Advanced egg harvesting technologies boost yields.
RAME-HART’s egg harvesting solutions improve productivity and minimize the physical handling of eggs while performing multiple operations, including eggshell removal, egg-inspection, and harvesting itself.
With our advanced technologies, you can now process more eggs and deliver higher vaccine yields.
- Production rate: (variable) 10,000 to 20,000 eggs per hour
- The harvesters feature advanced high-resolution cameras and lighting technology, enabling the best possible analysis
- Designed for easy cleaning and maintenance
Harvest Station
The harvest needles withdraw the allantoic fluid from 'accepted' eggs during the harvest cycle. Rejected eggs do not get harvested. The harvesting needles do not enter the rejected eggs, and their vacuum supply remains 'off' during the harvesting cycle. The harvester is equipped with its own vacuum system to provide the suction required to withdraw the allantoic fluid from the eggs.
De-Capping Station
Automatically removes the upper section of eggshells, simultaneously creating an access hole for inspection of the interior and harvest needle entry. The decap station incorpoates a lift station and allows for deviation in the size of eggs up to +/- 0.2 inches.
Reject Station (Vision System)
This station is located on the machine or in a remote area away from the harvesting area. This system incorporates a touch screen monitor, camera and lighting. The decapped eggs are indexed below the light and camera. The operator rejects an egg by touching the screen.
Tray Infeed Station
Trays are typically introduced into the harvesting machine manually. As an option infeed conveyor, trolley unloader and de-stacker can be added to automate this process.
Dump Station
Discharges the harvested eggs from the trays following the harvest cycle. An optional grinder is available.
Control Box
The main control box and control system is similar to the one for the inoculator.
Unloading Station
Empty egg trays are manually removed from the machine. An optional conveyor system is available.

Automatic Inoculation
30,000 - 33,000 eggs/hour
Fast, precise and reliable egg inoculation expedite vaccines to market.
Trolley Loader & Unloader
The Trolley Unloader uses a spatula design to automatically transfer trays from the trolley to a conveyor.
Automatic Tray Washing System
Up to 1,000 trays/hour
The Automatic Tray Washer washes, sanitizes, final rinses, and dries trays at a rapid pace
Semi-Automatic Egg Harvester
This system is a section of the Automatic Harvester machine and works with smaller production facilities. For small- to medium-size production environments.
