Abstract: The invention relates to an egg breaking apparatus and a method of feeding eggs to an egg breaking apparatus, where eggs are fed to a plurality of egg breaking devices by means of a feed conveyor. Each egg breaking device receives one egg at a time and all egg breaking devices are mounted on a common drive conveyor, where the egg breaking devices are moved in relation to the feed conveyor in a first direction following a substantially vertical first axis at the area of the feed conveyor. The feed conveyor feeds eggs to the egg breaking devices along a substantially horizontal second axis. When near a position at the feed conveyor, the egg breaking devices are tilted about a third axis, which is substantially perpendicular to the first and second axes, in a second direction substantially opposite to said first direction. In a preferred embodiment the egg breaking devices are brought back into their initial, untilted position before or during a period of emptying of the broken egg and after the yolk has left the eggshell upon breaking of the egg, the egg breaking device is preferably tilted downwards in relation to the initial, untilted position, preferably to an angle of approximately 45 degrees below a horizontal plane. During a period of emptying of the egg the egg breaking device may be moved in an uneven pattern, e.g. serrated or corrugated, pattern, causing a vibration of the egg breaking device. It is also preferred, that the egg breaking device performs a second tilting at the end of the period of emptying of the egg. Guiding rail may be provided for guiding the egg breaking devices along a particular track, each egg breaking device preferably being provided with a projecting member capable of interacting with the guiding rail(s).

Abstract: A device for separating the yolk and albumen of an egg is provided. A housing includes an inner chamber and an outer chamber. A lid member is detachably coupled to an upper edge of the housing. The lid includes an annular member positioned above the inner chamber and a plurality of slots disposed adjacent to the annular member communicating with the outer chamber. The annular member is sized for retaining the yolk and for causing the albumen to overflow the annular member with the slots allowing the albumen to flow downwardly into the outer chamber. A lever is pivotally coupled to the annular member. The lever has a bottom portion abutting a bottom edge of the annular member for enabling dispensing of whole yolk retained in the annular member into the inner chamber without breaking the yolk. A funnel is detachably mounted on the lid. The funnel has a bottom opening positioned above the annular member for directing the egg to the annular member. A circumferential flange on a top edge of the funnel provides an anvil for breaking the shell of the egg prior to dispensing the egg in the funnel member. The housing may optionally be provided with a closeable spout communicating with the outer chamber. The spout provides facile removal of albumen retained in the outer chamber.

Abstract: This egg breaking machine provides a means for separating egg shell from the liquid part of the egg. The eggs (1), along with the egg holder, commonly called a filler flat, containing thirty or less eggs, are placed into the egg breaker pan (3). At one end of the pan is attached a hinge (5) that is also attached to the upper section or egg support guide (6). The egg support guide has holes (7) that allow the egg tops (8) to fit through. With the eggs and egg holder placed inside the egg breaker pan, the guide is placed down on top of the eggs exposing the top section of the eggs. Placed on top of the support guide, there is an egg cutter (12) made from a flat metal plate attached to a horizontal support beam that rotates from a connecting rod placed at the end of the pan opposite the support guide hinges.

Abstract: An apparatus for shelling boiled eggs is adapted to crackle the egg shell in a first section by impact action for a certain period and to subsequently transfer the egg to a second section, in which the egg shell fragments are cleared from the egg body. The first section includes a tubular egg positioning member with an upper opening and a lower opening which during the crackle action are positioned above two shafts rotatable in the same direction of rotation. The second section comprises a conveyor belt and a retainer roller mounted in spaced relationship from a cylinder, the roller and the cylinder being rotatable about substantially parallel axes of rotation and being capable of contacting the upper side of the conveyor belt. The apparatus is capable of shelling the eggs without causing damage thereto, even though the eggs are only light-cooked, i.e. so-called "smiling" eggs.

Abstract: An apparatus for rapidly breaking and separating eggs is disclosed. The apparatus comprises an egg holder for holding a plurality of eggs stationary in a select number of rows. A pair of contiguous knife blades are positioned below each row of eggs. The knife blades are movable from a lower position below the eggs to an upper position wherein the knife blades break the shells of the eggs. The knife blades are movable horizontally to a spaced-apart position to allow the egg contents to drain between the knife blades. A receptacle is provided for receiving the egg contents. A hollow cone with a depressible collar is preferably positioned below each egg to receive the egg contents. The collar can be depressed to allow the egg whites to overflow the cones into the receptacle and only the egg yolks are retained within the cones.

Abstract: An apparatus for separating liquid from shell egg material which is discarded as inedible in egg cracking and separating or similar processing operations, which apparatus comprises a pair of driven belts of substantial width arranged one above the other with opposed upper and lower runs between which the egg material is fed so that shells are crushed and the liquid allowed to drain into a collecting pan beneath the lower belt while the shell fragments are discharged into a chute at the end of the belts. A feed chute is provided at the entrance to the belts for feeding the egg materials onto the upper run of the lower belt and a hopper is mounted along one side of the feed chute into which may be dumped quantities of material which is largely liquid so that a large portion of the liquid may pass through the perforated bottom wall of the hopper into a drain pan beneath the same while the remainder of the material is carried by a screw conveyor to the main feed chute.
