To the product overviewEffective technical accessories
Extensive testing has shown that the special Big Dutchman suspension for cage bottoms makes the floor of the UniVent cage very elastic: eggs roll quickly but smoothly to the egg channel. This reduces the risk of hairline cracks and dirt to a minimum.
EggSaver slows down the eggs when they roll from the cage onto the longitudinal egg belt. To this end, a thin wire is installed parallel to the egg belt. This wire is raised and lowered at certain intervals during the laying period, improving egg quality.
Main advantages
- the proven UniVent system is the perfect basis for profitable, high-quality egg production;
- high functional reliability of all supply and removal systems (feed, water, egg belts, manure);
- stable design;
- trouble-free assembly from three to twelve tiers with catwalks;
- the entire cage front is easily opened thanks to a sliding grid: welfare-friendly moving in and out of the birds;
- OptiCoat protects against corrosion, thus increasing the system’s service life;
- the cage bottoms have a mesh size of 1" x 1.5" and a slope of only 12 % or 7° and rest on tension wires, which ensures excellent egg quality;
- manure belt ventilation (optional) dries the manure optimally, thus keeping ammonia emissions low and producing spreadable and storage-stable dry manure.
