What is poultry farm automation egg collection machine spare parts egg decelerator?

A poultry farm automation egg collection machine spare parts egg decelerator is a specific component—typically a star-shaped rubber or plastic wheel—positioned at the transition point between the vertical egg elevator and the horizontal cross-conveyor. Its primary function is to slow down (decelerate) the momentum of eggs as they roll off the egg collection fingers, preventing collisions and minimizing hairline cracks (micro-cracks).

In modern high-density poultry farming, automation is the key to profitability. The "automation egg collection machine" system (seen in the reference image with automation egg collection machine) moves eggs from different chicken cage tier levels down to a central egg collection point.

Gravity creates velocity. Without a mechanism to manage this speed, eggs would roll off the egg collection machine and smash into the guide rails or into other eggs.

How the Decelerator Works:

• Placement: It sits at the bottom of the vertical lift, directly above the rod conveyor or belt.

• Mechanism: As the plastic "egg collection machine's egg collection finger" releases the egg, the egg drops onto the rotating decelerator

• Action: The soft, flexible fingers of the star wheel absorb the kinetic energy. They gently rotate the egg and guide it flat onto the egg collection point.

• Result: This ensures the egg is oriented correctly for transport and significantly reduces the "impact force," which is the leading cause of B-grade eggs.

Maintaining an egg collection machine requires keeping a stock of high-wear components. Here are the most critical parts:

• Material: usually soft Rubber

• Wear Signs: Missing "fingers" on the star, hardening of the rubber (which causes cracks), or wobbling due to bearing failure.

• Function: Absorbs shock and orients the egg.

• Material: usually soft nylon

• Function: These hold individual eggs as they travel down the elevator.

• Maintenance: Replace if the plastic clips snap or if the scoop becomes misshapen, which can cause eggs to fall prematurely.

Pros:

• Yield Increase: Reduces mechanical breakage by up to 3-5%.

• Flow Control: Prevents egg jams at the transfer point.

• Noise Reduction: Rubber components operate quieter than rigid plastic.

Cons:

• Maintenance Frequency: Soft decelerators are consumable items and need replacement every 6–12 months depending on flock size.

• Hygiene: Rubber can harbor bacteria if not sanitized, unlike smooth plastic.

Pros:

• Yield Increase: Reduces Egg collision and mechanical breakage by up to 3-5%.

• Flow Control: Prevents egg jams at the transfer point.

• Noise Reduction: Rubber components operate quieter than rigid plastic.

Cons:

• Maintenance Frequency: Soft decelerators are consumable items and need replacement every 12 months depending on flock size.

• Hygiene: Rubber can harbor bacteria if not sanitized, unlike smooth plastic.

Don't wait for machinery to jam. Follow this replacement schedule:

1. Visual Inspection (Weekly): Check the yellow star wheels. Are the tips frayed? If yes, replace immediately.

2. Tactile Check (Monthly): Press the rubber. If it feels hard or brittle like hard plastic, it has lost its shock-absorbing properties.

The egg collection machine egg decelerator is a small, inexpensive part that protects your most valuable asset: the egg.
