Setting the Benchmark in Automated Egg Processing

Eurovo, the largest egg processing company in Europe, partnered with SANOVO, an industry-leading solution provider, to further advance their production plants. The integration of the solution marks a significant step in Eurovo’s journey of automation for consistent, high quality egg processing.

In overall, the project was carried out and aligned across three plants, where SANOVO was involved in the following:

  • Monaldi plant: Integration of the automatic tray loading and utility washing system on an existing OptiBreaker 18 processing line. The plant is now Industry 4.0 compliant

  • COPRA plant: Integration of the automatic tray loading and utility washing system on an existing OptiBreaker 18 processing line. The plant is now Industry 4.0 compliant

  • MarcoPolo plant: Replacement of the existing breaker with the installation of a new Optibreaker 18 processing line with automatic tray loading and utility washing system.

Gruppo Eurovo: Innovation, Sustainability, and Family

At Eurovo, innovation, sustainability, and family are at the heart of everything they do. They are committed to continuous innovation through R&D, optimizing industrial processes, and selecting only the best raw materials. With a Benefit Company certification under their belt, they are dedicated to making a positive impact on both the society and the planet.

Family values are the compass that has guided Eurovo's journey from a small local business in the 1950s, started by Rainieri Lionello, all the way to an international powerhouse in the egg industry, still 100% owned by the Lionello family.

About three years ago, Eurovo saw an opportunity for technological advancement in their production plants and began looking into both replacing one of their existing breaking solutions and adding an automatic loading and tray, pallet, and interlayer washing solution. The equipment should also smoothly integrate with their existing machinery and streamline maintenance across the group. All in all, the desired outcome was to:

- improve efficiency in the loading area,
- reduce manual labor for more focus on quality control,
- optimize the overall egg processing setup.

More Efficiency with State-of-the-Art Egg Breaking & Automation

The OptiBreaker, capable of processing up to 216,000 eggs/hour and considered the best egg breaking machine for many years, enables continuous, high-quality liquid egg production and allows operators to focus on process quality and machine operation control for Eurovo.

With the implementation of the automatic loading and utility washing solution, Eurovo optimized loading and eradicated the need to transport packaging from the shelling plant to the washing plant. This nifty optimization not only kept things tidier in the loading and storage area, but it also cut down on breakages and losses of packaging related to the handling of eggs.

SANOVO's Support in the Project

SANOVO worked closely with Eurovo to design a solution that met their exact needs and business processes. From the initial meetings and reviews to the careful planning of the installation, SANOVO provided full support to ensure a smooth and successful integration with existing systems. In conclusion, the key points of the collaboration in the project phase are as follows:

  • Collaborative development of project layout with SANOVO's technical office

  • Gradual development of sustainable solutions

  • Planned installation in phases to minimize disruptions

  • Integration of the system within the factory system as a whole

  • Verification of accessibility, material flow, and integration with existing systems.

Naturally, as with any large significant project, there were hurdles along the way. But these were tackled with full collaboration and transparency. The equipment's performance hit the mark for Eurovo, reinforcing that choosing SANOVO was indeed the right move.

A Rewarding Journey of Collaboration

The partnership between Eurovo and SANOVO exemplifies the power of collaboration, transparency, and continuous improvement. Together, they are pioneering the future of egg processing, setting a benchmark for the industry. This successful partnership serves as an inspiration for businesses across the globe, underlining the power of innovation, the importance of sustainable practices, and the strength of long-standing partnerships.
