Egg collection systems Flexible, efficient and gentle on the eggs

Egg collection systems that are safe and efficient 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...

Lift systemOnly one egg transfer Vertical conveyors are mainly used when nests are arranged in an offset layout, for example with Big Dutchman's NATURA Nova aviaries, when there is little space between the nests and the cross collection system, or when obstacles need to be circumvented. They operate at ascending or descending gradients of 50° and are available in two widths: 350 mm and 500 mm. Vertical conveyors are powered by a separate drive unit for a more flexible collection speed. Big Dutchman recommends frequency-regulating the longitudinal egg belts (optional). EC elevatorSpace-saving...

The table drive for gentle egg collection EggSort ensures maximum smoothness during egg transport because there are virtually no transfer points. The longitudinal egg belt runs over the table, which means that no additional drive units are needed. ✔ 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 mm, 245 mm, 350 mm, 400 mm and 500 mm); ✔ integrated egg belt brush for clean egg belts; ✔ robust and fully galvanised design. Simple manual collection tables (without drive) are mainly used...

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 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...

CROSS COLLECTION SYSTEMS FOR BARN EGG AND CAGE PRODUCTION Curve conveyors Custom-made egg cross transport 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...

EggScan 120 and EggCam 3D High counting accuracy, simple installation Do you still count the eggs you produce manually? Then you know how time-consuming and also how inaccurate this process can be. With the EggScan 120 and EggCam 3D egg counting systems, this task is a thing of the past. Big Dutchman offers two innovative solutions which count your eggs fully automatically. Your ViperTouch or amacs controller transmit the counted data to the cloud-based manage ment system, BFN Fusion. You can then view your egg numbers in tables or dia- grams on the PC, smartphone or tablet, analyse them and...

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. Digital EggFlow offers the following advantages: ✓ 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;...
