Project Engineering Background & Verified Regional Location
This commercial poultry project is situated in Pretoria / Gauteng Province, South Africa (South Africa's Commercial Egg Capital). Designed and manufactured by Zhengzhou Shuohui Husbandry Equipment Co., Ltd. (originally founded in 2005 as Xingyang Jianghai Machinery Factory), this turnkey installation accommodates 100,352 Commercial Laying Hens in a Single High-Density Modern House. All equipment engineering strictly follows factory structural standards, utilizing heavy Q235B cold-drawn steel wire treated with certified hot-dip galvanization (minimum 275 g/m² zinc coating mass) to ensure an operational service life of 15 to 20+ years.
"With industrial land expensive near Pretoria, Shuohui’s 8-tier catwalk system allowed us to house 100,000 hens on a 15m × 130m footprint. Structural catwalks are solid, ventilation is uniform from bottom to top, and daily operations are seamless."System Specifications & Factory Equipment Bill of Quantities (BOQ)
Shuohui's engineering department developed a customized CAD building floorplan tailored to the 15.0m (W) × 130.0m (L) × 8.0m (H) — Net cage line 118m + 12m front/rear equipment buffer. Key technical parameters and factory bill of quantities include:
- Cage System & Model: 8-Tier H-Type Vertical Battery Cage with Dual Galvanized Catwalk Walkways (HFCD401A)
- Cell Dimensions & Stocking Density: 1200mm (L) × 1200mm (D) × 8 tiers. 256 birds per 8-tier set
- Shed Building Geometry & Clear Height: 15.0m (W) × 130.0m (L) × 8.0m (H) — Net cage line 118m + 12m front/rear equipment buffer. Required building clear height: 8.0m shed clear height (strictly adhering to 8-tier benchmark: 6.4m + 1.2m).
- Cage Rows & Unit Allocation: 4 cage rows × 98 sets per row = 392 sets × 256 birds = 100,352 birds
- Manure Removal & Egg Conveyor Systems: Continuous multi-tier PP manure belts (2.2kW @ 1.1m/min, Φ150mm drum) + longitudinal woven egg belts (1.5kW @ 1.7m/min) + vertical multi-tier egg elevator tower direct to grading room
- Automated Feeding & Watering: Heavy-duty travelling feed hoppers (0.75kW @ 6m/min), silo cross auger (1.5kW). Drinking lines equipped with 360° cone valve stainless steel nipples, dedicated pressure regulators, and medicators.
Climate Control & Biosecurity Engineering
To protect flock health and maintain peak feed conversion efficiency under local climatic conditions, the installation integrates an intelligent environmental controller (such as our iEC1680 system with real-time 3D house monitoring). Negative pressure tunnel ventilation maintains static pressure at a stable 20 to 25 Pa, drawing air across 150mm thick high-efficiency evaporative cooling pads to achieve a wind-chill velocity of 2.2 to 2.6 m/s at bird level. This guarantees zero thermal dead spots across all cage tiers while keeping in-house ammonia concentrations strictly under 10 ppm.
