Setup and performance

Effective automation

It only takes two people to setup GRADY. The machine is easy to clean and disinfect. It is therefore made entirely out of stainless steel and aluminum. 

The theoretical performance of GRADY 3001 is more than 3,700 birds per hour. Practically, a performance objective of 2,600 birds per hour with only 4 people is easily achievable, including setup and removal of the device and rounding up the birds. GRADY 4000 features a higher theoretical capacity of more than 4,000 birds per hour. Including setup, cleaning and packing, a performance objective higher than 3,000 birds per hour is achievable.

Through automation and the combined process of vaccinating and grading in one step, GRADY reduces the workload significantly. In line with a scientific investigation, a time-saving of up to 65 percent was measured.
