Abstract
An apparatus for cleaning eggs comprising a housing, a roller conveyor, at least the upper run of which extends through said housing, rotary brushes disposed above said upper run of the roller conveyor, at least one driving crank shaft for moving the brushes in an axial direction, and fluid supply means disposed above the brushes. The improvement is that the brushes are coupled two by two by means of a yoke having a bearing arranged to rotate about a journal which is fixedly secured to a frame. Each yoke is further provided with a pin which is connected to a driving rod, and one end of the driving rod is driven by a driving crank-shaft mechanism.
