If you're managing a poultry farm, you know how much time and effort goes into collecting eggs manually—especially when it's done multiple times a day. But what if you could reduce labor by up to 40%, lower egg breakage rates from 8% to under 2%, and improve overall hygiene? That’s exactly what modern automated egg collection systems are delivering for smart farmers around the world.
Traditional methods mean workers walk through cages every 2–4 hours, picking eggs one by one. This leads to:
Modern H-type layer cages now integrate either roller-based or conveyor belt systems:
| Feature | Roller System | Conveyor Belt |
|---|---|---|
| Collection Speed | ~300 eggs/hour per station | ~500 eggs/hour per station |
| Maintenance Needs | Low (simple cleaning) | Moderate (belt tension checks) |
| Initial Setup Cost | $2,500–$4,000 per unit | $3,500–$6,000 per unit |
Real-world data from farms in Thailand, Brazil, and the Netherlands shows that after installing these systems, average egg quality improved by 15–20% due to fewer handling incidents and better temperature control during transport.
To ensure smooth integration, ask yourself:
Most importantly: Don’t skip the pilot phase. Start with one section of your farm — typically 100–200 birds — to test performance before full rollout.
Even the best systems can face hiccups like occasional jamming or noise. Here’s how to handle them:
And yes — our systems come with ISO 9001 and CE certification, plus 24/7 remote diagnostics and local support teams ready to respond within 48 hours.
So… is your current setup holding back productivity? If you’re tired of counting broken eggs at the end of each shift, it might be time to upgrade.
