Egg Counters

The best mechanisms to track the egg count

Our articulately built egg counters are laden with technological upgradations to deliver best results when put to test. Big Dutchman’s egg counting system consists of three major mechanisms, EggCam, IR4, and EMEC, offering the following benefits:

  • Accurate egg counting
  • Use of advanced technology
  • Round the clock monitoring
  • Easy to use and operate
  • Simple to store and access data

EggCam

Accurate counting system

EggCam uses a camera technology combined with image processing, which is integrated in the sensor. The camera helps in the high-resolution monitoring of each egg closely that passes through the conveying path. It can either be installed at the cross belt or the longitudinal egg belt in each tier.

Advantages

  • Can work in the dark
  • The count data is easy to access and analyse
  • Offers accurate monitoring of eggs

Technical

  • In cage systems, the camera work efficiently on up to 14 cm wide fabric or rod belts
  • In floor production, it can work on up to 35 cm wide rod conveyors

IR4

Counting eggs with precision

IR4 is an egg counting mechanism that uses an infrared transmitter and receiver to register the eggs passing below the counter. It is a highly accurate system that ensure no egg is missed and the final count matches the real availability of eggs.

Advantages

  • Easy to assemble and clean
  • Requires less space
  • Ensures there’s no egg jam and breaking of eggs by not separating eggs

Technical

  • A bracket is used to mount the egg counter to the longitudinal belts of EU and KV systems
  • The system is most suitable for E95 and E115 connection channels

EMEC

Makes counting effortless

A carefully developed egg counting mechanism, EMEC counts eggs on a conveyor belt in combination with an egg-counter computer.

Advantages

  • Offers accurate side-by-side counting
  • It is 99.5% accurate
  • Easy to install and manage

Technical

  • Infrared light is used to detect eggs on the conveyor
  • An electronic pulse is generated for every detected egg
  • The information is sent through a CAN-bus
