Choose egg collection belts based on three factors: farm size (basic egg belts for smaller operations, perforated polyester egg belt for large farms), material durability (polypropylene for easy cleaning, polyester for strength), and environmental conditions (UV resistance for outdoor exposure).

Key Selection Factors

Layer Farm Size and Scale

Small to Medium Farms (under 50,000 birds)

• PP5 polypropylene belts with textured surface
• Width range: 50-100mm
• Lower initial investment
• Easy maintenance and replacement

Large Commercial Operations (50,000+ birds)

• Perforated polyester fiber belts
• Strategic hole design prevents egg collision
• Reduced breakage from 5-8% to 2-3%
• Higher throughput capacity

Material Comparison

Essential Features to Consider

Material Properties

• Tensile strength: High for heavy egg loads
• UV resistance: Critical for outdoor or skylight exposure
• Food-grade certification: Ensures safety compliance
• Anti-static treatment: Reduces dust attraction
• Chemical resistance: Withstands cleaning solutions

Performance Benefits by Egg Belts Type

Basic Polypropylene Egg Belts

Advantages:

• Excellent bacteria and fungus resistance
• Naturally repels salmonella growth
• Easy cold-water cleaning without chemicals
• Weather and temperature resistant
• Non-absorbent for quick drying

Limitations:

• Shorter lifespan than polyester options
• Less suitable for high-volume operations
• Limited UV protection compared to treated alternatives

Perforated Polyester Egg Belts

Advantages:

• 60% reduction in egg breakage
• Self-cleaning perforation design
• 3-5 year operational lifespan
• Enhanced UV protection (brown coloring)
• Reduced salmonella contamination risk

Limitations:

• Higher upfront investment
• Requires proper tensioning for optimal performance
• May need cage system modifications

Our Selection Experience

After 16 years manufacturing both egg collection belts types at Guangzhou Zhongshen Ribbon Product Co., Ltd, we've seen consistent patterns in successful installations:

Small operations (under 20,000 birds) typically benefit most from basic pp egg belts due to lower maintenance complexity and initial investment.

Medium operations (20,000-80,000 birds) often choose based on growth plans - pp egg collection belts for stable operations, perforated polyester egg collection belts for expansion scenarios.

Large operations (80,000+ birds) consistently select perforated polyester egg conveyor belts for the measurable breakage reduction and labor savings.

Bottom Line Selection Guide

Choose Basic PP Egg Belts if:

• Operating small to medium farm
• Priority on easy maintenance
• Limited initial budget
• Climate-controlled environment

Choose perforated polyester Egg Belts if:

• Operating large commercial facility
• High breakage rates currently
• Available budget for efficiency improvements
• Outdoor or UV-exposed installations
