Halves, slices or wedges – fully automated
The Steven BV industrial boiled egg slicing machine enables eggs to be cut in an efficient and hygienic way into wedges or into horizontal or vertical slices. Designed for food manufacturers and commercial production facilities, you can choose to place the cut eggs separately for fast downstream processing, or to keep the eggs together for better hygiene retention.
Egg processors in the food industry know the challenge: manual cutting is time-consuming, produces inconsistent results and requires more staff than necessary. One employee cuts differently than another, and as production goes on precision drops. The result is eggs that don’t look uniform – a problem for end products such as meal salads, tapas and bread toppings where presentation matters.
In addition, manual cutting causes significant waste. Incorrectly cut eggs (too crooked, bruised or cracked) cannot be used in the end product. This direct production loss weighs on margins, especially at high volumes.
The availability of staff for repetitive work is a growing bottleneck in the food industry. Automation is therefore not only a matter of efficiency, but of business continuity.
The Steven BV egg slicer is designed for a controlled and hygienic cutting process. A bag of eggs is placed manually in the drip tray, cut open, and the eggs can drain for an adjustable amount of time. Once the eggs have drained sufficiently, they are tipped into the main hopper.
From the hopper, eggs are fed one by one automatically. Each fed egg falls into a holder, after which a pusher drives the egg through a cutting frame with constant force. This controlled process ensures uniform cut quality for every egg.
The machine uses interchangeable cutting frames. Depending on the desired end shape (halves, horizontal or vertical slices, or wedges) the corresponding cutting frame is installed. Changing over to another cutting frame takes on average just 10 minutes, which makes the machine highly flexible for varying production demands.
After cutting you can choose to place the eggs separately for fast downstream processing, or to keep the eggs together for better hygiene retention. This makes the machine adaptable to the specific requirements of the next step in the production line.
The Steven BV egg slicer can be used fully standalone and operated by a single operator. At the same time, the machine is suitable for integration into existing production lines, such as a wrap line, sandwich line, salad line or tapas line.
Eliminates labor-intensive manual slicing bottlenecks. Replace multiple employees cutting eggs by hand with a single production operator. Reduces cost per unit and frees skilled labor for higher-value production tasks, directly improving your production line ROI.
Automated precision cutting ensures consistent product quality and minimizes waste. Equal pressure applied to every egg reduces crooked, bruised, or rejected output, critical for maintaining food safety standards and product yield in high-volume production.
Processes approximately 1,500 eggs per hour, production-ready capacity for food manufacturers handling large-scale volumes. Scales your boiled egg preparation without requiring additional labor investment.
Regardless of who operates the machine or how long production runs, the end product always has the same cut shape. Essential for meal salads and tapas where presentation determines acceptance by retailers.
Switch between halves, slices and wedges in just approximately 10 minutes. The interchangeable cutting frames provide maximum flexibility per production order.

The Steven BV egg slicer is used by various types of processors in the food industry. The machine only processes eggs and is not suitable for other products.
Meal Salad Producers
Streamline production by cutting boiled eggs quickly and uniformly for salad toppings. The consistent cut shape ensures professional presentation that meets food safety standards and retailer requirements. Integrates seamlessly into existing production lines.
Tapas Manufacturers & Stuffed Egg Producers
Cut eggs into equal halves for immediate downstream processing. The automated cutting frame enables rapid production of uniform halves, ideal for tapas lines and stuffed egg manufacturing. Can be integrated directly into your production workflow.
Bread Topping & Sandwich Production Lines
Integrate the egg slicing machine into wrap lines or sandwich production for efficient, consistent egg topping application. Reduces manual prep time and ensures portion control across high-volume production runs.
Ready-to-Eat Food Manufacturers
Process boiled eggs at production scale for prepared food products. The 1,500 eggs/hour capacity and food-safety-compliant design (HACCP, FDA-approved materials) support commercial food manufacturing requirements.
Catering & Food Service Distributors
Prepare sliced eggs for bulk distribution to restaurants, food service operations, and institutional kitchens. Automated consistency ensures quality across large volumes.
In addition to the cutting frames, adjustments to line integration are also possible. The machine can be connected to a wrap line, sandwich line, salad line or tapas line, tailored to the input and output requirements of your existing systems.
The cutting frames are made to measure as standard, tailored to the desired cut shape and the egg size you process. Whether you need eggs in halves, slices or wedges, the cutting frame is matched to your end product.
At Steven BV, there is no standard solution. Every egg slicer is designed and built based on your specific situation. This starts with a thorough analysis of your current production process, capacity requirements and future plans.
The custom process follows a set working method: analysis of your question, concept development, engineering, production, installation and after-sales support.
