Are you tired of manual egg collection slowing down your operation and increasing labor costs? You're not alone—over 70% of small to mid-sized poultry farms in Southeast Asia report that hand-picking eggs accounts for 30–40% of total daily labor time, with inconsistent quality due to human error.
That’s where automated egg collection systems come in—not just a convenience, but a productivity game-changer. Whether you’re using H-type layer cages or planning an upgrade, understanding how roller-style vs. conveyor-based systems integrate can make all the difference in efficiency, reliability, and long-term ROI.
Roller-style systems gently guide eggs from the cage floor into a central collection bin using rotating cylinders. They’re ideal for farms with lower egg output (<15,000 eggs/day) and tight space constraints. Meanwhile, conveyor belts offer higher throughput—up to 25,000 eggs/hour—and are better suited for large-scale operations.
Real-world data from a 20,000-hen farm in Thailand shows:
| Feature | Roller System | Conveyor System |
|---|---|---|
| Avg. Egg Collection Speed | ~10,000/hr | ~22,000/hr |
| Fault Rate (Monthly) | 1.2% | 0.8% |
| Cleaning Effort | Low | Moderate |
As shown above, both options reduce labor by up to 60%, but the right choice depends on your specific setup—and that starts with preparation.
Pro tip: Ask yourself — “Does my current team have the skills to maintain this?” If not, don’t rush. A well-trained operator saves more than just downtime—it builds confidence in the tech.
Once installed, regular cleaning every 7 days and monthly motor inspections will keep your system running smoothly. Common issues like belt slippage or roller jamming usually stem from poor hygiene or misalignment—not faulty parts.
