Egg Handling & Grading Equipment
Once your layer house starts producing, the bottleneck moves from the cage to the egg room. Surya Poultry Division builds the full egg handling and grading line so eggs move from cage to crate with minimum breakage and minimum labour. We have manufactured poultry equipment in Hisar, Haryana since 1996 and hold 4 patents, so the machines are designed for Indian house layouts, Indian power supply, and the way our farmers actually pack and sell.
This range covers every stage after the hen lays:
- Collection: Manual Egg Collection Belt System for smaller rows, and Automatic Egg Collection Systems for A-frame cages and high-capacity houses that move around 10,000 eggs per hour with breakage kept low.
- Grading and inspection: entry-level mechanical Egg Grading Machines, mid electronic grader cum sorting lines, industrial grader cum packers, plus handheld and bench LED candlers and automatic inline candling.
- Washing, stamping and counting: egg washing machines with wash, rinse and dry sections, date and brand stamping or inkjet coding, and inline egg counters.
- Trays, crates and handling: paper pulp and reusable plastic 30-egg trays, transport crates, MS collection trolleys, vacuum egg lifters and storage racks.
- Storage: insulated cold rooms for eggs to hold quality before dispatch.
Whether you run a 5,000-bird unit or a commercial grading floor, we can size the right combination. Prices depend on capacity and configuration, so message us on WhatsApp with your bird count and daily egg output for a quote.

Enquire on WhatsAppHow to choose egg handling equipment for your farm
Match the equipment to your daily egg volume and how you sell. A few practical pointers from what farmers ask us most:
- Start with collection. If you are still hand-picking from cages, a manual collection belt cuts labour and cracked eggs. For A-frame layer cages above roughly 10,000 to 15,000 birds, an automatic collection system usually pays back in saved labour and lower breakage.
- Grade only if your buyer pays for it. Many North India mandi and trader sales do not need weight grading. If you supply retail, hotels, or branded cartons, a grading line that sorts by weight and a candler to pull out cracks and blood spots will lift your realisation.
- Candling matters for hatching eggs. Breeder and hatchery operators should pair a candler with collection. A simple handheld LED candler is enough for small flocks; inline automatic candling suits hatchery throughput.
- Washing and stamping are for organised retail. Egg washing plus a date or FSSAI-style stamp is mainly for farms selling into modern trade or export. Note that washed eggs need cold-chain storage, so plan a cold room alongside.
- Do not skip trays and trolleys. Reusable plastic 30-egg trays, transport crates and a collection trolley are low-cost items that immediately reduce in-house breakage.
Surya supplies single machines or a complete integrated egg room. Tell us your layer capacity, whether the eggs are table or hatching, and your packing format, and we will recommend a setup. Enquire on WhatsApp for current pricing and lead time.
Common questions
What is the price of an egg grading machine in India?
It depends entirely on capacity. A small mechanical grader handling roughly 4,000 to 10,000 eggs per hour is an entry-level item, while electronic mid-range sorting lines (about 10,000 to 30,000 eggs per hour) and industrial grader cum packers cost considerably more. Surya does not publish fixed prices because each line is configured to your volume. Send your daily egg output on WhatsApp and we will quote.
How does an automatic egg collection system work in a layer cage house?
Eggs roll out of each cage tier onto a longitudinal belt, which carries them to a cross conveyor and an elevator at the end of the house. From there eggs feed a packing table or grading line. Surya's Automatic Egg Collection System for A-frame cages keeps egg damage low and high-capacity versions move around 10,000 eggs per hour.
Do I need an egg washing machine for my poultry farm?
Only if you sell into organised retail, hotels, or export channels that require washed and stamped eggs. For traditional mandi and trader sales in India, washing is usually not needed and can shorten shelf life if eggs are not then kept in a cold room. If you do need it, Surya offers entry washers (around 600 eggs per hour) up to industrial wash, rinse and dry lines.
Is Surya an egg equipment manufacturer or just a dealer?
Surya Poultry Division is a manufacturer based in Hisar, Haryana, making poultry equipment since 1996 with 4 patents. We build collection belts, graders, candlers, washers, trays, trolleys and cold rooms, and we supply across Haryana, Punjab and North India.
What is the smallest egg handling setup you recommend for a new farm?
For a starter layer unit, reusable plastic 30-egg trays, a few transport crates, an MS egg collection trolley and a handheld LED candler cover the basics and cut breakage at low cost. You can add a collection belt and a grader later as your flock grows. Message us on WhatsApp and we will suggest a setup for your bird count.
