OverviewFoodline 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- Brand examples: Foodline (H-Series and A-Type layer cages).
- Primary material: Mild steel Q235.
- Surface treatments: Electro galvanization (zinc ≤ 8 g/m2), Hot-dip galvanization (zinc ≤ 275 g/m2).
