The OptiBreaker is equipped with a separation cup which is unique in its shape and material. At the point of receiving the product from the breaker unit, the entire separation cup is tilted. This allows the albumen and yolk to slide gently down into the separation cup ensuring that the fragile yolk remains intact.
The separation cup is designed to allow the thicker part of the albumen to slip over the edge while the thinner part of the albumen will drain out through passages in the lower part of the cup. The OptiBreaker allows a staggering separation time of no less than 5.0 seconds.
