LOOSE EGG TRANSPORT MODULE WITH V-SECTION SHELVES/BELTS

摘要

In an egg transport system, a transport module receives the daily egg production from a shed and stores it under refrigeration. Loose eggs (E) are loaded by a loader/unloader onto movable belts (27) carried by vertically arranged shelves (20). Shelves (20) are made of welded mesh (23) and have sides (22) and a shallow V-configuration when viewed from the end (ie in the direction of travel of belt 27). When loaded with eggs, the top run of belt (27A) form valley in conformity with the shape of shelf (20) preventing eggs (E) from rolling off shelf (20).
