The Sanovo HatchPerformance Line is an egg handling solution specifically for fertile, vulnerable eggs. These types of eggs require sensitive, careful handling in an automated way to maximize production efficiency. Pre-sorting, gentle transfer into setter trays, and automatic loading into a trolley – ready for transport. The line consists of three core modules that can be supplemented with several options. The core modules are an electronic egg grader, an egg packer and a trolley loader, which together form the base for high quality egg supply and by that maximizing hatchability rates.
Coming in from the hen houses, the eggs enter the electronic grader module, sorting out very large and small eggs for separate packing, right before the regular-sized eggs enter the egg packer. Here the eggs are gently conveyed towards the transfer head, which positions the eggs into the setter trays. This is where the automatic trolley loader comes in. Full setter trays are placed into the trolley until filled up and ready for transport to the hatchery station for incubation. With the full system, breeder farmers prevent physical contact with the fertilized eggs and decrease the risk of contamination causing harm to the embryo or even infecting other eggs, which is increasing our customers supplied egg quality to the hatchery overall.
