Draper like chain gathering system in an automated Egg production building. (a landlord of mine in late 70s) 150,000 chickens in one building. seven rows of hens each with 4 layers of layers. Manure pull system ran 24/7 It stopped one day and the chain had to be repaired in ~7 minutes. Put it together in 5 or so, but on startup, it broke again. The only solution is to kill chickens (about 10 workers doing it killing 1800 layers for 40 minutes or so) They end up in soup, so it was not total waste. The manure chain must move or the load exceeds the capacity. Each is usually changed every so often with a new chain spliced in, old chain run out the same end and rolled up at the same time stopped and tail spliced, then restarted. One minute for each splice. No issue. That is bad reality. JimN
