ABSTRACT:
The machine comprises a series of egg cracking and contents separating heads carried on bracket plates which are connected to form a continuously traveling chain conveyor advancing in a horizontal path along which there are means for actuating the cracking and separating mechanisms on each head, with the cracking mechanisms being activated at a transfer station so as to receive a group of eggs from a feed conveyor and while advancing to crack and open the shell portions at a dumping area where each egg contents is dropped into the associated, swingably mounted separating mechanism, comprising a yolk cup and an albumen collecting pan, which is disposed beneath the cracking mechanism and which is advanced to a discharge area where the assembly is tilted so as to discharge the yolk and the albumen into separate receptacles, there being means enabling an operator to inspect and manually discharge a whole egg contents into a collecting receptacle or a spoiled egg into another collecting receptacle when the egg yolk is broken or the operator determines the egg contents is inedible. Means is provided for controlling the transfer of the eggs from the feeding conveyor to the breaking heads and synchronizing the drive of the conveyors which enables high speed operation together with arrangements for obtaining maximum efficiency in the separation of the egg contents from the shell and the albumen from the yolk.
