Weighing System for Poultry Farming

Tension Weighing Solution for Poultry Farming

In poultry farming, it is crucial to closely monitor and track poultry weight and growth, as both overweight and underweight birds can hinder production and reduce farm profitability.

Traditionally, farmers randomly select and weigh poultry at regular intervals and record the data to attempt to monitor growth. However, this method is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and may not accurately represent the average poultry weight.

With these parameters and considerations, we developed a weighing system that automatically and continuously monitors poultry weight, eliminating the need for manual labor. This allows farmers to precisely control feeding and optimize poultry growth.

Challenge

  1. Poultry is constantly moving. This requires a weighing system with high dynamic precision to accurately measure the birds despite their movement on the scale.
  2. The weighing system is operating at all times. Long-term stability is essential, as it must maintain high accuracy over time, and withstand changes in temperature and humidity. 
  3. The farms have differing layouts and the height of the poultry also changes as they grow. The system’s weighing platform needs to feature adjustable height to accommodate varying bird heights and farm structures.

Solution

  • The weighing system incorporated a multi-joint design with high-precision load cells to accurately weigh poultry even while they are in motion.
  • The load cells have undergone extensive testing, including creep, temperature and humidity, and fatigue tests to ensure consistent accuracy in long-term working conditions.
  • The weighing system integrated a telescopic rod design for farmers to easily adjust the platform height based on their requirements. 
  • Additionally, the load cells can be customized with a safety overload of 400% to 500%, to prevent accidental overloading during routine cleaning.

Featured Products

CHP02
Poultry Scale Assembly
See standard version.

The ANYLOAD CHP02 Poultry Scale Assembly is a hanging scale system purpose-built for live poultry weighing in chicken farm environments. Its space-saving vertical hanging design allows for easy installation in poultry houses without occupying floor space, while the adjustable height range of 2200mm – 3100mm (86.62 to 122 in) accommodates a variety of barn configurations and operator preferences. The assembly delivers instant weight readings as chickens step onto the hexagonal platform, making it practical for high-volume flock monitoring and individual bird weighing in commercial poultry operations.

101NH
S-Beam Load Cell
See standard version.

The 101NH S-beam is an OIML C3/C4.5 and NTEP-approved S-beam suited to a wide variety of applications due to its simplicity, ease of installation, and overall reliability. This IP67 water-resistant S-beam is also interchangeable with Rice Lake RL20000, Revere 363, Coti Global CGSB / CSGB-1, and more
