Why Choose VANKE H Type Automatic Layer Battery Cages?


Vanke 's Design

The VANKE H-type battery cage system is engineered with a vertical multi-tier design, providing substantial capacity within a limited building area. Its structure is optimized for modern intensive poultry production.

1. Vertical stacked structure to maximize space utilization, increasing layer population per house by 4–7 times compared to traditional floor systems.
2. High automation compatibility, including automatic feeding, drinking, manure removal, and egg collection, which can reduce labor requirements by 60–75%.
3. Hot-dip galvanized steel frames, resistant to corrosion and wear, with a typical galvanization thickness of 200–450 g/m², ensuring a service life of 20–25 years.
4. Improved ventilation, with each tier receiving consistent airflow of approximately 5–6 m³ per kg of live bird weight per hour, reducing heat stress and respiratory issues.
5. Optimized layer comfort, with smooth wire surfaces, plastic foot grids, and egg-rolling trays to minimize injuries and reduce broken eggs to 0.5–1.5%.
6. Modular engineering, enabling easy installation, maintenance, and expansion of cage rows or tiers.

Maintaining

5 Essential Maintenance Tips For The A Type 3 Tiers 96-Layer Battery Cage System

1. Daily Inspection And Cleaning Of The Automatic Watering System

The cleanliness of the watering system is crucial for disease prevention.
Action: Daily check all nipple drinkers to ensure water flow meets standards: approximately 30-50 ml/minute for chicks and 80-120 ml/minute for layers. Ensure the water pressure remains stable within the range of 15-20 kPa (0.15-0.2 bar). Flush the water lines at least weekly using a suitable disinfectant, such as a 0.5% sodium hypochlorite solution, to prevent biofilm accumulation and maintain water hygiene.
2. Regular Manure Removal And Maintaining Proper Ventilation/Humidity
Hygiene management directly impacts flock health and the prevention of equipment corrosion.
Action: Remove manure daily or every two days. Maintain the optimal relative humidity in the house within the range of 60%-70%. Ensure ammonia concentration remains below 20 ppm (parts per million); this protects the birds' respiratory systems and effectively slows the corrosion rate of the galvanized metal cages, extending equipment life.
3. Inspect The Structural Integrity Of Cage Frames And Metal Components
The structural integrity of the equipment guarantees safety and durability.
Action: Periodically inspect all weld points, connectors, and support structures, especially weight-bearing areas. Promptly tighten any loose bolts or replace damaged components. For minor rust (less than 5% of the total surface area), apply immediate anti-rust treatment using zinc-based coatings for repair. Hot-dip galvanized cages typically have a service life of 15-20 years; correct maintenance ensures this lifespan.
4. Maintenance And Testing Of Automated (Or Semi-Automated) Equipment
Ensure all mechanical components operate efficiently to minimize downtime and failures.
Action: Monthly lubricate all moving parts, such as feed cart wheels and manure belt drive units. Check that electric motors operate within their rated current range (e.g., 220V/50Hz motors typically have a rated power between 0.75kW and 1.5kW) and ensure all electrical wiring insulation is intact.
5. Strict Disinfection Procedures And Thorough House Cleaning
Prevention is better than cure; thorough disinfection breaks disease transmission chains.
Action: Follow the "All In, All Out" principle. After one batch is finished, thoroughly clean and disinfect the house, allowing it to remain vacant and dry for at least 14 days before introducing the next flock. Disinfectants should be used strictly according to instructions; for example, use a 2% sodium hydroxide solution or a 0.3% peracetic acid solution for spraying.
