NE and GROWING j TTensHev QnQ equipment go. See How It Really Measures Up To The Original, Big Dutchman Couple the Big Dutchman cages with a Hershey-designed building and equipment installation and you have an unbeatable combination for service and efficiency. A Hershey system is better ventilated, and has been proven to use less electricity. IS BETTER? CAGE DOORS... Our sliding door is easy for the operator to open and close, but impossible for a bird to open. Once closed, the door stays closed. ALIGNMENT... Our rows stay aligned, enhancing top performance from the feeders and egg collectors. A PROPER FIT... Our feed trough fits snugly on the cage. This provides strength, and pro tects eggs as they move to the egg belt. The straight inner side of the trough also acts as a manure shield. RSH€V EQUIPMENT CO. atisfaction Personally” HIVE, LANCASTER, PA 17603 (717) 393-5807 CAGE PROFILE A Hershey building includes more lumber and heavier metal in Rs construction, and therefore is stronger by design. And, there is a real bonus in it, because a Hershey built system provides a bigger per centage of larger eggs for a longer period of time. 82-1/2" WHOSE COLLECTOR IS BETTER? FINGERBELT TRANSFER... The Big Dutchman fingerbelt collector utilizes a series of rubber fingers mounted in a durable belt to hold eggs in a safe position on the incline, going down from cage belts to cross-conveyor. DUAL DRIVE... Each collector has two drive motors, one for each side. This provides better control with fewer moving parts. Shafts and bearings are all heavy duty material. PROVEN ROD CONVEYOR... The rod conveyor moves eggs from the collector to the packer with no rolling or colliding. It can move up and down inclines, and is ideal for moving eggs between several houses and the packing room in multi-building farms. QUALITY EGG BELT... We offer our standard 3% inch woven fabric belts. A shallow “V” shape in the wire egg tray keeps eggs in the center. UNIQUE DESIGN... The Big Dutchman collector does not pro trude or hang over the cross conveyor. The full width of the conveyor is used to handle more eggs with less contact between / eggs. Dirt, feathers and soft-shells drop through the rod conveyor and are not carried to the packer.
