The CANOPUS is a grading system series for bulk processing at a rate of 40,000 to 240,000 eggs per hour. It can not only be coupled with various detector and transport modules but also be used in combination with automated warehouses and robots for further streamlining of operations.
Narrow Pitch Carrier moves slowly and process larger capacity. Since the carrier pitch is narrow, the carrier speed is suppressed, and the impact on the egg can be minimized.
Direct packing
Packing eggs sorted by size directly from intermediate buckets into containers allows for efficient sorting with large quantities of eggs.
Made of stainless steel
The frame is made of stainless steel, which is resistant to rust and stains, making it durable and easy to clean.
Options
Washer & Dryer
The Washer & Dryer automatically washes and dries eggs oriented by accumulators. Instead of pouring egg wash water over the eggs, it brushes them while rolling them in the hot water to remove any dirt.
Washing process
Eggs soaked in water are washed with rotating egg-washing brushes. After washing, a mixture of hot water and sodium hypochlorite is applied to clean and sterilize the eggshell surface.
Drying process
Water is blown out of the surface of eggs by the air shot at the exit of the washer. After that, the eggs are dried up by drying brushes and by air from pressurized fans over the eggs.
Carton Closer
The Carton Closer identifies the pulp mold carton filled with eggs and closes the lid. It does not close the lid of the carton if any of the eggs are missing.
Supports packs of various sizes
It can close the lid of 10, 12, 15, and 18 pulp mold cartons and plastic button packs.
CIP system
Carrier Washer
CIP (Cleaning in Place) has been introduced in each part to facilitate maintenance and extend the machine life. The carrier, roller, and bucket are automatically cleaned without disassembling.
