Pain Points of Traditional Manual Egg Collection and Manure Cleaning

In large - scale laying hen farms, traditional manual egg collection and manure cleaning methods have long been a headache for managers and technicians. Manual egg collection is extremely labor - intensive. On average, a worker can collect eggs from about 1,000 hens per day. With a farm of 10,000 hens, at least 10 workers are needed just for egg collection, which not only incurs high labor costs but also has low efficiency. In addition, manual collection may cause egg damage, with a damage rate of about 3% - 5%, which directly affects the economic benefits of the farm.

Manual manure cleaning also brings many problems. Manure accumulates in the chicken coop, creating a breeding ground for bacteria and viruses, increasing the risk of chicken diseases. According to industry statistics, farms using manual manure cleaning have a 20% higher incidence of chicken diseases than those with automated systems. Moreover, the unpleasant odor generated by manure affects the working environment of employees and is not conducive to the long - term health of chickens.

Comparison between traditional and automated egg collection

Design Logic of Zhengzhou Livi Machinery's H - type Layer Hen Cage Automated Egg Collection and Manure Cleaning System

Zhengzhou Livi Machinery's H - type layer hen cage automated system is a revolutionary solution to these problems. In terms of egg collection, the unique design of the egg slide mechanism ensures that eggs can smoothly roll from the hen cage to the collection conveyor belt. The egg damage rate is reduced to less than 1%, thanks to the soft buffer material used in the slide. The manure cleaning system can automatically clean the manure on the floor of the chicken coop at regular intervals. It can clean 95% of the manure each time, effectively reducing the breeding of bacteria and viruses.

The system also features a ventilation and temperature control linkage function. When the temperature and humidity in the chicken coop reach a certain level, the system will automatically adjust the ventilation volume and temperature to ensure a comfortable living environment for the chickens. This function can improve the egg - laying rate of hens by about 10%.

Structure of H - type layer hen cage automated system

System Configuration and Selection for Different - scale Farms

Farm Scale (Number of Hens) Recommended Module Combination Parameter Settings
5,000 Single - layer H - type cage, small - scale egg collection conveyor, and manure cleaning belt Egg collection every 2 hours, manure cleaning every 8 hours
10,000 Double - layer H - type cage, medium - scale egg collection conveyor, and manure cleaning chain Egg collection every 1.5 hours, manure cleaning every 6 hours
30,000 Triple - layer H - type cage, large - scale egg collection conveyor, and manure cleaning screw Egg collection every 1 hour, manure cleaning every 4 hours

Analysis and Solution of Egg Jamming and Blockage Problems

Egg jamming and blockage are common problems in the egg collection system. When an egg jams, it may be due to an abnormal egg shape or a malfunction in the egg slide. The system is equipped with a fault detection device, which can quickly locate the jammed position. Operators can refer to the system's fault diagnosis manual for troubleshooting. In most cases, simply adjusting the egg slide or removing the abnormal egg can solve the problem.

For blockage in the manure cleaning system, it is usually caused by excessive manure accumulation or foreign objects. Regular inspection and maintenance can effectively prevent such problems. If a blockage occurs, the system has a reverse - cleaning function, which can often clear the blockage without manual disassembly.

Troubleshooting the egg collection and manure cleaning system

Importance of Operator Training

Proper operation of the system is crucial for its long - term stable operation. Zhengzhou Livi Machinery provides comprehensive training for system operators, including图文教程和视频教程. Operators can learn about the basic structure, operation methods, and maintenance knowledge of the system through these materials. After training, the correct operation rate of operators can reach more than 90%, which ensures the normal operation of the system and reduces the probability of system failures.

In conclusion, Zhengzhou Livi Machinery's H - type layer hen cage automated egg collection and manure cleaning system is a high - efficiency, cost - saving, and quality - guaranteed solution for large - scale laying hen farms. It can significantly reduce labor costs, improve egg quality, and ensure the health of chickens.
