Input Material
Crushed or broken eggshells carrying residual liquid from the outlet of an upstream egg-breaking machine.
For egg-breaking plants that need to transfer crushed shells, separate residual egg liquid and discharge both streams in a coordinated system.
Broken-Egg Processing
The OVOWELL eggshell and liquid separator system connects to an egg-breaking line to receive crushed shells, move them by screw conveyor, separate residual egg liquid by centrifugal action and discharge the two output streams. The final arrangement is reviewed against breaker capacity, feed height, floor layout, cleaning requirements and downstream handling.
This equipment handles broken eggshells with residual egg liquid after an egg-breaking process. Its role should not be confused with yolk and egg-white separation.
Crushed or broken eggshells carrying residual liquid from the outlet of an upstream egg-breaking machine.
Eggshell material is crushed, centrifuged and discharged for the plant's selected downstream shell-handling route.
Residual egg liquid separated from the shells leaves through an independent discharge for controlled downstream handling.
The system does not grade whole eggs or separate yolk from egg white. Upstream breaking and downstream product handling remain separate process steps.
No fixed liquid recovery percentage is stated. Actual output depends on the incoming shell condition, upstream breaking process, operating setup and the complete line arrangement.
The configuration coordinates material transfer, centrifugal separation and controlled discharge rather than treating the centrifuge as an isolated machine.
Mixed eggshell and residual liquid leaves the egg-breaking machine and enters the transfer point.
Confirm breaker outlet height, direction and peak input.
A 304 stainless steel screw conveyor transfers the shell material toward the centrifugal separator.
Match conveyor length and feed height to the actual layout.
The separator further breaks and distributes the shells through its screw and screen arrangement.
Input consistency affects the configured operating setup.
Centrifugal action moves residual liquid away from the shell material through the mesh-screen section.
Cleaning access and screen maintenance must be planned.
Eggshell and separated liquid leave through independent outlets under centralized control.
Confirm both downstream destinations before layout approval.
The values below come from a quoted project configuration. Final quantities, dimensions and line capacity must be confirmed for each installation.
| System section | Confirmed reference | Project decision |
|---|---|---|
| Screw conveyor | 304 stainless steel; reference dimension 2200 x 700 x 2100 mm | Feed height, transfer distance and connection to the egg breaker |
| Centrifugal separator | 80,000 eggs/hour single-machine reference; dual-speed screw and mesh-screen arrangement | Number of units, input condition, discharge direction and access |
| Quoted complete system | One screw conveyor, three separator units and one control cabinet; 160,000 eggs/hour quoted system reference | System balance must be reviewed rather than multiplying single-unit capacity |
| Control cabinet | Independent waterproof cabinet structure with Schneider electrical components and push buttons | Voltage, control location, interlocks and upstream/downstream signals |
| Construction | 304 stainless steel stated for conveyor and separator | Confirm final contact-part scope and surface-finish requirements |
The reference configuration identifies IKO and NSK bearings and UKS seals. The final bill of materials should be confirmed before order.
The reference identifies a FLOJET pump and an automatic cooling arrangement for the bearing-lubrication assembly.
Available reference spares include belts, bearings, seals, screws, a motor, hydraulic radiator unit and centrifuge screen.
The independent cabinet centralizes the supplied system. Interface signals to the breaker and downstream equipment are confirmed per project.
| Selection point | Information to provide | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Production load | Normal and peak eggs per hour from the breaking line | Separator quantity and system balance |
| Incoming material | Shell size, liquid content, feed consistency and photos or video | Transfer and separation review |
| Upstream interface | Breaker model, outlet size, height and direction | Conveyor inlet and transfer geometry |
| Layout | Floor plan, ceiling height, access route and preferred discharge direction | Equipment arrangement and maintenance clearance |
| Cleaning | Plant cleaning method, water points, drainage and sanitation requirements | Access, material scope and operating procedure |
| Outputs | Destination of separated liquid and discharged shell material | Outlet position and downstream connections |
| Utilities and control | Voltage, frequency and required line interlocks | Control cabinet and integration scope |
No. This system handles broken eggshells and the residual liquid remaining on those shells after egg breaking. Yolk and egg-white separation is a different process.
The source quotation identifies 80,000 eggs/hour for one centrifugal separator and 160,000 eggs/hour for the quoted complete system. Final capacity must be reviewed with the upstream breaker, material condition and selected system arrangement.
It can be configured as a downstream system after layout review. Send the breaker outlet size, height, direction, peak capacity and photos or drawings so the transfer point can be checked.
The machine separates residual liquid from shells, but downstream use depends on the plant's raw-material controls, hygiene procedures, quality checks and local requirements. The equipment page does not make a food-suitability guarantee.
No automatic or CIP cleaning function is assumed in this reference. Send the plant cleaning procedure, water and drainage conditions so cleaning access and any requested options can be reviewed.
Send eggs per hour, breaker outlet details, shell-condition photos or video, floor plan, feed height, both discharge destinations, cleaning method, voltage and required control interfaces.
Track live egg production on rod or belt conveyors with separate poultry-house records.
Clean reusable plastic egg trays through destacking, washing, rinsing, dewatering and stacking.
Review counting, tray washing, labeling and separation equipment by production step.
Broken-Egg Line Review
Send the breaking-line capacity, breaker outlet details, shell-condition photos or video, feed height, floor plan, cleaning method, voltage and both discharge destinations. OVOWELL can review the transfer, separator quantity and system layout before quotation.
