Loading Station - Quick and simple loading from battery cages

TRANSFERRAL: The machine can be positioned both inside and outside
and is connected downstream of the poultry shed
conveyor. Once the operator starts the machine the
Loading Station activates the conveyor belts and starts
receiving the animals, which have been transported
from the rearing facility into the poultry shed. Naturally,
and without any mechanical force, the chickens are
then transferred from the battery cages to the central
part of the loading station, where they are accompanied
until they reach the cager conveyor belt.

CAGING: The animals are gently transported to the rear
of the machine. Here, the cager conveyor belt
directly handles depositing the chickens into
the cage. With simple controls, the operator
can raise or lower the belt, or move it closer
or further away. The same controls allow the
operator to move onto the next crate and start
or stop the entire machine and all of its collection
belts. The machine stops loading a module
when the automatic weighing system reaches
the preset value, guaranteeing compliance with
every regulation regarding animal density in cages.

CAROUSEL: The cages are positioned on a carousel, which
allows for a continuous loading process. This
is where the core of the innovative animal weighing
system is located, providing instant verification
that the correct number of animals has
been deposited into each crate. Once a module
is full, it is then ready for collection by the
forklift, which places it on the truck.
