The SR4O PC Packer is being used with automatic belt collecting systems.
This self-powered, one person operation can pack up to 45 cases per hour.
The spring cushion conveyors for more gentle, positive egg handing, takes the
eggs thru the disc type orientors, which softly places them, points lacing the same
direction, into our blue cups - here the operator merely places the package over the
eggs.
After going around the stainless steel drum and onto the take-away belts, your
uncracked and unchecked eggs are ready for your cooler.
We also feature a sponge type egg oiler which can be added to your packer now
or in the future.
The totally mechanical, no electronic Egomatic SR4O PC Packer, with it’s
limited maintenance, will give you years of trouble free packing.
