Traditional woven egg belts and perforated egg belts are the two main types used in layer farms. Woven egg conveyor belts serve cage systems for commercial layers, while perforated egg conveyor belts work in floor/nest box systems for breeders. 

The Two Essential Egg Belt Categories

Type 1: Traditional Woven Egg Belts

Primary Use: Cage Housing Systems

• High-tensile polypropylene fiber construction
• White base material with colored identification stripes (red, yellow, blue, green)
• Smooth woven surface for continuous egg flow
• Designed for commercial layer operations

Type 2: Perforated Egg Belts

Primary Use: Poultry Floor/Nest Box Systems

• High-strength polypropylene with precision-punched holes
• Individual egg separation compartments
• Hollow center design prevents egg contact
• Specialized for breeder chicken operations

How Each Egg Belts Type Functions in Different Poultry Systems

1.Traditional Woven Egg Belts in Cage Systems

Operation Flow:

1. Eggs slide from cages into collection troughs onto belts
2. Longitudinal belts carry eggs to vertical elevators
3. Elevators lower eggs to main horizontal conveyor
4. Cross-conveyor transports to collection platform or packaging room
5. Workers sort eggs into cartons or processing

2.Perforated Egg Belts in Floor Systems

Operation Process:

1. Hens lay eggs in nest boxes with 7-9° sloped bottoms
2. Eggs roll onto perforated collection belts
3. Upper tier belts feed directly to collection platform
4. Lower tier belts use inclined conveyors to reach platform
5. Belt speed: 2-3 meters per minute for gentle handling

Traditional Woven Egg Belts

✅ Key Strengths

• Proven performance in high-volume cage operations
• Cost-effective solution for commercial layer farms
• Seamless integration with multi-tier cage systems
• Handles continuous egg flow efficiently
• Colored stripe identification aids system management

⚠️ Limitations

• Surface contact can transfer contaminants between eggs
• Not optimal for dust-sensitive environments
• Limited egg separation capabilities

Perforated Egg Belts

✅ Key Strengths

• Individual egg compartments prevent collision damage
• Reduced dust accumulation maintains cleanliness
• Ideal for antibiotic-free facility requirements
• Gentle handling preserves shell integrity
• Self-cleaning design through perforation drainage

⚠️ Limitations

• Higher initial investment than woven alternatives
• Primarily designed for nest box collection systems
• May require conveyor modifications for installation

Summary

     Traditional woven egg collection belts excel in cage systems where high-volume, continuous collection from multiple tiers is essential. Their proven reliability and cost-effectiveness make them ideal for commercial layer operations.

     Perforated egg collection belts provide superior performance in floor systems where individual egg handling and enhanced cleanliness are priorities. They're specifically designed for breeder operations and premium production environments.
