Abstract :

This survey was done for constructing an egg sorting machine which could sort white eggs from fertilized eggs. Egg sorting machine was constructed based on physiological properties of trout egg. Fertilized eggs have much more elasticity than white or non-hatched eggs. So the hatched eggs will fly back if were hit to a solid surface. The machine divided to 5 parts including mechanical, electrical and hydraulic systems, cabinet and pneumatic system. Materials and other parts would cut, melt and assembled after preparing industrial map. The designed machine should lead egg batches to a perforated drum for making a distance between eggs. 8 lines of holes made on drum too. Adjustment of hydraulic, pneumatic and mechanic systems lead to high accuracy of sorting eggs. The final amount of this machine was calculated 6.5 million Tomans.
