Introduction
The C3 Layer model, initially introduced before the 1970s, exemplifies Facco's commitment to continuous improvement and innovation. The C3 type is optimized for modern poultry production, balancing density and shed volume to meet current dimensional requirements. It is particularly suitable for sheds where manure can be periodically removed, enhancing environmental control and reducing fly populations. Its simple installation and lack of structural constraints make it ideal for refurbishing existing facilities.

Design Features

• Partition Design: Features an upper rounded shape for easier belt sliding and integrated hooks for longitudinal rod support.
• Leg Structure: Galvanized with a "C" shaped section for easy cleaning, supporting up to 15 tiers.
• Transversal Support: Supports the nipple pipe, aligned with the legs to minimize space usage, and is fully washable.
• Sliding Door: Mounted on an independent frame for increased accuracy and reliability.
• Egg Saver Band: Reduces egg micro-breaks and enhances animal welfare.
• Soft Balanced Floor: Composed of wires to reduce breakage and support floor bending, with optional hot-dip galvanization.
• Feed Trough: Integrated with an anti-waste profile and connected to the feed distribution trolley leveling system.

Model Variants
The C3 type is available in two models to cater to diverse needs:

• Basic Model: Lacks in-cage manure drying, typically used with external systems like Facco's MDS.
• Manure Drying Duct Model: Suitable for moderate-length sheds, utilizing full cage depth and ensuring complete cleaning by birds' feet.

Technical Innovations
Facco's production technology enhances floor support, reducing sagging and preventing egg concentration in the cage center. The egg-saving baffle and "hookup" system provide stability and prevent egg damage. The sliding door's special frame ensures proper operation, and various options like anti-Coccidiosis accessories and mechanical egg savers increase versatility.

Structural Enhancements
The cage's four-bend shape offers maximum strength and easy cleaning, aligning with HACCP practices. The manure belt guide and secondary scraper ensure thorough cleaning, while the front head design facilitates maintenance. The manure idling roller prevents dirt accumulation, and the adjustable cage base compensates for floor unevenness.
