Automatic Harvesting Broiler Cage System

Automatic Harvesting Broiler Cage System

The Automatic Harvesting Broiler Cage System is engineered for intensive broiler production where efficient bird management, optimized house utilization and reduced manual labor are important operational priorities.

The system combines a multi-tier galvanized steel cage structure with automatic feeding, nipple drinking, manure removal and bird-harvesting equipment. Its pull-out slat floor arrangement is designed to facilitate controlled bird transfer during harvesting, allowing broilers to move from the cage level onto a conveying system and toward a centralized collection area.

The complete installation can be incorporated into steel structure poultry houses and purpose-built livestock buildings. Cage quantity, tier configuration, row arrangement and auxiliary systems can be designed according to building dimensions, production targets, local climate and farm management requirements.

• Multi-tier cage configuration makes efficient use of available poultry house space.
• Automatic feeding system supports consistent feed distribution along the cage rows.
• Automatic nipple drinking system provides a controlled water supply for broilers.
• Manure belts provide efficient collection and removal of manure from cage tiers.
• Pull-out PP slat floor design supports organized broiler harvesting.
• Harvesting conveyors and lifting equipment can transfer birds toward a centralized collection area.
• Galvanized steel construction provides corrosion resistance for demanding livestock environments.
• Designed for intensive commercial use, cleaning and disinfection procedures.
• Can be coordinated with ventilation, cooling, lighting and environmental-control systems.
• System configuration can be customized according to poultry house dimensions and production requirements.

The complete system consists of coordinated structural, feeding, drinking, manure-handling and harvesting components:

• Multi-Tier Cage Frame: Galvanized steel support structure for multiple broiler cage levels.
• Cage Mesh and Front: Enclosed cage components for controlled broiler housing and management.
• Pull-Out Slat Floor: Removable PP slat floor designed to facilitate bird transfer during harvesting.
• Automatic Feeding System: Feed hopper, feed lines, feed pipes, sensors and pan feeders according to configuration.
• Nipple Drinking System: Water lines, nipple drinkers and related water-control components.
• Manure Removal System: Manure belts, rollers, drive units and cross-conveying equipment according to layout.
• Bird Harvesting System: Conveyors, lifting equipment and collection components according to project design.
• Drive and Transmission Components: Motors, shafts, rollers and related mechanical assemblies selected according to system capacity.

During normal production, broilers are housed in multi-tier cage compartments. Feed is delivered through automatic feed lines and pan feeders, while nipple drinking lines provide controlled water distribution. Manure is collected on belts positioned beneath the cage tiers and transferred to the designated removal point.

During harvesting, the pull-out slat floor is operated according to the system design. The birds are transferred from the cage floor onto the harvesting conveyor and moved toward the end of the cage row. A lifting or collection mechanism can then transfer the birds toward a centralized collection area.

The integrated layout helps reduce manual bird handling inside the cage rows and provides a more organized harvesting workflow. The operating sequence can be configured according to cage arrangement, conveyor layout and farm production procedures.

Final dimensions, stocking density, motor specifications, electrical requirements, conveyor capacity and other engineering parameters are confirmed according to the project design.

The Automatic Harvesting Broiler Cage System is suitable for intensive poultry production and livestock engineering projects, including:

• Commercial broiler farms
• Large-scale poultry production complexes
• Integrated poultry farming projects
• New steel structure poultry house construction
• Existing poultry house modernization projects
• High-capacity broiler production facilities
• Turnkey poultry projects managed by EPC contractors and farm engineering companies
• Equipment packages supplied to international poultry distributors and agricultural project contractors

The system can be coordinated with ventilation, evaporative cooling, lighting, climate control, feed storage and other poultry-house infrastructure to create an integrated production environment.

The system can be engineered around the customer's poultry house, production capacity and local operating conditions.

• Tier Number: Customizable according to house height and production requirements.
• Cage Dimensions: According to project requirements.
• Row Layout: Designed according to building dimensions and available floor area.
• Bird Capacity: Calculated according to cage configuration, bird weight and applicable stocking requirements.
• Feeding System: Configurable according to flock size and feed management strategy.
• Drinking System: Configurable according to water quality, pressure and flock requirements.
• Manure Removal: Conveyor arrangement according to building layout.
• Harvesting Arrangement: Conveyor and lifting configuration according to cage rows and collection area.
• Electrical System: According to local voltage, frequency and electrical standards.
• Steel Structure Building: Equipment layout can be coordinated with poultry house structural design.
• OEM and Private Label: Available upon request.

The system is assembled in sections, allowing cage rows, support frames, feeding lines, drinking lines, manure belts and harvesting equipment to be installed progressively according to the approved layout.

1. Confirm the poultry house foundation, floor level, dimensions and equipment positioning before installation.
2. Assemble and align the main cage frames and tier supports.
3. Install cage mesh, fronts and pull-out slat floors according to the assembly drawings.
4. Install feed lines, water lines, manure belts and associated drive components.
5. Install harvesting conveyors and lifting equipment at the designated collection end.
6. Complete electrical wiring and drive-system commissioning.
7. Run an unloaded test and operational test before introducing birds.

Routine maintenance should include inspection of galvanized components, fasteners, conveyor belts, rollers, drive units, feeding equipment, nipple drinkers and harvesting mechanisms. Cleaning and disinfection should follow the farm's biosecurity procedures.

The system is suitable for engineered poultry projects requiring high production capacity and efficient harvesting, including:

• Long-span steel structure broiler houses with multiple cage rows
• High-capacity commercial poultry farms requiring centralized harvesting
• New-build intensive broiler production facilities
• Poultry house expansion projects
• Existing farm modernization projects
• Turnkey livestock projects integrating cages, feeding, drinking, manure handling and environmental-control systems

Project layouts can be developed according to land availability, building dimensions, local climate, ventilation requirements, production capacity and farm management practices.

Q1: What is an automatic harvesting broiler cage system?
It is a multi-tier broiler housing system equipped with automatic feeding, drinking, manure removal and bird-harvesting functions to reduce manual handling and improve production workflow.

Q2: How does the pull-out slat harvesting system work?
During harvesting, the removable slat floor is operated so that broilers can move onto the conveying system below the cage. The birds are then transported toward a centralized collection point.

Q3: Can the cage dimensions be customized?
Yes. Cage dimensions, tier arrangement, row spacing and equipment layout can be designed according to poultry house dimensions and production requirements.

Q4: Can the system be integrated with environmental control equipment?
Yes. The cage system can be coordinated with ventilation, cooling, lighting and climate-control equipment as part of a complete commercial poultry house solution.

Q5: What material is used for the cage structure?
Galvanized steel is used for the main cage structure and supporting components. The final coating specification can be confirmed according to project requirements.

Q6: Can SHEWUYOU provide project-based configurations?
Yes. Equipment layout, cage configuration, feeding, drinking, manure removal and harvesting arrangements can be designed according to the customer's poultry house and production plan.
