High-grade automation solutions

Automation can play a critical role in solving the challenges hatcheries are faced with, for instance, the need to save on labour, improve on quality or increase productivity. With a flexible approach, Petersime helps you to determine where automation will bring the most added value to your operations. Whether it is about stand-alone automation or a completely customized project, we have the expertise to provide both. 

Washing machine


After each production cycle, all trays, baskets and boxes need to be thoroughly cleaned to be ready for use the next production day. Petersime’s washing machine not only saves on labour, but also gives the best washing results. 

  • Efficient cleaning process
  • Maximum hygiene level
  • High speed of operation
  • Compact machine

Sexing and vaccination line


Efficient sexing and vaccination require a well-organized workflow with comfortable workstations. The Petersime sexing and vaccination line ensures comfortable working conditions and an optimum workflow: More chicks get processed with less labour effort. 

  • Efficient and space-saving workflow
  • Ergonomic workstations
  • High speed of operation
  • Easy to clean and maintain

Chick counter


Speed and accuracy are vital in any hatchery where large numbers of chicks are to be handled in the shortest possible time and in absolutely correct quantities. The Petersime chick counter reduces your labour force, works fast and eliminates counting errors made by hatchery staff. 

  • Great counting accuracy
  • Optimal working conditions
  • High speed of operation
  • Easy to clean and maintain

Candling and transfer machine


In most hatcheries, egg candling and transferring from setter tray to hatcher basket is done on the 18th day of incubation. Petersime’s automatic candling and transfer machine can smooth out this peak in labour requirements. 

  • Gentle egg handling, minimizing the risk of breakage and cracks
  • Automated registration of candling data
  • High speed of operation
  • Compact and mobile machine that is easy to clean and maintain
