A packaging device for packaging eggs, comprising: a roller conveyor with an endless series of mutually spaced-apart interconnected rollers, each having a longitudinal direction which is oriented in a transverse direction with respect to a direction of transport of a conveyor track of the roller conveyor, the rollers comprising a profile of wide sections and narrow sections in the longitudinal direction, wherein the narrow sections are configured to carry eggs during transportation, wherein the endless series of rollers of the roller conveyor is wound around at least one transport roller on a reverse side; a packaging conveyor configured to supply packagings to be filled with eggs to under the reverse side of the roller conveyor and remove packagings filled with eggs; and a carrier device (4, 22) positioned under the reverse side of the endless roller conveyor, comprising a plurality of in line and juxtaposed egg carriers which are provided in a transverse direction with respect to the direction of transport and which, in operation, in a first, relatively high position, collect eggs which are transported by the roller conveyor in the direction of transport to the carrier device, move them downwards in the direction of the packaging conveyor and then, in a second, relatively low position, place them in packagings which have been supplied by the packaging conveyor, a drive device with a driving wheel, configured to drive the roller roller rotation means configured to cause each of the rollers to rotate about a longitudinal axis directed in the longitudinal direction, at least when the roller conveyor is being driven, egg lifters, provided in the conveyor track of the eggs and near the reverse side of the roller conveyor, always at the location of a center of each narrow section, in such a way that, in operation, an egg which approaches the reverse side of the roller conveyor track is engaged and lifted up slightly by an egg lifter when passing that egg lifter, characterised in that said drive device with said driving wheel is configured to drive the roller conveyor at varying speed, in such a way that, in operation, the roller conveyor accelerates before eggs are dropped in the egg carriers on the reverse side of the roller conveyor and decelerates when the eggs are dropped from the roller conveyor. a roller conveyor with an endless series of mutually spaced-apart interconnected rollers, each having a longitudinal direction which is oriented in a transverse direction with respect to a direction of transport of a conveyor track of the roller conveyor, the rollers comprising a profile of wide sections and narrow sections in the longitudinal direction, wherein the narrow sections are configured to carry eggs during transportation, wherein the endless series of rollers of the roller conveyor is wound around at least one transport roller on a reverse side; a packaging conveyor configured to supply packagings to be filled with eggs to under the reverse side of the roller conveyor and remove packagings filled with eggs; and a carrier device (4, 22) positioned under the reverse side of the endless roller conveyor, comprising a plurality of in line and juxtaposed egg carriers which are provided in a transverse direction with respect to the direction of transport and which, in operation, in a first, relatively high position, collect eggs which are transported by the roller conveyor in the direction of transport to the carrier device, move them downwards in the direction of the packaging conveyor and then, in a second, relatively low position, place them in packagings which have been supplied by the packaging conveyor, a drive device with a driving wheel, configured to drive the roller roller rotation means configured to cause each of the rollers to rotate about a longitudinal axis directed in the longitudinal direction, at least when the roller conveyor is being driven, egg lifters, provided in the conveyor track of the eggs and near the reverse side of the roller conveyor, always at the location of a center of each narrow section, in such a way that, in operation, an egg which approaches the reverse side of the roller conveyor track is engaged and lifted up slightly by an egg lifter when passing that egg lifter, characterised in that said drive device with said driving wheel is configured to drive the roller conveyor at varying speed, in such a way that, in operation, the roller conveyor accelerates before eggs are dropped in the egg carriers on the reverse side of the roller conveyor and decelerates when the eggs are dropped from the roller conveyor.
