A METHOD FOR FEEDING EGGS TO AN EGG BREAKING APPARATUS AND AN EGG BREAKING APPARATUS

摘要

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 (13) by means of a feed conveyor (3). Each egg breaking device (13) receives one egg at the time and all egg breaking devices are mounted on a common drive conveyor (4), where the egg breaking devices (13) are moved in relation to the feed conveyor (3) in a first direction following a substantially vertical first axis (al) at the area of the feed conveyor (3). The feed conveyor (3) feeds eggs to the egg breaking devices (13) along a substantially horizontal second axis (a2). When near a position at the feed conveyor (3), the egg breaking devices (13) are tilted about a third axis, which is substantially perpendicular to the first and second axes, in a second direction (Tl) substantially opposite to said first direction.
