KL Products - Chick/Shell Separator

Description

The shaker separator is our most efficient design for chick/egg shell separation. The chicks are gently tipped onto the separator bed by a 6-way tray turner for the semi and fully automatic models and a 2-way turner for the manual model. This turner allows for more consistent and even transfer of the chicks, reducing bunching and piling and allowing for more accurate chick counts. The chicks are separated onto a belt conveyor while the egg shells are shuttled to the end of the bed and into a hopper for disposal. The chicks are passed through a final stage vacuum to remove small egg shell debris. This style of separator uses approximately 25% of the energy of a similar capacity roller style separator, is much smaller and uses considerably less moving parts.

Key Features & Benefits

- Six-way tray turner for the semi and fully automatic models and a 2-way turner for the manual model allows for greater tray throughput and gentler chick handling. It also provides for consistent and even transfer of chicks, reducing bunching and providing for more accurate chick counts. Accepts metal or plastic trays.
- Our exclusive dust/egg shell vacuum provides exceptional shell pick-up and performs well at speeds in excess of 700 trays per hour. Other systems provide unreliable pick-up, particularly at higher speeds.
- Complete NEMA 4 - stainless steel electrical enclosure with motor starters, pneumatic controls, PLC, fuse blocks and overload devices included at no extra cost.
- Smaller and more efficient than roller style - from 25-57% less space depending on model with 50% less cleanup time and a third less maintenance required.
- Modular design allows for easy upgrades with lower cost and downtime. Easy up-grade from manual to semi or fully automatic.
