OVO by Lomar — Automated Egg Palletizer
The automation that transformsMachine views
Key features
OVO stems from Lomar's expertise in industrial electronics and poultry automation. A complete solution for egg room management, integrating egg collection and palletizing across the whole egg processing line. Every component is designed and built in-house at Flero (BS), Italy.
Position control via quadrature encoder: high precision, fast response, and long-term reliability. Maintenance reduced to a minimum.
PerformanceAt equal dimensions, OVO outperforms competitors by 150% in throughput. Fits easily in egg rooms with limited space or unusual layouts.
SpaceWindows 11 interface with instant display of machine status, operating parameters and production KPIs. Ethernet integration for remote supervision.
ControlOptical barriers around the entire perimeter, no metal cages. 24 VDC system with dedicated UPS for data backup in case of power outage.
SafetyEthernet connection for real-time data collection and monitoring. Direct Lomar support without intermediaries, also remotely.
ConnectivityDedicated optional: automatically places a protective egg cover on the top layer of the stack, safeguarding eggs during handling and storage.

production capacity
Until now, a standard-tier palletizer guaranteed output of up to 40,000 eggs. A significant investment with predictable results — but no room to grow without additional spending.
Lomar completely redesigned the system, combining software optimization, patented hardware innovations and proprietary engineering solutions. Fewer steps, leaner workflows, efficiency maximized at every stage.
“Target achieved.” Yesterday's same investment today processes up to 100,000 eggs/hour — a 300% growth in production capacity while the purchase cost stays unchanged. The machine becomes not just more efficient, but extraordinarily smarter.
Divider layer management
OVO comes standard with an automatic divider management system — a feature not found on all market machines. Dividers are automatically retrieved by the robot every ~5 layers to ensure pallet stability during transport.
Rigid plastic dividers, the most common in large-scale industrial farms.
compatibleFlexible plastic dividers in yellow or grey, handled with the same precision as rigid ones.
compatibleSupport for corrugated or rigid cardboard dividers, often preferred for export and long-distance transport.
compatibleStandard feature, not an extra. The automatic divider retrieval system is built into OVO as standard. During every operation, the system automatically checks both the divider magazine and the pallet being formed, ensuring the cycle advances correctly.

About us
In 1983 Giuseppe Loda — young yet already an established and respected technician — chose to turn his professional work, built on service and problem-solving, into an entrepreneurial venture. His goal was clear: to design and build electronic equipment capable of delivering the precision, innovation and reliability he had too often had to do without during his years as maintenance manager at one of the leading steelworks in the Brescia area.
That same enthusiasm still drives Giuseppe Loda and inspires his team, giving Lomar a dynamic environment ready for new technological challenges and always set on improving what only yesterday seemed perfect.
A company's history is captured in the union of longevity — its lifespan — and the innovative drive with which it earns its place in the market. For over thirty years Lomar s.r.l. has designed and supplied electronic equipment and wiring for industrial automation to leading, prestigious companies in the field. The most advanced production lines, traditional functional testing, sophisticated software, microscopes, computerized vision systems and the innovative flying-probe testing all guarantee the precision and quality of every product.
It is precisely from the meeting of Lomar's mechanical and electronics departments that OVO was born: the fruit of advanced interdisciplinary connections, where mechanics, electronics and software speak as one within a single machine. An egg palletizer in which the same culture of precision and reliability — nurtured by Giuseppe Loda since 1983 — takes shape in service of the poultry industry.
Customization
Every facility is different. OVO is configurable based on the layout of the space, required production capacity, and desired level of automation.
Discharge stations configurable from 1 to 3 complete pallets. Automatic magazine for empty pallet feeding. The process becomes fully automated, further reducing operator intervention.
The egg entry zone can be positioned on the right or left to fit perfectly into the existing production line layout. No need to modify the room.
Optional add-on that automatically places a protective cap on the top layer of each pallet. Ideal for export or to reduce breakage during transport.
OVO can be sized to the plant's production. The variable-speed conveyor integrates with any packaging machine on the market.

Frequently asked questions
The most common questions about egg palletizing, handling and packing.
An egg palletizing system picks up eggs already packed in trays or cartons and automatically stacks them on pallets, inserting divider layers between each tier. It's the final step of the egg processing line before shipping. OVO by Lomar automates exactly this stage, handling up to 100,000 eggs/hour.
An egg handling system moves eggs from the nest where they're laid to the processing room, typically via conveyor belts installed in the poultry house. A palletizer like OVO works further downstream, once eggs have already been collected, graded and packed: its job is to stack them on pallets for storage and shipping.
No, OVO focuses on the palletizing stage, not on primary egg packing into trays. It integrates smoothly downstream of any packer or grader on the market, completing the full egg processing line from packing to shipping.
OVO handles up to 100,000 eggs/hour, with a fork load of 4 stacks x 6 trays and 5 layers per pallet. Thanks to brushless motors and a compact design, it outperforms traditional palletizers by 150% in throughput at equal footprint.
Automating egg transport in the egg room generally requires dedicated collection conveyors installed in the poultry houses, a grader or packer downstream, and, for the final stretch of the line, a palletizing system like OVO that automatically stacks pallets ready for shipping.
Yes. OVO's variable-speed conveyor integrates with any packaging machine on the market, regardless of the collection and transport system already installed on the farm.
Automated egg handling equipment reduces breakage, speeds up the production cycle, requires a single operator instead of several, and improves hygiene standards thanks to less manual handling. With OVO, palletizing automation also includes automatic divider layer management, often handled by hand on other lines.
OVO is positioned at the end of the line: it receives trays or finished packs from the packer via a variable-speed conveyor and automatically stacks them on pallets. It requires no structural changes to the existing line, and the egg entry zone can be positioned on the right or left to fit the room layout.
