APPARATUS FOR SELECTIVELY PROCESSING EGGS, AND ASSOCIATED METHOD

摘要

An egg processing apparatus is provided. Such an apparatus includes a processing head and processing devices (300) associated therewith. Each processing device has an end configured to interact with an avian egg (5). Each processing device is capable of being selectively held in a non-contact or contact position with respect to an avian egg during a processing sequence such that a first subset of the processing devices is in the non-contact position while simultaneously having a second subset of the processing devices (300c) in the contact position. An associated method is also provided.
