Egg Handling
Every hatchery aims to fully utilize the hatching potential of the eggs that enter its facility. This can only be achieved when the incoming eggs are held under optimum conditions till the moment they are placed in the incubator. These optimum conditions are created by a proper hygiene level, good storage conditions and delicate handling in the egg room. From the start we design the entire egg room to create an efficient and hygienic workflow. Based on the daily volume, we provide grading and labour saving machinery to quickly, efficiently and carefully process the eggs according to your specific needs. Our high quality washing machines ensure that trays and trolleys are optimally clean, before returning to the breeder farms.

Our product range for egg handling provides solutions for: • Egg grading • Egg transferring from farm to setter trays • Tray transferring from farm to setter trolley • (Un)loading of trolleys • Internal transportation • Waste discharge • Cleaning of trays and trolleys
Egg Transferring
From the 18th day of the incubation process, eggs are transferred from the setter tray to the hatcher basket. The essence of this procedure is to avoid eggs cooling down or being damaged, which have a negative influence on hatchability. Therefore the transfer process needs to be both quick and gentle. With the current increase of daily production volumes, labour costs and bio-security risks, reliable automation is essential to do this efficient and safe.
Our product range for egg transferring contains solutions for: • • • • • • • • •
Unloading of setter trolleys Live Embryo Detection / Traditional egg candling In ovo vaccination – Vinovo Select Inject™ Egg transferring from setter trays to hatcher baskets Stacking and loading of hatcher baskets and dollies Automatic storage for setter trays and trolleys Internal transportation Waste discharge Cleaning trays and trolleys
Management data Accurate prediction of hatchability for each flock through Live Embryo Detection™. Collected information: percentage of eggs with living embryos, infertile eggs, eggs with early and late dead embryos.
Vinovo Select Line
The transfer room is the ideal place to collect pre-hatch management data. Our latest innovation the Live Embryo Detection™ accurately indicates which eggs contain a living embryo and classifies the non-viable eggs as infertile, early or late dead embryos. These figures are summarized per flock and can be used to predict hatching numbers and monitor the breeding and incubation performance. Exactly knowing the content of each egg, also enables selective processing during in-ovo vaccination, egg transfer and waste discharge. For this reason we have especially developed the VINOVO Select Inject™ in-ovo vaccination machine and the Select Transfer™ machine. Both machines will only process the eggs that contain a living embryo. The infertile eggs and eggs with dead embryos (including rotten eggs / “bangers”) remain untouched in the setter tray and are processed in a separate waste room. This technology gives you the maximum hygiene level during in-ovo vaccination, transfer, hatching and chick processing.
The Vinovo Select Line, which can process up to 70.000 eggs per hour (depending on application), consists of three modules: Vinovo Live Embryo Detection™ Vinovo Select Inject™ Vinovo Select Transfer™

Chick processing
When processing day old chicks, many important factors need to be taken in to account to maintain chick quality. The daily production volume and the available time frame demand in many cases a high throughput. On the other hand delicate chick handling is required to conform with the high standards of animal welfare. Precision and accuracy during additional operations such as gender sorting, vaccination and counting require special attention as well. Optimal working conditions of employees and collection of production data are a necessity in a modern hatchery.

Our product range for chick processing contains solutions for: • • • • • • • •
Unloading and de-stacking of hatcher baskets and dollies Dust/ fluff reduction Chick separation Chick conveying, grading and counting Gender sorting (carousel and linear) Subcutaneous and spray vaccination equipment Loading of chick transport trolleys Humane chick culling
With an efficient, space-saving and hygienic workflow combined with high quality automation, you are more capable of controlling these important factors. With automation you reduce the need for hatchery staff and improve chick handling. Ergonomic work positions and dust reduction systems creates a better work environment for the employees and reduces labour absence. Automated data collection from workstations and chick counters gives a clear sight of production figures and employer performance.
Management Data Flock production figures, hatch of fertile percentage, average chick weight, employment performance.
Cleaning Cleaning & Storage & Storage
Each production cycle the product carriers (eg. setter trays, hatcher baskets, etc.) need to be cleaned, dried and stored to be re-used again the following production day. To prevent cross contamination the cleaning and drying results needs to be optimal, but also the products flow should be hygienic. Energy and water usage are a substantial cost factor in the daily operation of a hatchery in which an efficient cleaning solution can make a difference. Our hatchery design avoids physical crossing of dirty and clean products by separating pre-soak, washing and clean storage areas. This reduces the risk of cross contamination. High quality industrial washing machines are available in various models with capacities ranging from 200 to 3.000 products per hour. Efficient heat exchangers and an optimal water re-circulation system gives the best washing result against the lowest usage of energy and water. We apply product specific air re-circulation dryers with water recuperation, which efficiently dries the products and reduces water usage.
Our product range for cleaning and storage contains solutions for : • • • •
Pre-soaking Cleaning & drying of all hatchery products Stacking and de-stacking Automatic storage and supply

The Viscon Group Welcomes you!
Since 1927 our company has been involved in automation in the agro/horticultural sector, where we started out in the Flax industry, the soft wire material used to produce clothing. This company was established by the great grandfather of the currentgeneration owners, Jan Visser. After the demise in the flax business, in 1967, the next Visser generation started to buy and sell equipment in the horticultural industry under the new company name ‘Visser I.T.E.’. As the horticulture industry rapidly grew and diversified, it created a demand for custom made machinery. The Visser family took this opportunity and started to develop and manufacture their own machinery and provide custom made automation projects. Years later, the experience and success in horticulture led to expansion in different Agro & Food related sectors, such as ‘Fresh Produce’, ‘Poultry´ and ‘Food logistics’. In the last two decades the

family company grew from approximately 40 employees, to over 200 employees active in different sectors all over the world. As for today, several business units, each dedicated to a specific industry, form the ‘Viscon Group’. The Visser family DNA can be detected anywhere in the company: entrepreneurship, innovation, high technical standards and creativity have been the heartbeat of the organisation ever since they started designing and manufacturing themselves. Creating ideas, pouring enthusiasm, designing high end - high quality techniques and a worldwide focus is what the Viscon Group is all about. The company is now being run by Ton Visser, Els Vissser, Cees Visser and CEO René de Vos. With Viscon Group we aim to create innovative solutions for the smart movement of products in Agro & Food. We invite you to become part of the Viscon Experience where we provide expertise, consultancy and in house produced equipment for your company. eerinsg Engin cces u s ur o Y Company building Poland
