Abstract Improved method and means are disclosed for transferr- ing eggs from transportation trays to a row conveyor which feeds the eggs to washers or breakers or other devices. A single op- erator transfers loaded trays of eggs from stacks of trays to a transfer position. At the transfer position, the operator may inspect the trays and remove undergrade eggs and replace them with acceptable eggs. An egg transfer means then carries the eggs to an egg row conveyor. During the transfer, the egg spacing is adjust- ed if necessary from the tray spacing to the conveyor spacing. After the egg transfer, the transfer means returns to the pick-up point and proceeds through another cycle. Alternatively the trans- fer means may be set to await a signal from the operator before pro- ceeding with another transfer cycle. During the transfer, the op- erator inspects the top trays at the pick-up position to clear them of untransferred eggs and to remove solid trays, and then the op- erator places additional filled trays on the tops of the stacks of emptied trays for the next cycle. The emptied trays are stacked at the transfer position and the operator periodically removes the stacks and places them in a conveniently positioned carton or on- to a removal conveyor.
