The conveyor carries tray after tray of eggs under the print heads at a steady speed. At the end of the line a sensor can stop the tray automatically to prevent overflow or damage.
A photoelectric sensor detects each egg and tells the head exactly when to fire, so ink is spent only on eggshells, not gaps. This keeps codes aligned and minimizes waste.
Many machines add an auto-lift head with a spring or motorized suspension: the head rises as an egg passes, avoiding collisions and keeping the print distance constant for different egg sizes.
Why SHICAI: The SHICAI Six Nozzle Egg Coding Machine uses exactly this conveyor, sensor and auto-lift head design, and arrives as a complete station with its own conveyor.
