Apollo Universal - The Chicken Harvester

CATCHING: lnside the chicken house the Apollo loads the chicken on the front of the machine. The front of the Harvesting Head is made of catching belts placed next to each other. The chicken automatically stand up before the Catching belt, and step on the belt without effort.
TRANSFER: After catching, the chickens are transferred to the back of the machine.
First on the front with the help of 2 Transfer Belts the chickens are transported to a small Flat Belt in the centre. Followed by the Main belt in the middle of the machine, also called Main Tunnel.
CAGING: Afterthe Main Tunnel comes the Caging Belt,this belt places the birds into the containers. The operator moves the belt from left to right to evenly fili the container level. The computer on the Apollo counts by weight every levelof the container, making rt possible to put the correct number of chickens in every container.

Guys, this LOOKS cruel, but most chickens are just grabbed by the feet and thrown into the cages by workers with brute force. This machine doesn't get frustrated with flapping birds, doesn't break their leg bones, doesn't twist their wings.

Nine years in the industry and I never had litter as moist as seen in 2:51 .

I don't get why people are getting so triggered over the machine. The machine is literally a moving walkway from an airport for chickens.

[@shaider1982]

As a mech engineer. I find the machine facinating.

I wonder, what's more cruel? the music or the machine? chickenmatrix

[@petroklawrence6668]

I'm gonna go with the music, the machine looks cruel but that music will give me nightmares.

this is the price we pay as consumers for wanting everything cheaper.

[@kashifshahbaz3399]

sir its price in Pakistani Rs????

[@luckeofrance1422]

this is cruel, shame on companies thinking and building such process to make always more and more profit, animals are not corn!

[@jnharton]

They're still purposely grown in order to kill, butcher, and eat them. How is a machine that scoops chickens onto a conveyor belt and gets them into crates any worse than people grabbing several and stuffing them into a box?
