Oem Egg Washing And Grading Line In Uae
OEM Egg Washing and Grading Line for UAE Operations
An OEM egg washing and grading line combines washing, rinsing, drying, candling, weighing, and sorting modules into a single continuous flow that reduces manual handling and meets the stringent hygiene requirements of the Gulf Cooperation Council.
The process begins with a pre‑wash spray that loosens debris, followed by rotating brush scrubbers in a chlorinated rinse, a hot‑air drying tunnel with temperature and humidity control, UV candling stations for defect detection, load‑cell weighers for accurate weight measurement, and electronic graders that sort eggs by size and weight before discharge onto packing conveyors.
- Adjustable wash temperature range 30 °C to 55 °C with PID control
- All product‑contact surfaces made of stainless steel 304 or 316L for corrosion resistance
- Variable frequency drives on each module allow independent speed regulation from 10 % to 100 % of rated capacity
- Electrical enclosures rated IP65, suitable for wash‑down environments
- Integrated clean‑in‑place (CIP) system with programmable cycles and detergent‑level monitoring
In the UAE’s high humidity and ambient temperatures that often exceed 40 °C, effective drying and microbial control are critical; the line’s hot‑air drying tunnel maintains outlet air below 15 % relative humidity, preventing condensation on eggshells, while the UV candling step complies with GSO 2050/2019 standards for egg quality, allowing processors to meet local food‑safety regulations without relying on manual inspection.
The line is built as a series of skid‑mounted modules, enabling length adjustments from 4 m to 12 m and scalable capacities from 5 000 to 30 000 eggs per hour; optional ozone sanitization replaces chlorine for facilities seeking reduced chemical residues, belt materials can be specified as food‑grade PVC, polyurethane, or modular stainless‑steel mesh, and the discharge height can be configured to match existing packing line elevations between 800 mm and 1 200 mm.
Critical control points include inline turbidity sensors in the pre‑wash tank, free‑chlorine probes with automatic dosing, drying‑air temperature and humidity feedback loops, load‑cell accuracy verified to ±0.5 g per egg, and grading repeatability tested to less than 2 % variation across a 10 000‑egg sample; these measures support compliance with ISO 22000 prerequisite programs and facilitate routine validation audits.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can dimensions be customized?
Yes, the line is modular; length, width, and discharge height can be adjusted to fit facility layout and required throughput; custom lengths are designed per project specifications.
What information is required for quotation?
To prepare a quotation we need the target eggs‑per‑hour, preferred sanitizing method (chlorine or ozone), belt material choice, site ambient temperature and humidity data, and any existing line interface dimensions.
How is the line protected against corrosion in high salinity air?
All external frames are manufactured from stainless steel 304 with a passivation finish; optional SS 316L upgrade is available for coastal installations, and electrical enclosures are IP65 rated with corrosion‑resistant gaskets.
