Abstract:
An improved breaker head is disclosed for use on automatic egg breaking machines. These machines receive whole eggs from a conveyor or other egg feeder and crack, open and drain the eggs. This improved head has a cracking knife arrangement which engages the inner side portions of the egg shells. This facilitates egg drainage by permitting a more complete and a more rapid draining of the egg white, facilitates the yolk removal, and adjusts knife penetration in accordance with the egg size to protect yolks from knife damage in smaller eggs.
