Rehos Egg Washers Boost Efficiency for US Producers

Eggs represent both a nutritional staple and a significant market opportunity. For poultry businesses, the ability to efficiently clean, grade, and ensure quality is paramount to maintaining competitiveness. Traditional manual methods often struggle with high labor costs, inconsistent output, and quality control challenges.

Since its founding in 1959, Kyowa Machinery has built its reputation on delivering technological excellence to the poultry industry. The company's US Series egg processing equipment represents this commitment, serving as both a product line and a testament to decades of industry partnership. With over 1,250 units sold, the series has become a trusted solution for operations worldwide.

The US Series distinguishes itself through compact design, superior cleaning performance, and precise grading capabilities. These machines combine durability with operational simplicity, making them equally suitable for small batch processing and continuous operation. Designed specifically for small-to-medium operations, the equipment addresses core production challenges while maintaining quality standards.

The product line offers three primary configurations:

• US-36 (3,600 eggs/hour): The most compact model integrates both washing and grading functions, ideal for artisanal producers or small facilities. Optional configurations include grading-only (UG-36) or washing-only (U-363) variants.
• US-51 (5,100 eggs/hour): This mid-range model includes standard features such as heater mounting bases, centrifugal blowers, and six-lane feeding tables, making it particularly suitable for medium-scale operations.
• US-100 (10,000 eggs/hour): As the highest-capacity model, the US-100 maintains the same standard features while delivering industrial-scale throughput for high-volume processing.

Traditional visual inspection methods present inherent limitations in detecting internal egg abnormalities. Kyowa's BEX detection system, adapted from technology used in large-scale grading facilities, addresses these challenges. Positioned after the drying brushes, the system provides consistent, high-precision detection regardless of shell coloration.

• Multi-lane feeding tables: Reduce manual handling while ensuring optimal inspection conditions (standard on US-51/US-100, optional for US-36)
• Vacuum lifting systems: Automate egg transfer from storage trays to processing lines
• UV sterilization: Provides microbial reduction during conveyance
• Chemical injection systems: Enhance washing efficacy through controlled sodium hypochlorite dosing (requires post-use flushing)

Specifications exclude peripheral equipment and optional components. The system's modular design allows for customized configurations based on operational requirements.
