Automatic Feeding Line: Smart, Reliable, Scalable Systems

Battery Layer Cage Systems with an Automatic Feeding Line: field notes from modern poultry farms

If you’ve walked a commercial layer house lately, you can feel the tempo: fewer people on the floor, steadier feed delivery, cleaner aisles. To be honest, the quiet efficiency still surprises me. This system, produced in Jinwang Western Street, Industrial Zone, Anping County, Hengshui City, Hebei, China, uses galvanized A-type battery cages and a Automatic Feeding Line designed to keep birds on schedule and feed costs in check.

Industry trends (and why they matter)

Three themes keep coming up in my interviews: biosecurity, labor shortages, and consistency. Automation—especially a robust Automatic Feeding Line paired with clean, anti-corrosive cages—addresses all three. Many customers say the gains are small day-to-day but stack up over a flock cycle: tighter FCR, fewer feed fines, and less bird crowding around troughs. In fact, more integrators now mandate automated feeding in new builds or retrofits.

Product snapshot and specs

The A-type poultry layer cages are built from anti-corrosive galvanized steel with wire partitions—hygienic, durable, and easy to wash down. Below, a realistic spec range from recent installs (real-world use may vary by house layout):

ParameterTypical Value (≈)
Cage type / tiersA-type, 3–5 tiers (custom)
Material & coatingQ235 steel, hot-dip galvanized, Z275–Z350 g/m²
Bird capacity≈ 90–160 birds/set (by tier)
Feeding driveChain/auger Automatic Feeding Line, PLC or timer control
Feed rate≈ 1.2–1.8 t/h; distribution uniformity ±5%
Motor power0.75–1.5 kW (220/380V, 50/60 Hz)
Noise level≤ 70 dB(A)
Service life≈ 10–20 years (environment dependent)
ComplianceISO 1461, ISO 9001, CE; tested to ASTM B117 salt spray

How it’s built and tested

  • Materials: galvanized Q235 steel; wire partitions for airflow and hygiene.
  • Methods: hot-dip galvanizing; precision welding; anti-burr finishing (fewer foot injuries).
  • Testing: salt spray ≥ 72 h (ASTM B117); 24 h continuous run-in of the Automatic Feeding Line; electrical safety per IEC 60204-1.
  • Service checks: feeder chain tension, hopper level sensors, trough cleanliness.

Where it fits

Open, half-open, and closed chicken houses; humid coastal climates (thanks to the galvanization); medium-to-large commercial farms; integrators pushing FCR discipline. Advantages? Less feed waste, cleaner eggs, more predictable shifts—plus fewer labor bottlenecks on tough days.

Customization menu

  • Tier count, aisle width, and trough profile.
  • Feeder type (chain vs. auger), hopper size, and dosing schedule.
  • Sensor kits: low-level alarms, jam detection, VFD speed control.
  • Biosecurity add-ons: wash-down nozzles, drip guards, removable pans.

Field notes (case snapshots)

Case 1 – 60k layers, coastal: Upgraded to 4-tier A-type with Automatic Feeding Line. Reported ≈2.5% feed savings and noticeably cleaner troughs after 90 days; downtime near zero after a brief run-in week.

Case 2 – 25k layers, retrofitted barn: Labor cut by one head per shift; egg hairline cracks down ≈1.1% attributed to steadier bird movement during feeding.

What customers keep telling me

“It’s boring—in a good way.” The system just runs. When issues do pop up, it’s usually a tensioning tweak or a hopper sensor clean. Simple, fast, back to laying.
