About The Position

This position is responsible for dumping catch cages onto the live-hang belt and monitoring the outfeed of empty cages. The Cage Dump Operator advances the row of full cages until the next one is in place for dumping. Once sufficient space exists on the live hang rollers, the operator dumps the cage on the live hanger belt. The operator lowers the cage and checks for any remaining birds. Birds that remain in the cage or on the cage deck are cleared with a hook and placed onto the live conveyor. Finally, the operator advances the empty cage to the “exit rollers” and advances the next full cage into position for dumping. The cage dump operator will also keep track of the current lot and lot changes.
