PURPOSE: To make a freshness-keeping solution uniformly adhere to the whole egg surface.
CONSTITUTION: This apparatus is equipped with a spray nozzle 3 for spraying a freshness-keeping solution 2 such as a vegetable oil from the above of eggs 8 carried and conveyed by a conveyor 7 and a plate-shaped discharge electrode 12 between the spray nozzle 3 and the eggs 8 so as to forcibly make the freshness-keeping solution 2 sprayed through the spray nozzle 3 uniformly adhere to the egg 8 surface. In this case, when the sprayed mist of the freshness-keeping solution 2 is allowed to pass through the discharge electrode 12, the mist is charged negative by an effect of corona discharge generated from the discharge electrode 12 toward the eggs. The charged mist subsequently moves forcibly alone a line of electric force by an action of an electric field and then uniformly adheres to the whole surface of the eggs conveyed while rolling on an egg carrier 11.
