as mud eggs, ash eggs, marinated eggs, and brine eggs. Special brush materials and adjustable water pressure can meet the cleaning needs of different egg products.
Process Innovation Highlights
Automated Sorting Technology
Through the new self-cleaning egg conveyor, automatic egg queuing and sorting is achieved. This innovation solves the problem of manual arrangement in traditional egg loading processes, greatly improving production efficiency.
Customized Design Concept
The equipment supports personalized customization according to customer needs:
