Large collection capacity, high functionality, minimum maintenance requirements 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 a 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...

Lift system Only one egg transfer, little space required in the end set area The lift system collects the eggs per tier and simultaneously from all rows. The main feature of the lift system is that the cross conveyor moves to the individual tiers to collect the eggs. Once it has collected all eggs, the lift moves into its parking position. The lift system is a good and economic solution, especially for small units or individual houses, and when the eggs are not collected per flock. The eggs are transported very gently as only one transfer is involved between the longitudinal belt and the...

For manual egg collection, collection tables are recommended. Table drives, on the other hand, are especially well-suited for...

Flexible and economic egg transport Rod conveyors are often used to connect the nest with the cross collection. They can only be used in a straight line. 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 to prevent even smaller eggs from slipping through, despite possible gradients of up to 25°. Lift systems Only one egg transfer, space-saving solution Lift systems can be used for nests with multiple levels. Eggs are collected simultaneously per level in all rows. The lift system transports...
