In modern egg - laying chicken farming, the traditional egg - collecting method has long been a pain point for farmers. Manual egg collection is not only labor - intensive but also prone to egg breakage, which affects the quality and quantity of egg products. According to industry statistics, in traditional egg - collecting operations, the egg breakage rate can reach up to 5% - 8%, resulting in significant economic losses for farmers.
The automatic egg collection system, such as the one equipped with the efficient H - type layer chicken cages from Zhengzhou Liwei Machinery, offers a revolutionary solution. This system effectively reduces labor costs, improves egg integrity rates, and enhances overall farming efficiency. For example, it can reduce labor costs by up to 60% compared to traditional methods, and increase the egg integrity rate to over 95%.
The automatic egg collection system consists of several key components: the roller conveyor belt, the induction recognition device, and the sorting module. The roller conveyor belt gently transports eggs from the chicken cages to the collection area, minimizing the impact on eggs. The induction recognition device can identify the size, shape, and quality of eggs, and the sorting module separates eggs according to different criteria.
The working principle of the system can be described as follows: When eggs are laid, they roll onto the roller conveyor belt. The belt then transports the eggs to the induction recognition device. After the device analyzes the eggs, the sorting module sorts them into different categories, such as first - grade eggs, second - grade eggs, and unqualified eggs. This process is highly automated and efficient, as shown in the following simple flowchart:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Eggs are laid and roll onto the conveyor belt |
| 2 | Eggs are transported to the induction recognition device |
| 3 | The device analyzes eggs |
| 4 | The sorting module sorts eggs |
Stocking density is an important factor affecting the operation of the automatic egg collection system. In a high - density stocking environment, the system needs to handle more eggs in a shorter time, which may put pressure on the conveyor belt and the sorting module. However, through empirical analysis, it has been found that the automatic egg collection system from Zhengzhou Liwei Machinery can maintain stable operation even under high - density stocking conditions.
For example, when the stocking density is increased from 6 hens per square meter to 8 hens per square meter, the system's egg - collection efficiency only decreases by about 3% - 5%, and the egg integrity rate remains above 93%. Moreover, the system has little impact on the comfort of the chicken flock. A well - designed system can ensure that chickens have enough space to move around and lay eggs in a stress - free environment.
For farmers, practical operation and maintenance are crucial for the long - term and efficient use of the automatic egg collection system. Regular maintenance, such as cleaning the conveyor belt, checking the induction recognition device, and lubricating the sorting module, can extend the service life of the system. In addition, farmers should also master some basic fault - troubleshooting skills. For example, if the conveyor belt stops running, they can first check the power supply and the motor.
In recent years, the trend of intelligent farming and green agriculture has been on the rise. Governments around the world have introduced a series of policies to support the development of intelligent and sustainable agriculture. For example, some countries provide subsidies for farmers who adopt intelligent farming equipment. The automatic egg collection system is in line with this trend, which can help farmers achieve intelligent transformation and improve the overall competitiveness of the egg - laying chicken farming industry.
