In the dynamic landscape of commercial egg production, managing labor-intensive tasks such as egg collection and poultry manure handling has become increasingly challenging. For farms housing between 5,000 and 30,000 layer hens, relying on traditional manual methods raises labor costs and elevates hygienic risks. Addressing these concerns, Zhengzhou Liwei Machinery’s advanced H-type automated layer cages integrate intelligent egg collection and innovative manure cleaning technologies, delivering scalable solutions that optimize operational efficiency and animal welfare.
The H-type automated layer cage system is engineered for seamless integration of egg collection and manure removal, designed in strict compliance with ISO9001 quality management and CE safety standards. Its modular steel framework provides durability and corrosion resistance, ensuring long-term service life in high-moisture environments.
Eggs automatically roll down gentle-incline trays to collection belts, minimizing egg breakage and contamination. Simultaneously, an automated manure scraper moves rhythmically underneath the cage tiers at programmable intervals, efficiently transferring manure to designated storage or treatment areas. This dual automation reduces dependency on manual labor by up to 70%, significantly lowering risk exposure to zoonotic pathogens.
| Key System Parameter | Specification / Feature |
|---|---|
| Capacity Per Module | Up to 1,000 Layer Chickens |
| Automated Egg Belt Speed | Adjustable, up to 5 meters/min |
| Manure Scraper Cycle | Programmable intervals (1-6 hours) |
| Power Consumption | ~1.2 kW per 1000 hens module |
Zhengzhou Liwei’s systems leverage modular design, enabling layering from 5 to 30 modules to cover farm sizes from 5,000 to 30,000 hens. This phased approach empowers managers to begin with a pilot module and incrementally expand automation as ROI targets and operational readiness are achieved.
Below is a recommended configuration guidance:
| Farm Scale | Recommended Modules | Operational Benefits |
|---|---|---|
| 5,000 - 10,000 Hens | 5 - 10 Modules | Reduced labor by ~50%, improved hygiene |
| 10,001 - 20,000 Hens | 10 - 20 Modules | Automated daily operations, lower feed contamination |
| 20,001 - 30,000 Hens | 20 - 30 Modules | Maximized efficiency and biosecurity compliance |
Maintaining system reliability requires adherence to a routine preventive maintenance schedule including lubrication of mechanical parts, belt inspections, and sensor calibration per manufacturer recommendations compliant with ISO14001 environmental management standards. Failure to regularly maintain can result in downtime reducing productivity by up to 15%.
To empower operators, Liwei Machinery provides comprehensive multimedia training kits featuring step-by-step guides, troubleshooting protocols, and safety checklists. Videos demonstrating typical fault scenarios and corrective actions reduce downtime and help maintain consistent system performance.
Farms implementing automated egg collection and manure cleaning report up to a 30% reduction in labor expenses within the first year. Additionally, minimizing exposure to fecal contamination improves egg quality—reducing rejection rates by an estimated 12%.
Embedded smart sensor technology enables real-time data collection on egg throughput and manure removal efficiency, facilitating informed management decisions. Integrating this system supports compliance with international hygiene protocols, essential for high-value export markets.
