KL Products - Chick Counter (A570)

Description

The A570 is the industry leader in multiple lane, high volume chick counting. With our exclusive five lane design, chicks are handled at slower speeds with superior separation and improved counting accuracy. The system intelligence is built on world leading PLC technology and uses top quality high speed photo sensors. The system counts each chick as it passes under the lane sensor. The chick is then transferred to the chick box via specially designed chutes. Our chutes insure that the chick is handled gently while providing very accurate box counts. The display provides detailed data through our interactive operator display that can also provide a printout at the counter and link to a desktop PC. The A570 is clearly the first choice for high volume chick counting.

Key Features & Benefits

- Multiple lanes, high speed sensors and our exclusive three tier belt system provides for slower, gentler chick handling while maintaining high volume accuracy of over 70,000 chicks per hour. This means improved mortality and chick count accuracy than our competition.
- The system is based on an industrial grade processor for added computational power and precision, a vast array of data collection and display and a PC link capability for spreadsheet analysis. Better performance with easy upgrades and option selection unlike our competitors' dedicated printed circuit boards.
- Complete NEMA 4 - stainless steel electrical enclosure with motor starters, pneumatic controls, PLC, user interface, fuse blocks and overload devices included at no extra cost.
- Fully adaptable conveyor layout. Our modular frame design allows the counter be mounted overtop or perpendicular to the conveyor for a flexible hatchery layout and easier retrofit to existing equipment. Uses less floor space and reduces user installation time and cost.
- Modem kit included at no extra cost. Allows direct phone connection to your counter by KL technicians for easy diagnostics, modification or upgrades to your counter system without the time and expense of a service call to your hatchery.
