ABSTRACT:
An egg transporting system for receiving eggs from a plurality of egg belt conveyors leading from cages of a poultry installation receives eggs on an input side and transfers them to an opposite side of the system to an accumulation conveyor. The transporting system includes an elevator having a plurality of generally U-shaped egg transporting cradles with asymmetric legs for receiving and cradling eggs at the input side and holding and transferring eggs on the discharge side while providing a smooth transition of the egg from one leg to the other as the eggs are moved from one side of the vertical elevator to the other side. A plurality of the cradles are mounted adjacent one another to cross bars extending between endless loop drives with vertically spaced rows of cradles in abutting contact to present substantially continuous egg receiving openings to the belt conveyors. In one embodiment, the conveyor has an inclined input end to facilitate transfer of eggs into the cradles and improved mounting system for simplifying the attachment of the egg conveyors to the input side of the elevator. In some embodiments, an improved egg counting assembly is mounted to the output side of the elevator for singulating and counting the eggs collected by the system and transferred onto the main conveyor.
