Title: Egg-deshelling apparatus

Abstract: Apparatus for de-shelling hard-boiled eggs which comprises a feeding arrangement for feeding hard-boiled eggs to a position between two walls. The walls are reciprocated to bat the eggs to-and-fro between the walls to shatter the egg shells. The fragments of shell are washed away by a water spray, the de-shelled egg then being discharged. The walls may be parallel walls between which the eggs are passed on a conveyor or may be part of a continuous wall forming an oval container in which the eggs are de-shelled individually. In this case a plurality of said oval containers may be provided.
