A MACHINE FOR WASHING EGGS

摘要

A machine for washing eggs (1) has a washing section with spray nozzles (23) and with a brush frame (12) carrying brushes facing down towards the conveyor and having an underside profiled according to the egg shape. The brush frame is suspended in a stationary machine frame and may be actuated by a drive (30, 38) for reciprocating movement in both the longitudinal and the transverse directions of the conveyor so that the brushes are moved in a curved movement in relation to the conveyor and thus also in relation to the eggs, which results in a thorough cleansing of, particularly, the end areas of the eggs.
