Today, I’d like to share with you the role of an egg beater

Egg Beater Eggs are conveyed via a conveyor belt to the robotic arm; the multi-robot conveyor system at the front ensures efficient and sustainable operation. In line with the increased number of flights on the Suzhou route, passenger load factors have risen significantly, and the catering department’s daily food production has increased by nearly 4,000 portions. As one of the most crucial raw materials, up to two eggs are used per portion, amounting to several thousand kilograms daily—or 12,000 portions at peak times. The processes from disinfection, washing and refrigeration to cracking, whisking and filtering are of paramount importance. Egg-cracking machine The chefs in the catering department used to crack 500 kilograms of eggs by hand every day; the entire process of whisking, filtering and handling all the steps took at least half a day! “Frozen eggs are difficult to whisk, but they must be whisked and filtered to prevent shell fragments from remaining in the egg liquid. When we first started, it took half a day and was truly unbearable; now that we’ve got used to it, it’s not too bad, but it’s a waste of manpower.”

The catering department has now introduced a new type of automatic egg-cracking machine, which easily resolves the aforementioned issues. With just one person placing the eggs on the conveyor belt, the machine simulates the manual labour involved in egg-cracking, carrying out continuous operations such as cracking, separating the egg white and yolk, and removing the shells. It performs an automatic secondary crack, processing 3,600 eggs per hour. Furthermore, the front end of the machine’s conveyor belt utilises optical detection to quickly identify rotten eggs; once the egg cups are separated, this reduces the amount of shell fragments entering the egg liquid; the robotic arm has a range of approximately 300 degrees, improving the extraction rate of the egg liquid; and the homogeniser at the end of the machine rapidly mixes the egg liquid. The egg-cracking machine has significantly improved production efficiency whilst ensuring food safety and hygiene.
