Egg transport systems in MELLER installations
MELLER installations – among others economy and longevity,
quality and continuously development.
Elevator
The elevator operates without a dosing device, which means, that
up to the egg cross conveyor the eggs only have to be transfered
twice. Due to the larger number of conveyor baskets, a higher
transport capacity of max. 16,000 eggs per hour can be reached.
The egg elevator allow the eggs from all levels of the laying system
to be collected simultaneously. The transfer of the eggs onto
the egg cross conveyor can occur at any height you choose. This
Approved signs:
• A solid construction made of high-grade materials
in perfect fabrication
• An elaborated and nearly maintenance free technique
guarantees a long durability and a high efficiency
• Simultaneously collecting of the eggs in all levels to
the same time
• Works with each system caused on the independence of
the height to transfer the eggs from the elevator onto the
egg cross conveyor.
• High transport capacity of max. 16,000 eggs per hour
caused on the optimized design
• Automatic forerun control with time relays
The Egg Saver
An egg saver system is also available upon request. Eggs rolling
down from cage bottoms are gently retained by the egg saver
wires and thus do not roll directly onto the egg collection belts.
Thus, eggs already on the conveyors are not damaged by incoming
eggs.
The egg saver wires are raised by compressed air cylinders at
certain intervals and the eggs roll slowly onto the egg collection
belts. The electrical control unit and the pneumatic system are
included in the delivery of the egg saver.
Egg transport systems
means that the egg cross conveyor does not inevitably have to be
installed on or under the floor, but can be e.g. arranged so that a
passageway is left open.
The egg collector is equipped with two mutually independent drives,
one of which drives the egg collection belts within the system
(upon request with rpm control/frequency converter). To achieve
higher tractive forces, especially in long systems, the power take-off
rollers of the lengthwise egg belts are rubber-coated and
equipped with additional pressure rollers.
The other drive runs at a constant speed and serves to drive the
elevators or dosing devices. All drive shafts run in maintenancefree
plastic bearings.

Lift
One advantage of the lifting system, among others, is that the
eggs must only be transferred once on their journey from the
collection belts to the farm packer or grading maschine.
It contains a multi-level conveyor, which means that the collection
belts are driven by couplings or one power take-off per
level. The lifting system positions the egg cross conveyor in front
of the level in need of collection. A braking geared motor and
Approved signs:
• A solid construction made of high-grade materials in
perfect fabrication
• An elaborated and nearly maintenance free technique
guarantees a long durability and a high performance
• Only one transfer from egg belt till farmpacker or
sorting machine
• Transport of the eggs per each tier
• Minimum space requirements
• Automatic switching from tier to tier
Egg-Protection Cord
The Egg-Protection Cord is used as protection for the hens, because
the hens like to pick the eggs themselves, respectively eat
them. Due to this reason the Egg-Protection Cord is placed above
the Egg-Saver. It runs through insulators and is a live wire.
If the hen tries to touch the egg it will get an electric shock.
Because the birds are adaptive they will not try further to eat
the eggs.
limit switch are components of the lifting system, which guarantee
the exact positioning of the egg cross conveyor in front
of the individual levels.
Circuit technology ensures that the egg collection belts on one
level can only be operated when the egg cross conveyor is positioned
in front of this level. Washout eggs fall through special
egg transfer devices into collection trays.
Further advantages to this system are the minimal space requirements
and an open passageway due to the parked position of
the egg cross conveyor above the batteries.
