egg cleaner

[Carson213]

I am restoring my grandparent’s egg cleaning machine. it is basically a dry, fine sand paper belt that cleans 12 eggs at a time. my grandparents used to have 1200 chickens and sold eggs to the hatchery and for consumption. i’ve been looking online to find other “dry” cleaning machines and can’t find anything. i have back roll outs...so my eggs are clean. however, i am just curious about “dry” cleaning machines. does anyone on here have a modern machine? i like that if you have eggs in a traditional nesting box, you can clean it without water and not by hand.

Where are you located?

Different places have different regulations about what is permitted and/or required for egg sales.

Is there an Ag college nearby where you might find someone knowlegable about/interested in historical egg production equipment?

Maybe your local Ag office could put you in touch with someone?

I've seen a few, but dry cleaning isn't really cleaning, IMO.
Is this just pure curiosity or are you planning on using it for selling eggs?

why are there no dry egg cleaners?

the company that made this one no longer exists. not everyone has roll outs. if you wash with water you should refrigerate. a dry cleaner is a great option but nobody sells one...

I suspect that would have to do with food safety regulations.

Your local Ag extension could probably answer this.
