ATLAS live bird handling system

Increased levels of animal well-being

The ATLAS supply system is designed to ensure the best possible handling of the birds throughout their journey. During transportation from farm to processing plant, including their entry into the in-plant system, the birds remain comfortably housed in spacious trays. The innovative SmartStack module, featuring a loadable pallet with a customizable number of trays on top, provides best-in-class animal well-being and operational efficiency. Additionally, easily removable side panels enable seamless access to the birds in case of any issues.

Environmentally beneficial

Due to the ingenious design of this module, loading capacity increases dramatically (up to 38%), while bird headroom extends to an industry-leading height. This means fewer truck movements will be required, subsequently leading to strongly reduced levels of carbon dioxide being emitted.
