CUSHIONED
EGG
Electronic Drives
The innovative, electroni
cally-controlled drive
system enables eggs to be
transported at a smooth, cont
ous speed on an endless con l
or with drive units loc£
intermittently up to 150’ apart
Optimum Rod Spacing \
Space between each cushioned rod is the j
key to egg separation and preventing I
smaller eggs from slipping through the
conveyor while allowing all debris to be
sifted out.
Design Flexibility Iji
The unique “Cushioned Rod” egg conveyor t| r
enables you to custom design a system that gen- J
tly transports eggs up, down, around corners and
in a continuous straight line without transfer, and
even declines to match processing equipment.
Custom Corners
The unique radial corner system in the Farmer
Automatic rod conveyor can be custom
designed to fit 15° through 90° turns.
