Factory Supply High Capacity Egg Washer
Factory Supply High Capacity Egg Washer
In modern poultry processing lines, eggs must be cleaned quickly and uniformly before further processing such as breaking, pasteurizing, or packaging. High-capacity washers reduce manual handling, minimize microbial load, and maintain line throughput.
Working Principle
The washer consists of a stainless‑steel rotary drum equipped with spaced brush rows and a series of high‑pressure spray nozzles. As eggs tumble through the drum, brushes gently agitate the shell while nozzles deliver a controlled spray of warm water and approved sanitizing agent.
A programmable logic controller (PLC) adjusts drum speed, spray pressure, and cycle time based on sensor feedback from turbidity and temperature probes, ensuring consistent cleaning across variable load sizes.
Key Technical Specifications
- Maximum throughput: 30,000 eggs per hour (based on 55 mm diameter eggs)
- Drum diameter: 1,200 mm; length: 2,500 mm
- Installed motor power: 7.5 kW AC inverter drive
- Water consumption: 120 L/h at 2 bar pressure (adjustable)
- Sanitizer injection range: 50–200 ppm chlorine equivalent
Specification Table
| Parameter | Typical Value | Adjustable Range |
|---|---|---|
| Egg capacity (per hour) | 30,000 | 20,000 – 35,000 (via drum speed) |
| Motor power | 7.5 kW | 5.5 – 11 kW (optional) |
| Water usage | 120 L/h | 80 – 180 L/h (nozzle pressure) |
| Overall dimensions (L×W×H) | 2,800 mm × 1,400 mm × 1,600 mm | Customizable per site layout |
| Construction material | AISI 304 stainless steel | AISI 316L available for corrosive environments |
Typical Applications
Egg washing is a critical control point in facilities that produce liquid egg products, powdered egg, or ready‑to‑eat egg‑based meals. By reducing surface contaminants early in the line, the washer helps downstream equipment such as breakers and pasteurizers operate with lower fouling rates and extends cleaning intervals.
Typical installations include integrated poultry processing plants, standalone egg product manufacturers, and large‑scale bakery ingredient suppliers that require a continuous, sanitary feed of shelled eggs.
Customization Options
- Variable drum length to match line speed
- Alternative brush materials (nylon, polypropylene) for specific shell types
- Heat exchanger for warm water recirculation
- Remote monitoring via Ethernet/IP or Modbus TCP
- Explosion‑proof motor rating for hazardous dust zones
Maintenance and Serviceability
The drum assembly is mounted on quick‑release clamps, allowing removal in under 15 minutes for brush replacement or inspection. Spray nozzles are designed with self‑cleaning tips and can be serviced without draining the water tank. Electrical components are housed in an IP65‑rated enclosure with clear labeling for troubleshooting.
Routine preventive maintenance includes checking brush wear (replace when bristle length < 2 mm), verifying sanitizer concentration via inline probe, and lubricating drum bearings every 500 operating hours.
