PROAN today is "building the future with passion" within the egg industry and is always striving for product development and innovation. The company under General Manager Alberto Romo never rests and keeps optimizing the organization wherever it can be improved. This forward-thinking mindset goes back to the visionary founder of the company, Don Manuel Romo, whose philosophy is "What is good, can always be better". That's why they are the perfect partner for testing a new brush-less egg washing system Jet-WasherPro at their production facilities, while the company has been using traditional egg washers already since 2007.

The primary driver behind the new SANOVO Jet-WasherPro was to ensure equal washing results on differently sized eggs in the same batch. On top of that, we also wanted to simplify the daily maintenance through a design without moving parts. The Jet-WasherPro utilizes water nozzles (jets) instead of brushes.

PROAN agreed to try out this new washing method on their new 200,000 eggs/hour breaking line. The implementation process was smooth, the responsible R&D engineer also participated during commissioning at PROAN’s production site for rapid adjustment to ensure quick production ramp-up of the new line.

This is what Angel Mota said, Production & Maintenance Manager at PROAN Egg Processing Plant, Mexico:

“We started out years ago with the original version of SANOVO’s washing machines with brushing systems in our egg production. When we became aware of the opportunity to test the new Jet-WasherPro washing machine we decided to try it out, and it was installed in parallel with the original SANOVO washing machine.

Our first experience when comparing the two machines was that they both produced the same high quality of washing and that the sorting/exiting of the very dirty eggs in the candling station are comparable.

The differences between the two systems were noticed after some time when comparing the level of power usage. There was a significantly lower power usage with the Jet-WasherPro compared to the original machine washer with a brushing system, which was due to the complex mechanisms and motors used to move the brushes.

This complex system is eliminated with the new Jet-WasherPro, and therefore, the maintenance is practically zero, only requiring occasional cleaning. The water and chemical consumption have also improved, with a more economical operation as a result.

We are impressed with the SANOVO Jet-WasherPro machine and we will surely continue to prefer this new technology for our future projects.”
