    摘要: This invention relates to an apparatus for receiving and transporting a stream of eggs, comprising, —a conveyor for transporting eggs in a transport direction T, —a releasing device connected with the conveyor, for releasing predetermined eggs away from the conveyor, separately, downwardly out of the stream, —a guide for receiving and taking over such an egg from the releasing device and guiding it to an egg processing apparatus, and —two driven star wheels placed substantially close to each other, with shafts perpendicular to T, and with opposite directions of rotation of the shafts, while upon rotation their blades along a part of the rotation path are placed over each other and transport the eggs substantially cupwise downwardly. In a suitable manner, with this apparatus, for example intact but dirty eggs can be released from a sorting stream and be received for further handling or processing.

    摘要: The present invention relates to an apparatus for transferring eggs from a upstream first endless roller conveyor (1) to a downstream second endless roller conveyor (2), • wherein the eggs during transfer are guided by means of a star wheel unit (3), thereby rotating and taking over the eggs at the very downstream down going end of the first conveyor, guiding the eggs during a downward movement over a saddle (4), and releasing the eggs onto the very upstream end of the second conveyor (2), • wherein the first conveyor (1) has a first transporting speed vl and the second conveyor (2) has a second transporting speed v2, with substantially v2/vl = r, with r a real number > 1, • wherein at least the second conveyor is transporting the eggs in a transporting direction in a substantial horizontal plane, wherein the eggs are transferred onto an horizontal part of said second conveyor. The system of the invention has appeared very suitable for both remedying breakage of eggs, for increasing egg processing capacities, and for manufacturing conditions. The invention also provides a method for transferring eggs.
