CHICKEN LOADERS : Apollo Generation 2B

Load Quality,the New Frontier. With blown air system.

Load Quality
Lower belts Speed. Wider belts. Smoother conveyoing. Gentle placement of the birds inside the containers. All resulted in better load quality with no compromises on loading speed.
Full focus on animal welfare

Birds are loaded in a natural, stress-free manner, gently deposited into the drawers, with no direct contact from operators.
Addresses biosecurity issues

The design has been optimized according to EHEDG (the European Hygienic Engineering and Design Group) guidelines. All components that come into contact with the birds are made out of either stainless steel or galvanized metal. Cages never come into contact with the litter.
Loading Speed

From 8,000 to 12,000 animals per hour, or approximately 35,000-57,000 lb per hour.
Better working conditions for employees

Easy to maneuver. Significant reduction in physical labour.
Easy to clean

Specifically designed to facilitate easy, quick and effective daily cleaning with only water and disinfectant with no compromises on biosecurity.
Easy to use & Reduced Labor Cost

Requires only 3-4 operators.Simple controls. Stable rubber tracks.Automatically loads birds to operator’s preset weight limit.
Flexibility

Loads any type of cage available in the US market.
Durability & Reliability

Designed on the field experience of more than 10Million working hours gained all-over the world
Straightforward maintenance

Clear and simple user manual, with explicit maintenance program outlined. Manual includes specific component breakdowns with diagrams of all parts. Easy access to core parts of the machine.

All the answers for your questions.
