60 x 50 Sheet Layer Cage

Major components of the cage systems consist of galvanised sheets and galvanised wire. Construction of our cages and such galvanised sheets and wires used in the compartments of the cages are ISO 9001-certified and the surface coatings of the sheets and wires used are of high standard.
Cage system has been designed not to be affected by the ground motion. In each construction of the cage system, there is a cage pillar at every 60 cm and large-base shoes placed under such pillars. The system gaining maximum strength in this way may be installed up to 8 tiers without a platform and up to 12 tiers with a platform in a trouble-free manner.

Cage Cells
Cage cells are 60 x 50 cm. Side walls are manufactured of galvanised sheets. Thus, hens independently live in their own cells and do not have any connection with the adjacent cells, thus pecking and startling are prevented and hens are ensured to be calmer. Eggs are ensured to easily reach the egg channel by means of lower wires with proper inclination, thus minimising the percentage of breakage and dirtiness which may occur in eggs.

Feeding System
The feeding system with a feed trolley is fully automated and completely made of galvanised metal sheets.
This is a system with a feed trolley and has been developed in consideration of the adversities in the chain feeding system. In the system with a feed trolley which is much more ideal, the feed is ensured to be dispensed in a sanitary, homogenous, mixed and equal manner thanks to the specially designed feed dispensing apparatus. Thus, feed losses are minimised. Feed is delivered at any desired level through 4 level settings.
Feed is kept in the 6-stand silos with tapered bases situated outside the poultry houses. Feed is automatically delivered to the feed trolleys by means of spirals passing through pipes with a 125 cm diameter which extend from the bottom of the silo to the feed buckets. Once the feed buckets are full, the system is automatically stopped thanks to photocells. Feed buckets flanking the both sides of the row move along the row at preset periodical times and empty the feed into the feeders. 
Feed trolleys move along the rails over the cages by means of 0,75 HP electric motors and imported steel cables. Feeders are specially designed to dispense equal amount of feed to each tier in the hen cage systems and to prevent the feed from overflowing the feeder. Loss of feed is minimised by this system and birds are provided with fresh feed. In addition, the hens are prevented from choosing between feeds, and thus urged to consume the full amount of feed.

Water Drinking System
Watering system contains two nipples made of red plastic and stainless steel material for every two cell on PVC pipe crossing the cage from one end to the other between the cage cells and V-shaped plastic drop catchers underneath the nipples. When the birds touch the metallic part at the tip of the red nipples, water flow is automatically provided. Birds satisfy their thirst in this way. Excess water flowing at the time of touching the nipples falls into the V drop catcher situated underneath the pipe of the water. Thus, the manure belts located under the cage cells are not wetted.
There is one water reservoir at each tier and each row. Water from the water network is delivered to the reservoir under proper pressure and then conveyed to the drinking water pipes.

Manure Removal System
Manure is drawn and cleaned by 1mm thick polypropylene (PP) manure belts by means of 1 HP manure belt movement reducer motors which are available underneath each cage tier and row and which extend along the cage and allow for excellent cleaning of the manure.
This strong and firm structure runs without any problems even in too long poultry houses. The manure conveyed to the horizontal manure discharging conveyor at the end of the poultry house by means of rollers and scrapers available at each tier is transferred to the vertical manure discharging situated outside the poultry house from here. Manure removal conveyors consist of a 5mm thick cord-cloth covered rubber belt operating on a construction made of galvanised metal sheets and fixed tubes, front and rear rollers and a 1.5 HP reducer motor.
The section of the manure belts located behind the poultry house is equipped with a protecting cover in order to prevent the manure from springing out and contaminating the poultry house and to transfer it to the manure conveyor in a smooth manner.

Automatic Egg Collecting System
There is a lift system which reaches every tier by moving up and down.
Automatic egg collecting unit is manufactured of galvanised metal sheets and materials by GÜRES TEKNOLOJİ.
Egg conveyor is also manufactured with a galvanised metal sheet frame by GÜRES TEKNOLOJİ and electrostatic plastic coated and oven-dried and has a chain and bar and a reducer lift mechanism.
Conveyor engine is of 0,75 HP, egg belt conveyor engine of 0,75 HP and lift engine of 0,75 HP power.
Eggs are transferred by imported egg belts and connecting components are made of plastic. Imported egg belts are antistatic and do not gather dust. Egg belts extending and curving along the cages are driven by egg collecting caps. Egg belts and the lower wire are designed to prevent the eggs from colliding.
Thanks to the up and down movement of the lift conveyor mechanism, eggs at each tier are transferred from egg belts to egg handling conveyor. There are plastic transition components at the transit spots in order for the eggs not to be damaged while being transferred from the egg belt to the conveyor. Thus, eggs are collected with minimum energy consumption.
As it is possible to take a 90 degrees plus 90 degrees turn in the system, the eggs are prevented from being broken without any requirement for an interchange and the system may be installed in a manner compatible with egg collecting and grading machines.
There are special brushes installed in order to keep the egg belts clean at the end of each row.

Power Boards

Power board of the feeding system: electrical installation and power board of the feeding system contains the stop switches, control cables and timer at the beginning and the end.

Electrical switches of the manure cleaning system: these are watertight switches that have built-in motor protection systems.

Electrical installation and power board of the automatic egg collecting system: it contains the protection circuits of the motors of the automatic egg collecting system, stop switches which stops the up and down movement of the lift, the control cables and the control board.

Power board of the horizontal and vertical manure removal conveyors: it contains the protection circuits and fuses of the two reducer motors of the horizontal and vertical manure removal conveyors.
