Egg Collection Systems

Main advantages

• large collection capacity of up to 16,500 eggs per hour and per elevator*;
• easy access to all cage rows; the cross collection is not an obstruction;
• less space required in the end set area;
• suitable for all cage types.

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

Main advantages

• large collection capacity of up to 19,000 eggs per hour and per elevator*;
• simultaneous collection from up to eight tiers;
• no dosing units necessary, i.e. maintenance requirements are at a minimum;
• rod conveyors have a cleaning function so that eggs without shell and dirt do not reach the elevator chain;
• easy access to all cage rows, no obstruction because of the cross collection;
• suitable for all cage types;
• simple assembly and adjustment.

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

Main advantages

• smooth egg transport as there is only one transfer from the longitudinal belt to the cross belt;
• easy access to all rows because the lift system moves into a parking position after egg collection is completed, i.e. the cross collection is no obstruction;
• little space required in the end set area;
• the lift system can be combined with any cross collection of any width.

Main advantages

The core part of each curve conveyor is a galvanized or plastic-coated chain that consists of two hardened outer chains with weld-on cross bars. The cross bars of the standard conveyor chain are all on the same level so that the eggs are transferred to the chain smoothly and do not accumulate along the inner radius of the curve.

The distance between the cross bars allows for an ascending gradient of up to 20°. Standard bends of 180°, 90° and 45° are available to create curves. The conveying capacity is determined by the conveying speed and the effective width of the curve conveyor. When using elevator and lift systems, deflectors reduce this effective width by 100-120 mm in the transfer area.

Main advantages

• the unit can be removed single-handedly, thus facilitating cleaning with a high-pressure cleaner;
• anti-crack fingers provide a light pressure on the eggs, which ensures a controlled transfer to the cross belt;
• tension-adjustable wire threads guarantee a smooth transfer of the eggs while simultaneously allowing feathers, dust and eggs without shell to fall down between the threads.

Main advantages

 Vertical conveyors are powered by a separate drive unit for a more flexible collection speed. We recommend frequency-regulating the longitudinal egg belt (optional).

Main advantages

The rods are made of small, stabilised plastic tubes that are connected by a roller chain on both ends. The distance between the rods is small enough that even smaller eggs cannot fall through, despite possible gradients of up to 25°.

Main advantages

The lift system is an egg collection unit specially designed for gentle egg transport as there is only one transfer point. The production system is fully accessible because once all eggs have been collected, the lift moves into its parking position which can be at a height of more than 2 m.

Another advantage is that the lift requires only little space in the end set area. Lifts can automatically collect eggs mislaid in the system, so-called “system eggs”. For increased hygiene, the lift should be installed in the service room.

Main advantages

Especially in multi-level houses (up to three levels), the elevator may be equipped with an extra wide elevator chain and is thus an efficient egg collection system: it does not require much space and collects up to 15,000 eggs per hour.

A new feature is the option for “system egg collection”: the elevator can simultaneously collect eggs mislaid in the system. All belts either run into the elevator in parallel or system eggs are collected separately.

Main advantages

• ideally suited for the manual collection  of eggs;
• standard drive speed: 2.6 m/min, optionally VarioSpeed;
• available for different egg belt widths (2 x 200, 245, 400 and 500 mm);
• an integrated egg belt brush keeps the egg belts clean;
• robust and completely galvanized design for a long service life.

Main advantages

Both units use the 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.

Main advantages

• accurate recording of all eggs;
• EggCam also works reliably in the dark  due to infrared light;
• the operator can easily retrieve and analyse the data of all installed EggCams in real time when using the amacs management system.

Main advantages

• graders and packers are continuously loaded at full capacity;
• ideal egg quality thanks to a smooth and gentle transport of the eggs (option);
• automatic start of the belts in the morning; the egg flow stops directly at the packer;
• 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;
• Digital EggFlow allows synchronising up to five cross belts for up to four packers/graders.
