The egg cracker has a function for separating the yolk from the white, but it is also possible to produce liquid egg mixture without separating the yolk from the white. The machine cracks the shells using specially designed blades. The cracked egg then passes through a special buffer and inspection system, where damaged eggs are detected. The egg mixture then passes through a separator, where the yolk is separated from the white. This method of cracking eggs—the most hygienic—is an innovation by OVO-TECH. The machine features a self-cleaning interior with a spray ball.
