Six nozzles, one full tray, no sorting needed
Model S600D
The SHICAI six-nozzle egg coding machine runs a full 5 × 6 tray under six independent nozzles in a single pass, so eggs are never sorted or handled one at a time. It ships as a complete station — stainless conveyor, pallet retaining baffles at the infeed and the head bar over the belt — rather than a bare print head waiting for someone to build a line around it.
Each of the six nozzles can be assigned its own print content, and nozzle height is adjusted electrically with a one-key lift. Print height runs from 2 to 12.7 mm, and resolution is adjustable from 300 to 600 dpi on the machine. Codes cover Chinese and English characters, QR and barcodes, graphics, serial numbers, dates, shifts and variable databases.
The controller is a 7.0-inch capacitive screen. Codes can be imported from a USB flash drive, the interfaces are USB and RS232, and the ink path takes food-grade, water-based or oil-based 42 ml cartridges in red, yellow, blue, green, black and white. The print head cleans itself and is maintenance free, the interface ships in 25 languages, and line speed stays adjustable so the coder follows the grader rather than setting its pace.

No sorting, no breaking the tray apart, no second pass.
A standard 5 × 6 tray goes onto the conveyor and runs under the head bar. The tray is never broken apart.
Choose the saved code on the 7.0-inch capacitive screen, or import a new one from a USB stick. Interface runs in 25 languages.
All six nozzles fire across the tray, so the full 5 × 6 plate leaves the belt coded. No second pass, no re-sorting.
The parts of the machine that decide throughput, code quality and how long a changeover takes.
Every nozzle can be assigned its own print content, so a single pass can put a different lot code, date or farm name on each column of the tray. Height adjustment runs 2 to 12.7 mm on an electric one-key lift.
Six nozzles sit on a stainless conveyor with pallet retaining baffles at the infeed, so the machine is installed as one unit and the tray runs through at line speed. Because the whole plate is printed in one pass, eggs are never lifted out, sorted and put back.
The 7.0-inch capacitive screen holds the job, so a shift change is a tap rather than a setup. Codes can be imported from a USB flash drive, and resolution is adjustable from 300 to 600 dpi.
The machine takes 42 ml food-grade cartridges in water-based or oil-based ink. The head bar prints without touching the shell, so there is no pad to clean and no pressure mark on the egg.
If your line uses one of these, the tray needs no adapter.

Hourly figures are calculated from the speed the factory publishes, on a standard 5 × 6 tray (30 eggs). Real throughput follows your line speed, loading and stoppages. A dash means the factory has not published that figure — ask us and we will confirm it against your line.
An egg coding machine is the industrial name for equipment that applies codes (dates, batch numbers, serial numbers, QR codes) onto eggshells. In practice it is the same family of devices as an egg printer or egg inkjet printer; "coding" emphasizes the traceability and compliance data…
Read the full answerYes. Most commercial egg printers are designed to integrate with egg graders and washers from brands such as MOBA, SANOVO/STAALKAT and ZENYER. The coder mounts on the grader's conveyor or feeding roller so coding happens inline as eggshells are graded, weighed and checked for cracks. Integration…

A single-head inline unit manages roughly 15,000–20,000 eggshells an hour, and handheld models far less again. To plan, divide your daily egg count by…
