Egg handling

Take care of the precious egg

Egg handling is all about how you handle the precious egg; from the moment it is laid in the nest, its way to the egg collection room to how you pack the egg. It all has to be done with the greatest care.

Uniformity is the key

Accurate grading of hatching based on weight? It's possible! As an operator, you can easily create up to four classes of eggs and optimize the setters for maximum efficiency. Quality inspection even becomes an easy task due to rollers facilitating egg movement through the handling system.

Automation is of this era

A fully automated egg handling system delivers faster and consistent quality output from transport tray to setter tray. Optimal effectiveness, high hatchability rates and efficient in-ovo vaccination can be achieved by accurate point down setting.

Grading of eggs

From egg collector to process operator

Objective and consistent grading and sorting of eggs is the key - this can be done by a fully automated process which reduces dependency on labour at the same time. Based on pre-defined indicators, each egg will be automatically directed to the set exit points. Scanned from multiple angles to record external characteristics, eggs will move through the automated grading.

Stories from the field

The ones who can tell best how the climate systems work, are the farmers who work with it on a daily basis.

Customer story_Hoste_Vencomatic Group

Ambitious young poultry farmer puts maximum effort into modernisation

Since last year, Koen and Annelies' poultry farm has also had the Meggsius Select, which automatically selects second choice eggs by taking 8 individual images of each egg. Moreover, these images, combined with the other insights generated from Meggsius Count & Control, provide even more valuable data. 

'If we see in the data that fewer eggs are being laid in a certain part of the house, we investigate what we can do about it, such as adjusting the ventilation. Thanks to the data, we have better insight into this. We quickly see what we can improve'
