Automatic Egg Collection System for Efficient Poultry Farming

2025-12-29

In modern poultry operations, collecting eggs quickly, gently, and hygienically is essential to ensuring product quality and reducing labor costs. Big Herdsman’s Automatic Egg Collection System offers a robust, fully integrated solution tailored for both small- and large-scale layer farms, ensuring high efficiency, reliability, and minimal egg breakage.

Integrated Design, Seamless Operation

Our system adopts modular egg collection units that can be installed alongside layer cages, broiler breeder cages, and floor systems. Whether it’s a centralized or tiered layout, the equipment is engineered to collect, convey, and centralize eggs with minimal human intervention.

The core components include:

Egg Collector with Transfer Belts

Central Collection Table

Lifting Units for Multi-Tier Cages

Rubber Coated Rollers to Minimize Egg Cracks

Gentle Transfer System with Anti-Breakage Features

Each egg travels gently along plastic-coated or rubber rollers, effectively reducing impact during movement. The system can operate automatically via timing or sensor detection, enhancing overall workflow.

Durable Structure and Food-Grade Materials

Constructed from hot-dip galvanized steel and high-durability anti-corrosion coatings, the egg collector is designed for longevity in harsh poultry house environments. All conveyors and belts are made with food-grade polypropylene or polyurethane materials, ensuring compliance with hygiene regulations.

Highly Customizable Automation Levels

Our egg collection system supports:

Manual, semi-auto, or full-auto control modes

Centralized egg collection from multiple cage rows

Adjustable egg belt width (e.g., 350mm–550mm)

Multi-tier lifting mechanisms (up to 4–6 levels)

It is compatible with automatic egg counting, grading, and packaging systems, making it an ideal component of a fully automated layer poultry farm.
