Characteristics of Vibrations Produced by Egg Sorters Exported for Asian Laying Hen Farming

In this study, mechanical vibration generating cracked-eggs was measured and analyzed using commercial egg sorter. Vibration measurement of egg sorter was carried out by a FFT Analyzer ZonicBook/618E and acceleration sensors on the transfer system and packing system. The vibration measured on the transfer system ranged from 202.03 to 396.87 G (where, G=9.81 m/s2), and the magnitude of the impulse that eggs received from the transfer system was about 20.60~39.24 N in these tests. In the packing system, the vibrations were 7.98∼9.05G, and the quantities of impulse imparted on the eggs were about 3.92∼4.91N.
