Product Details

Product Name: H-Frame Layer Battery Cage System

I. Product Overview

The Automated H-Frame Layer Battery Cage System is a sophisticated, modular infrastructure designed for large-scale commercial egg production. Engineered with a robust stacked structure, it allows for high rearing density while significantly saving floor space. The system integrates automated feeding, drinking, egg collection, manure removal, lighting, and intelligent environmental control into a single synchronized unit. Its modular design not only ensures structural stability across multiple tiers (typically 3 to 12 tiers) but also makes installation and maintenance exceptionally convenient. This system represents the transition of traditional poultry farming into a high-tech, IoT-enabled factory model, meeting the highest global standards for animal health and production performance.

II. Functions & Workflow

This system provides a fully integrated operational logic to manage the entire egg production cycle with minimal human intervention. The workflow begins with the automated feeding system, available in both chain and trolley hopper options, which delivers precisely measured feed through V-shaped rolled troughs to prevent waste and improve feed conversion rates. For hydration, a front-end filtration system ensures clean water is delivered to two drinking nipples per cage. As eggs are laid, the reasonable angle of the bottom net ensures they roll gently onto the egg belt, where soft-touch collection fingers transport them via a central lifter to the packing area, maintaining an industry-low breakage rate. Simultaneously, the manure removal system utilizes high-strength belts to clear waste regularly, while the intelligent IoT modules monitor and adjust temperature, humidity, and negative pressure in real-time to ensure optimal laying conditions.

1. High-Efficiency Automated Egg Collection System

Our egg collection solution is designed for high-volume operations, emphasizing gentle handling and maximum throughput. The system achieves a remarkable collection capacity of up to 65,000 eggs per hour with an operational speed of 6.5 meters per minute, ensuring that production meets industrial demands while maintaining an industry-leading low breakage rate.

a. Integrated Indoor Collection Units

Located at the terminal of each cage row, these automated lifters utilize soft-touch collection fingers to safely retrieve eggs from every tier (up to 16 levels). The vertical synchronization ensures that eggs are gathered efficiently from different heights and transferred to the main line without impact, significantly reducing manual labor and protecting eggshell integrity.

b. Centralized Cross-Conveyor System 

The cross-conveyor acts as the facility’s logistics highway, transporting eggs from multiple poultry houses directly to the grading and packing center. Its flexible design allows for curves and inclines, adapting to complex farm layouts. Featuring self-cleaning surfaces and precision-timed movement, the conveyor minimizes friction and prevents egg accumulation, ensuring a continuous, smooth flow from the nest to the final package.

III. Materials & Build Quality

To withstand the highly corrosive atmosphere of an industrial layer house, the system utilizes cutting-edge materials. The main frame is constructed from Zinc-Aluminum-Magnesium sheets, providing superior corrosion resistance compared to standard galvanized steel. The wire mesh is welded with specialized Aluminum-Zinc coated wire, offering a corrosion resistance 3 to 4 times higher than traditional hot-dip galvanized wire, significantly extending the equipment’s service life. Feed troughs are made of high-strength, mold-resistant materials with a V-shaped design to enhance structural rigidity. Additionally, sliding cage doors utilize durable plastic limiters for smooth operation and to prevent bird escape. Every component is designed to endure rigorous sanitation protocols and high-pressure washing without compromising structural integrity.

Dimensional Specifications & Structural Logic

Our system offers two standardized configurations: the Standard Chain Cage and the Standard Trolley Hopper Cage. While both models maintain a consistent internal cage width of 1250mm (L2), the total system width (L1) is precision-engineered at 1590mm and 1630mm respectively to accommodate different feeding mechanical structures. With a flexible tier height of up to 700mm, the design ensures superior vertical airflow, which is critical for maintaining a stable micro-climate in high-density environments.

V. Capacity & Performance

The H-Frame Layer System is engineered for high-performance industrial output, capable of supporting tens of thousands of birds with just one operator per house. Its automated egg collection system is optimized for stability and a low breakage rate, ensuring maximum marketable yield. The intelligent environment control system significantly reduces mortality rates by maintaining a consistent living environment, which in turn enhances the laying rate and overall feed conversion efficiency. The system is built for 24/7 continuous operation, providing exceptional reliability and a long service life of 15-20 years under proper maintenance, even in high-intensity production environments.

High-Density Rearing & Welfare Standards

By utilizing a unit depth of 625mm and a width of 650mm, our system provides a generous bottom mesh area of 4062.5 sqcm per unit. This allows for a high-capacity stocking of 9 to 10 birds per cage while strictly adhering to international animal welfare guidelines, providing 406 to 450 sqcm of space per bird. This scientific balance between density and living space directly contributes to a stable laying rate and a significant reduction in bird stress-related mortality.

Technical Highlights from the Engineering Data

Vertical Space: Tier heights of 640mm or 700mm provide ample headspace for birds to move naturally.

Operational Access: A door height (H1) of 230mm ensures easy access for daily inspection and efficient bird catching.

Waste Management: The cage width is optimized to ensure manure falls directly and cleanly onto the PP belts, maintaining superior hygiene levels.

VI. Application Scenarios

This system is the primary choice for large-scale modern egg production enterprises and integrated industrial farms seeking maximum profitability and land efficiency. It is specifically designed for high-rise, climate-controlled closed houses where biosecurity and consistent egg quality are paramount. The flexible configuration (3-12 tiers) allows it to be adapted to various building heights and capacities. It is the ideal infrastructure for enterprises aiming to achieve international food safety certifications, providing a clean, traceable, and highly efficient environment for producing premium commercial eggs.
