Automatic Nest System for Layers: Zinc-Aluminum-Magnesium Nest Boxes for Commercial Egg Farms with Low Breakage Rates

Shandong Huabang Agricultural And Animal Husbandry Machinery Co., Ltd. is a poultry equipment designer since 2012. Our automatic nest system for layers is manufactured from zinc-aluminum-magnesium plate shell, 3mm hot dip galvanised steel frame and 5cm raised center structure to improve air flow. The nest boxes measure 1.2m long and 1.4m wide (1.88m with perch), and are designed for commercial egg farms, holding about 120 hens and limiting egg breakage to 0.3%. The technology is supported by ISO9001 and CE certification and a 1-year guarantee, enabling farms to automate egg collection and cut down on labour time.

What Is This Nest Box?

The products is developed for roll-away egg collection in commercial layer houses. The hens enter the nest at an 8-degree angle and lay their eggs which gently roll down a belt below. Its legs raise the nest 5cm above the floor, allowing air to circulate underneath and keeping bedding drier.

The tilt is kept a constant 8° so the eggs keep travelling toward the belt instead of stopping halfway. This allows for stable, continuous egg conveyance.

The whole apparatus weighs 40kg and is 2m high including perch. Hens have an area where they may rest before coming into the nest, so they are less stressed and lay more consistently.” All boxes are covered by a 1 year guarantee and the back up of our expertise in technical support.

Material and Structural Design

The frame is manufactured from zinc-aluminum-magnesium plate, which is more resistant to manure, moisture and cleaning chemicals than standard galvanised sheet. Under this a 3mm hot-dip galvanised steel frame withstand the pressure, and fights the corrosion in humid chicken homes.

The core structure is raised 5cm above the base, enhancing airflow under the nest body, regulating the ammonia smell and keeping the resting space cooler in hot weather. This tiny lift also makes it easier for your staff to clean the flooring.

Key Features That Set This Nest Box Apart

This nest box is special to the commercial layer home in the following features.

Ultra low egg breakage. An anti-breakage egg rolling mechanism of the buffer type cushions each egg as it goes from the nest to the belt, keeping breakage below 0.3%.

Designed to stop brooding. Nest body automatically lifts at nite with built-in anti-broody lifting mechanism. This prevents chickens sleeping within the nest which keeps eggs clean and reduces faecal contamination on the shell.

Self-adjusting conveyor belt. The rear egg belt has real-time tension adjustment and automated deviation correction. The automatic nest system for layers works for long periods of time without belt slippage or jamming, so staff have less time to spend on manual calibration.

Modular construction, integrated. It incorporates an egg-collecting platform, laying nest, storage box, and transporting tail. It is directly connected with automatic egg collection lines which is suitable for big standardised hen houses and entire project setups.

Less labour, smoother output. Eggs are collected automatically replacing the labour of manual pickers. This decreases labour hours, damage in handling and helps stabilise egg production and quality in commercial laying operations.
