Mesh cage FL series

Overview
Foodline multi-tier layer cage systems for poultry production designed to maximize laying density and support automated farm operations. Models are suitable for small to industrial poultry houses and available in H-Type (multi-layer stacked) and A-Type configurations.

H-Type Layer Battery Cage – Key models and dimensions

• FL-H35L (Hot sale): Overall size 2.15 x 1.2 x 1.8 m; Nests per strip 5; Total nests 30; Nest size 0.43 x 0.38 x 0.38 x 0.33 m; Birds per nest 5; Capacity per set 120 birds.
• FL-H45L (Hot sale): Overall size 2.15 x 1.2 x 2.07 m; Nests per strip 5; Total nests 40; Nest size 0.43 x 0.38 x 0.38 x 0.33 m; Birds per nest 5; Capacity per set 160 birds.

H-Type material and surface treatment

• Material: Mild steel Q235.
• Surface treatments: Electro-galvanized (zinc coating ≤ 8 g/m2) — estimated service life 7–10 years; Hot-dip galvanized (zinc coating ≤ 275 g/m2) — estimated service life 15–20 years. Service life depends on environmental conditions.

Equipment Features

• Multi-tier stacked design meets laying hens' behavioral needs while increasing space efficiency.
• Option for hot-dip galvanization provides enhanced corrosion resistance for longer service life.
• Supports automated systems for feeding, drinking, manure removal, and egg collection to reduce labor.
• High-density arrangement reduces land footprint and capital cost per bird.
• Compatible with enclosed houses and climate control systems to support flock welfare.

A-Type material and surface treatment

• Material: Mild steel Q235.
• Surface treatments: Electro-galvanized (zinc coating ≤ 8 g/m2) — estimated service life 7–10 years; Hot-dip galvanized (zinc coating ≤ 275 g/m2) — estimated service life 15–20 years. Service life depends on environmental conditions.

Advantages of battery cage systems

• Economical design lowers construction and labor costs.
• Long service life when appropriate surface treatment is selected and environment is suitable.
• Higher stocking density per unit area compared with floor systems.
• Simplified delivery, installation, and maintenance.
• Improved egg cleanliness by separating birds from manure.
• Facilitates parasite control (e.g., coccidiosis, worms).
• Designed feed troughs reduce feed waste.

Technical specifications
