Factory Direct Poultry Egg Packing Machine for Brazil

This equipment is designed to receive, orient, and place table eggs into cartons or trays at rates suitable for medium‑to‑large poultry farms. It handles eggs ranging from 45 mm to 63 mm in diameter with a gentle‑grip mechanism that limits shell damage to less than 0.2 % per cycle. The machine operates on three‑phase 380 V / 60 Hz power and can be integrated into existing washing, drying, and grading lines.

Technical Specifications

Key Design Features

• Soft‑pickup silicone grips with adjustable pressure (0.1 – 0.3 N) to prevent micro‑cracks.
• Servo‑driven lane divertors allow rapid change‑over between carton sizes (6‑egg, 12‑egg, 30‑egg trays) in under 90 seconds.
• Open‑frame construction with sloped surfaces eliminates fluid traps, facilitating CIP/SIP cleaning cycles.
• Modular conveyor sections enable lane count expansion from 2 to 6 lanes without mechanical redesign.
• Integrated vision sensor verifies orientation accuracy (>99.5 % correct placement) and rejects misshapen eggs.

Application in Brazilian Poultry Processing

Brazil’s egg production frequently involves breeds that yield larger eggs (up to 63 mm) and high seasonal throughput. The machine’s adjustable lane width and gentle‑grip mechanism accommodate this size variation while maintaining low breakage rates, which is critical for meeting both domestic market standards and export requirements. Its stainless‑steel frame resists corrosion in humid processing environments common in the country’s coastal regions, and the IP65‑rated electronics protect against dust and water spray during wash‑down procedures.

Quality Assurance and Testing

Before shipment, each unit undergoes a functional test run at 110 % of rated speed for 30 minutes, during which egg flow, lane synchronization, and rejection logic are monitored. Weld inspections are performed using dye‑penetrant methods on all stainless‑steel joints, and surface roughness is verified to be Ra ≤ 0.8 µm on food‑contact zones. Documentation includes material traceability certificates and a factory acceptance test report available upon request.

Customization Options

• Voltage variants: 220 V / 60 Hz, 400 V / 50 Hz, or 480 V / 60 Hz with appropriate motor rewiring.
• Lane count: configurable from 2 to 6 lanes, with corresponding drive modules.
• Egg size adapters: interchangeable inserts for 30 mm‑45 mm small‑egg lines or 63 mm‑70 mm jumbo‑egg lines.
• Downstream integration: options for inline labeling, date‑coding, or case‑packing modules.
• Control language: HMI available in Portuguese, English, or Spanish.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the machine be adapted for free‑range eggs with varied shell thickness?

Yes, the grip pressure is adjustable and can be set to accommodate shells as thin as 0.30 mm without increasing breakage risk.

What information is required before a quotation is issued?

Required details include desired capacity (eggs/hour), egg size range, lane count, power supply specifications, and any needed downstream integration (e.g., labeling).

Which materials are available for food‑contact parts?

All food‑contact components are supplied in AISI 304 or AISI 316L stainless steel; alternative polymers such as FDA‑approved PTFE are available for specific wear surfaces.

How is quality inspected during manufacturing?

Inspection includes dimensional verification of critical features, weld dye‑penetrant testing, surface roughness measurement, and functional performance testing at varied speeds.

What packaging methods are used for export shipments?

Machines are secured on steel skids, wrapped in corrosion‑inhibiting film, and placed in wooden crates meeting ISPM‑15 standards for international transport.

What is the typical production lead time?

Lead time ranges from 8 to 12 weeks after receipt of technical specifications and advance payment, depending on customization scope.
