Egg collection systems for cage production

Flexible, efficient and gentle on the eggs

Egg collection systems are an integral part of the equipment in layer and breeder houses. Why? Because time savings, low labour costs, excellent egg quality and the accurate recording of all eggs produced are essential. Big Dutchman egg collection systems meet even higher requirements:

  • gentle transport of the eggs;
  • high reliability;
  • easy handling.

Based on the farm size and layout as well as the individual customer’s requirements, Big Dutchman offers different options for egg collection. The product range includes elevators and lift systems as well as curve, rod and vertical conveyors, table drive systems and manual collection tables.

EggSmart

EggSmart is an elevator from Big Dutchman that transports eggs from the longitudinal belts to the elevator chain and then onto the cross belt. It needs very little space in the end set area. The eggs are first transferred from the longitudinal egg belt to a very short rod conveyor, from where deflectors distribute them onto the entire width of the elevator chain. No additional distribution units are required. The well-proven Big Dutchman transfer unit then transfers the eggs from the patented elevator chain to the cross belt.

Ważne zalety

  • collection capacity of up to 9 000 eggs per hour;
  • simultaneous collection of eggs from up to four tiers;
  • little space required in the end set area;
  • no distribution units, i.e. minimum maintenance and adjustment requirements;
  • easy access to all cage rows, no obstructions because of the cross collection;
  • rod conveyor with cleaning function so dirt and soft-shelled eggs do not reach the elevator chain;
  • suitable for all cage types;
  • simple installation.

EggCellent

The EggCellent elevator, designed by Big Dutchman, is characterised by its large collection capacity and requires only minimum system adjustments. Of course, it also provides everything necessary for safe egg transport.

This means that the eggs are first transferred from the longitudinal egg belt to a rod conveyor, from where deflectors distribute them onto the entire width of the elevator chain. No additional distribution units are required. To match the conveying capacity and the laying performance, egg belts and elevator chains are actuated separately.

Ważne zalety

  • high collection capacity of up to 19 000 eggs per hour*;
  • simultaneous collection of eggs from up to eight tiers;
  • no distribution units, i.e. minimum maintenance requirements;
  • rod conveyor with cleaning function so dirt and soft-shelled eggs do not reach the elevator chain;
  • easy access to all cage rows, no obstructions because of the cross collection;
  • suitable for all cage types;
  • simple installation and adjustment.

* depending on the system type, the egg belt width and the speed of the longitudinal belt

Curve conveyors

Different farm layouts as well as differences in height often require individual solutions for egg transport. In these cases, curve conveyors are the right choice because they are very flexible and can be adapted to any type of layout.

The core part of each curve conveyor is a galvanised or plastic-coated conveyor chain that consists of two hardened outer chains with welded-on cross bars on the same level. The eggs are thus transferred gently to the chain and do not accumulate along the inner radius of the curve. The distance between the cross bars allows for ascending gradients of up to 20°. Standard bends of 180°, 90° and 45° are available to create curves.

Ultrasound cleaning unit for curve conveyors

Big Dutchman offers two cleaning units, both available as stationary and mobile versions, to clean reliably the entire curve conveyor’s chain from dirt and thus from bacteria, salmonellae and fungi. Both units use ultrasound technology in combination with hot water and a special cleaning agent. The compact cleaning unit can clean up to 200 m of chain before the basin has to be refilled, while the larger unit cleans chain sections of up to 600 m. Depending on the degree of contamination, multiple repetitions may become necessary.

EggScan 120

EggScan 120 has a scanning width of 120 mm (4.7") and is thus ideal for narrow belts. This egg counter can be installed very easily above the longitudinal egg belt in every tier of a cage system, or above the cross belt. It is easy to integrate into the counter network using a “press & ready” plug. The egg numbers are displayed on the ViperTouch controller or on the amacs FarmController.

Digital EggFlow

When using Digital EggFlow, the egg belt speed is controlled so that the egg flow matches the capacity of the grader or packer in an ideal way and across all houses.

Ważne zalety

  • graders and packers are continuously loaded at full capacity for significantly shorter collection times;
  • ideal egg quality thanks to a smooth and gentle transport of the eggs;
  • belts start automatically in the morning and the flow of eggs stops in front of the packer or grader to prevent delays at the beginning of collection;
  • collection groups can be planned one day in advance;
  • egg collection is completed simultaneously in all houses that belong to the same collection group – at maximum filling rates;
  • the eggs from the next collection group are transported to the cross belt subsequently;
  • Digital EggFlow allows the synchronisation of up to ten cross belts for up to four graders/packers;
  • better planning in advance due to higher transparency of the processes at the packer.
