Abstract

See full text

The present invention is a device for weighing and breaking eggs, and a method for weighing and breaking eggs. The eggs are conveyed on a conveyor to an egg-weighing station, at which each egg is individually weighed. The weight of each egg is sent to a storage and processing device, where the weight values are summed to arrive at a total value for all eggs passing through the egg-weighing station. The eggs are then conveyed to an egg-breaking machine, which may also separate the contents of the eggs broken in the egg-breaking machine. The data in the processor can be used to accurately calculate the weight of eggs processed by the egg-breaking machine. In addition, this data can be used to calculate the yield of the machine, by comparing it with data regarding the weight of the shells of the broken eggs and the weight of the egg contents from the broken eggs.
