Full Hatchery

Ceva Ecat-iD Campus offers a range of equipment suitable for avian hatcheries including those processing ducks, hens, pheasants and turkeys. Our smart engineered solutions are suited to small, medium and large-scale hatcheries, which can be designed to fit within new or existing buildings.

With unparalleled technical expertise, our avian technology engineers are able to resolve even the most complex hatchery challenges. Our global network of field agents is able to work closely with customers at every stage of the project - from initial development through to aftersales support. Our goal is to help our customers to maximize throughput by designing a hatchery which works for them.

Through careful analysis of existing or future hatchery flows, processes and needs, our engineers design a system that streamlines and enhances the hatchery business, offering a clear, competitive advantage.

Egg Processing Room

The egg processing room is the first area in the hatchery where eggs need to be processed, graded, classified and stored before they go to the incubation room.
Ecat-iD technologies in the egg processing room are designed to minimize the impact of human error during this process and to maximize the processing speed.

Transfer Room

After 18 days of incubation, eggs are transferred from the incubators to the hatchers. This process is a critical step, and it happens at the transfer room.
Ceva Ecat-iD has designed innovative and unique equipment to operate in the transfer room such as the Egginject® In Ovo vaccination, Laser Life® candling system and additional automation.

Chick Processing Room

From the time chicks leave their incubators to being transported away from the hatchery, they need to be cleanly separated from their shells, accurately counted, sexed and carefully placed in their stacker trays in a fast, stress-free process. Ceva works tirelessly to ensure that all its equipment works together efficiently and effectively, reducing the amount of manual handling that can cause injury.

Washing And Waste Management

Our reliable hygiene and washing equipment for trays and boxes provides peace of mind time after time.

Our commitment to hygiene is evident in every piece of technology we produce, with all parts designed to maximise water run-off and aid the cleaning process.

Optimized Egg Processing

In the egg processing room, our advanced technologies ensure that eggs are processed, graded, classified, and stored with minimal human error and maximum speed. This initial stage is crucial for setting the foundation for successful incubation. Our equipment is meticulously designed to handle this process with precision and efficiency, ensuring that each egg is treated with care. By minimizing human error and maximizing processing speed, we set the stage for optimal incubation conditions, which are essential for achieving high hatch rates and healthy chicks.

Efficient Transfer Room Operations

The transfer room is a critical step in the hatchery process, where eggs are moved from incubators to hatchers after 18 days of incubation. Ceva Ecat-iD's innovative equipment, including the Egginject® In Ovo vaccination system and the Laser Life® candling system, ensures that this transfer is handled efficiently and with care. The Egginject® system provides precise in ovo vaccination, reducing the need for post-hatch handling and improving chick health. The Laser Life® candling system accurately identifies viable eggs, enhancing hatchability and overall performance. These technologies work together to streamline the transfer process, ensuring that eggs are moved safely and efficiently, which is vital for maintaining high hatch rates and chick quality.

Streamlined Chick Processing

Our chick processing solutions are designed to ensure that chicks are separated from their shells, counted, sexed, and placed in stacker trays quickly and without stress. This reduces manual handling and minimizes the risk of injury, ensuring the well-being of the chicks while maintaining high standards of efficiency and accuracy. By automating these processes, we reduce the potential for human error and stress on the chicks, which can negatively impact their health and growth. Our equipment is designed to handle large volumes of chicks quickly and accurately, ensuring that each chick is processed with care and precision.

Reliable Hygiene and Waste Management

Maintaining high standards of cleanliness and biosecurity is crucial in hatchery operations. Our reliable hygiene and washing equipment for trays and boxes are designed to ensure thorough cleaning and efficient waste management. Each piece of technology is crafted to maximize water run-off and facilitate the cleaning process, providing peace of mind and ensuring the health of the chicks. Effective waste management and hygiene practices are essential for preventing the spread of disease and maintaining a healthy environment for the chicks. Our equipment is designed to meet the highest standards of cleanliness, ensuring that every aspect of the hatchery operation is conducted with the utmost care and attention to detail.

By integrating these advanced hatchery solutions, producers can optimize their operations, improve chick health and performance, and achieve higher levels of efficiency and productivity. Our technologies are designed to support every stage of the hatchery process, from egg processing to chick handling, ensuring that each step is conducted with precision and care.
