Automatic Inoculator

Features

• Tray infeed station

  Trays are typically introduced into the inoculator manually. Optional the infeed conveyor, trolley unloader, and de-stacker can be added to automate this process. 

  

• Inoculation station

  Perforates the eggshells and injects a measured amount of virus-laden seed material into 36-42 eggs simultaneously. The inoculation head design permits doses as small as 0.05mL to be delivered to each egg with an accuracy of +/-10%. 

  

• Lift station

  Eggs are lifted from the tray and positioned under a guide plate, allowing each egg to be inoculated precisely to a pre-determined depth. 

  

• Unloading station

  After inoculation the trays are typically exiting the inoculator manually. Optionally the exit conveyor, trolley loader, and stacker can be added to automate this process. 

  

• Controls

  Primary machine controls are contained within the main control box located on the machine. The control box is fabricated from stainless steel and has gasketed access doors. All motors and gearboxes are designed for pharmaceutical wash-down. Customers choose between the Allen-Bradley, Siemens or Omron operator interface terminal with a touch screen control system.
