ABSTRACT

An egg conveyor assembly ( 1 ) comprises a first conveyor ( 4 ) having a first
conveyor direction (X), a second conveyor ( 5 ) extending in a second conveyor
direction (Y) transverse to the first conveyor direction (X) and a transfer
device ( 6 ) arranged between the first conveyor and the second conveyor. The
transfer device includes a transfer conveyor comprising and endless element (
60 ) and extending in the second conveyor direction (Y). The second conveyor
circulates second egg retainers ( 52 ) continuously, and the transfer conveyor
circulates egg transfer retainers ( 62 ) discontinuously, in such that the egg
transfer retainers of the transfer device are approximately standing still
when receiving eggs from the first conveyor, and such that the egg transfer
retainers of the transfer device are moving approximately synchronously with
second egg retainers of the second conveyor when dropping the eggs in the
second egg retainers of the second conveyor.
