Egg Washing Line
This line washes, dries and candles shell eggs before they go to grading, packing or breaking.
Egg Equipment
Egg Washing Lines
Also called egg cleaning machines.
Eggs must be washed and dried before breaking. Both halves of that sentence matter: a wet shell carries surface contamination through the crack, so a line that washes well but dries poorly makes your liquid egg worse rather than better.
Overview
What decides the result
Our washing lines combine a loading water tank, washing, air drying, a candling position and a collection platform. They ship as separate sections, so the layout can follow the building.

How to choose
- Throughput against your egg supply
Work back from how many eggs you can source per day and how many hours you plan to run, rather than forward from the machine rating.
- What comes next
A line feeding a breaking machine needs thorough drying. A line feeding retail packing needs a candling position an operator can work at comfortably for a whole shift.
- Water supply and drainage
Washing lines use water continuously. Confirm your supply and drainage before choosing a model — this is a common cause of delay at commissioning.
- Available space
The line ships in three sections and can be arranged in a straight run or around a corner. Send a floor plan and we will propose a layout.
Not sure which model fits your throughput?
Send your daily volume and your site conditions. We will recommend a model and explain the reasoning — including a smaller machine than you asked for, if that is what makes sense.

Information we need to quote
- How many eggs per hour, and how many hours per day?
- Does the line feed packing, grading or a breaking machine?
- What space is available, and are there height or doorway limits?
- What is your water supply and drainage arrangement?
- Local voltage and frequency?
Questions buyers ask
Why is drying as important as washing?
Because surface moisture carries contamination through the crack when the egg is broken. Washing without adequate drying moves contamination from the outside of the shell into your liquid egg. If the line feeds a breaking machine, the drying section is the part to scrutinise.
Does the washing line grade eggs?
No. Washing and grading are separate functions and separate machines, though they are commonly installed together and can run as one flow.
