What Is an Automatic Egg Collection System?
For commercial egg producers, collecting thousands or hundreds of thousands of eggs every day is a major farm management challenge.
Traditional manual egg collection requires:
- Large labor input
- More time consumption
- Higher risk of egg damage
- Difficult quality control
An Automatic Egg Collection System is an automated equipment solution that transports eggs from layer cages to the collection area through conveyor belts and lifting devices.
It helps large-scale poultry farms improve:
- Egg collection efficiency
- Labor utilization
- Egg quality management
- Overall farm automation level
Livi provides customized automatic egg collection solutions integrated with commercial layer cage systems.
Why Do Commercial Layer Farms Need Automatic Egg Collection Systems?
Reduce Labor Requirements
For farms with:
- 20,000 layers
- 50,000 layers
- 100,000+ layers
manual egg collection becomes inefficient.
The automatic egg collection system allows workers to focus on:
- Farm management
- Bird health monitoring
- Production control
Reduce Egg Breakage During Collection
Egg damage directly affects farm profitability.
During transportation, eggs may be damaged due to:
- Improper handling
- Excessive impact
- Unstable transportation
Livi’s system uses:
- Soft egg belts
- Egg lifting devices
- Buffer structures
to reduce collision during transportation.
The system can achieve:
Egg breakage rate ≤0.5%
Improve Egg Farm Automation
A complete layer farm automation system includes:
- Automatic feeding
- Nipple drinking
- Automatic egg collection
- Manure removal
The egg collection system connects the cage system and egg storage area, creating a more efficient production workflow.
How Does Livi Automatic Egg Collection System Work?
Step 1: Egg Transfer from Cage System
After laying eggs, eggs roll onto the egg collection belt installed below the cage.
The egg belt slowly transports eggs toward the collection position.
Step 2: Egg Lifting and Transportation
The motor drives:
- Conveyor belt
- Egg picking claws
- Lifting chains
The egg picking device transfers eggs upward smoothly.
Step 3: Buffer Protection
The buffer device reduces egg rolling speed and impact force.
This helps:
- Reduce broken eggs
- Protect egg quality
Step 4: Central Egg Collection
The transverse egg conveyor transports eggs to:
- Egg storage room
- Egg sorting equipment
- Packaging line
Main Components of Automatic Egg Collection System

- Resistant to bacteria and fungi
- Acid and alkali resistant
- Does not absorb water
- Resistant to humidity changes
- Anti-static and dust resistant
Benefits:
- Keeps eggs cleaner during transportation
- Provides stable egg movement
- Reduces egg damage
2. Egg Picking Device
The egg picking system consists of:
- Multiple egg claw groups
- Lifting chains
- Connecting shafts
- Side protection plates
The structure prevents eggs from falling during transportation.
The drive system provides:
- Stable operation
- Low noise
- Long service life
- Low failure rate
3. Egg Outlet and Buffer Device
The buffer system controls egg movement speed when eggs enter the collection area.
Advantages:
