Big Dutchman Innovations at IPPE 2026

12/07/2025

In addition to a proven range of equipment encompassing housing, ventilation, sustainability, and productivity, Big Dutchman has introduced new products suitable for both brand-new facilities and retrofits. The following new products to be demonstrated at the 2026 IPPE will enhance efficiency, promote flock health, and contribute positively to the bottom line.

 

MultiVacc Pullet Vaccination Machine

 

To meet industry needs, Big Dutchman has developed a mobile semi-automatic vaccination machine. The unit can simultaneously administer four injections into the breast and a single wing-web injection in a single operation. Labor requirements are reduced, and vaccine positioning precision is improved compared with manual injection. This should improve immunity and flock productivity. The ergonomic design of the MultiVacc will reduce crew stress and minimize vaccination costs.

NXB ReMix Small Group Nest

 

This unique hybrid design incorporates the advantages of individual nests with the efficiency of a community nest installation. The NXB ReMix was developed in consultation with the producer to be compatible with U.S. house layouts and modern high-producing hens. The system includes a nest pad with large perforations to help keep eggs cleaner.  A dark, enclosed interior with an upgraded closure system will optimize egg production per hen.

 

Sharky 430 Cleaning Robot

 

Big Dutchman has developed an automated cleaning robot in conjunction with Envirologic of Sweden. The unit provides autonomous cleaning for both rearing and laying aviary installations. The Sharky 430 features a flexible cleaning arm for thorough decontamination of nests, troughs, and corners. The Sharky 430 can operate with sensors independent of guide rails, following pre-installed cleaning programs specific to Big Dutchman aviaries. The unit is powered by batteries, eliminating the need for an external power source and cables. The Sharky 430 offers the potential for thorough cleaning and disinfection and reduces labor requirements compared to conventional pressure washers.

CompoTower Manure Composting System

 

Big Dutchman’s CompoTower system is available in a range of capacities, handling the output from farms housing 10,000 to 250,000 hens. Four units can be clustered for U.S. in-line aviary complexes holding one million hens to process 100 tons of manure daily. Processing cycles range from 5 to 15 days, depending on moisture content, yielding a sterile, organic, nutrient-rich product with a moisture content of 15%. Predetermined quantities of manure are added to the insulated reaction vessel daily. Mixing blades agitate the product continually during composting. The insulated vessel is equipped with power ventilation, and the composting process is controlled by integrated circuitry on a control panel.

 

Big Dutchman has installed CompoTower units in the E.U. and Asian nations to comply with environmental regulations. The installation provides producers with an additional cash stream from the composted product. In areas with stringent restrictions on ammonia and greenhouse gas emissions, Big Dutchman can supply a two-stage air scrubber that removes 99% of ammonia and 90% of dust.
