I'm pulling up a blank on this one. Apparently (from what little I found on Google) it is some kind of enclosure with bright lights to check eggs in mass-producing chicken farms by shining light through them, so bad ones can be filtered out? I've tried several "guesses" in English but none of them come up with decent reference material relating to this specific machine.

egg inspection device or egg candling device
In the olden days, eggs used to be inspected by holding them up to candle light. The process was called candling and although candle light is no longer used, the name has stuck.
