OPTIONAL EGG PATTERN
DEVICE
Use:
The egg pattern device is designed for filling
trays with an offset cell pattern and an odd
number of eggs (for example Jamesway 73,
Hatchtech 88, Chick master 130/165).
Construction:
The egg pattern device consists of:
1 Bar
2 Blocking shafts
3 Air controlled cylinder
The egg pattern device is placed above the
infeed gates.
Process:
Trays with an offset cell pattern cannot be filled
symmetrically and therefore, now and then, a
pattern needs to be created to fill the complete
tray automatically.
Normally the bar is up. As soon as the egg
pattern needs to be created, the bar with
blocking shafts moves down after eggs have
been detected in all infeed gates. The roller
track moves 1 step forward receiving a full row
of eggs. Now only the sensors (4) above the
gates without blocking shafts are looking for
eggs. As soon as those sensors are detecting
eggs, the roller track moves 1 step forwards,
receiving an incomplete row of eggs. Eggs
blocked by the blocking shafts remain in the
gates. Afterwards the bar with blocking shafts
moves up.
Safety:
The egg pattern device is secured with a
protective cover.
