Abstract:

     By standardizing cleaning, inspection, and operational management, minimize egg breakage and contamination, enhance egg quality, and extend the lifespan of the egg collection belt system—this is a daily operational standard that every modern poultry farm must implement.

     Key points of this article:

     1.Objective: To avoid layer farm egg damage and contamination, ensuring poultry farm a clean and smooth process for transporting eggs.

     2.Core checkpoints: Vertical egg collection belt, transition board, custodian, egg collecting claws, pressure wheels/power rollers, brushes, and central egg transport belt.

     3.Operating methods: Collecting eggs by building/column/layer separation, manual inspections during early and late laying stages, and timely cleaning of stalled eggs.

    4.Conclusion: A systematic, executable daily checklist is key to reducing poultry farm loss and enhancing quality.

     Daily usage precautions:

     General Principles: Always prioritize 'avoiding egg damage and contamination, and improving egg quality' as the first principle. The entire egg transportation chain must remain clean, unobstructed, and free from stagnant eggs.

     1.Vertical Egg Collection Belt:

• Ensure the egg conveyor belt surface is free of dust, egg liquid, chicken manure, feathers, and other contaminants.
• Conduct visual inspections at least once per shift/round; immediately clean and document any discovered contamination.

     2.Egg Leakage Device and Transition Board, Egg Tray:

• Keep the surface of the transition board and tray free of contamination, smooth, and without cracks, preventing stuck eggs.
• Regularly check fasteners and guiding edges to prevent eggs from being stuck or squeezed.

     3.Contact Surface of Egg Collection Claw and Vertical Egg Collection Conveyor Belt:

• Ensure there are no foreign objects on the surface of the egg collection claw and the egg conveyor belt contact area, allowing for smooth, stable movement.
• Worn or loose egg collection claws should be repaired or replaced promptly.

     4.Central Egg Transmission Transition Board and Egg Conveyor Belt:

• Keep the transition board and egg conveyor belt clean, and check for smooth delivery rhythm and connection.
• If egg collecting belt's inconsistent delivery rhythm or shaking is detected, stop immediately for egg transmission system inspection.

     5.Egg Colletion System Pressure Roller, Power Roller, and Brush:

• Clean these contact areas of feces and dirt to prevent the belt from slipping or shifting.
• Check tension, bearing temperature, and lubrication; address any anomalies promptly.

     6.Egg Collection Strategy (Reduce Collisions):

• Implement strategies of separate buildings, columns, and staggered egg collection to decrease the probability of egg collisions.
• During peak production periods, employ staggered delivery or manual assistance to divert.

     7.Investigation of Stuck Eggs and Unsmooth Transitions:

• Check all transition points for stuck eggs or unsteady transport (especially at angles and gaps).
• Mark commonly occurring stuck egg points and optimize the transition board or guides.

     8.Manual Inspections During Early and Late Egg Laying:

• During the early/late laying period, eggs are more prone to breakage or being soft. Arrange for manual collection of broken/soft eggs in advance to prevent contamination of the conveyor.
• Record and analyze periods with high instances of broken eggs to optimize feeding, ventilation, or egg collection rhythm.

     Common Questions and Quick Troubleshooting:

     1.Problem: Eggs jitter or shift on the egg conveyor belt → Check for foreign objects or damage in the tension wheel, bearings, and idler rollers.

     2.Problem: Egg jams concentrated at a certain transition plate → Check the transition angle and clearance, clear accumulated dirt, and make minor adjustments to the guide.

     3.Problem: Frequent broken or soft eggs → Investigate the nutrition and stress of the flock, adjust the conveyor speed and use staggered egg collection.

     4.Problem: Frequent contamination of the egg collection belt surface → Increase cleaning frequency and investigate the location and cause of broken eggs (equipment/flock).
