Abstract
The present invention concerns a device for obtaining egg liquid from poultry eggs, comprising,—an egg holder for fixedly holding and positioning such egg along its main axis substantially vertically,—an egg opening device for decapitating such egg at both ends after having been positioned vertically, thereby having the liquid falling and flowing downwardly into at least one liquid collection reservoir arranged underneath the egg holder, and—a control device for controlling positioning such egg and driving said opening device and said egg holder, whereas the invention also comprises a method for collecting egg liquid from poultry eggs, the method for each egg comprising the following subsequent steps,—gripping the egg substantially at both sides of the egg parallel to its main axis, wherein the egg is positioned substantially vertically along its main axis,—decapitating the egg at both ends, and—blowing from above into such end to urge the liquid flowing and falling downwardly into at least one liquid collection reservoir. This device and method are designed for building a system for collecting egg liquid from poultry eggs. It has appeared that by applying this invention nice results are obtained in collecting egg liquid, giving very advantageous egg liquid processing parameters and suitable hygienics.
