Technical Systems, based in the beautiful city of Cape Town, South Africa, was established in 1993 by Theuns Kuhn. From humble beginnings of only one product and three employees, the company has quickly grown into a major global poultry and pig equipment manufacturer and supplier of chain and auger conveying products.
Starting in 1993 with a total of three employees, Technical Systems has experienced a tremendous growth phase. In 1995 the total work force was 15 employees and within one year in 1996, the work force doubled to a total of 30 employees. Four years later in 2000 we employed 60 staff and currently our staff compliment reached 150.
Our flagship product cemented our position as the largest poultry feeding chain manufacturer.
During 1999 we started with the development if our auger range and it took us almost 10 years to establish this range in the market. Our auger products have the highest fatigue resistance, a common failure in this application. As a result of this success, we branded our auger range in 2008 with the FATIQLESS Trade Mark. We are also the largest auger manufacturer, and we see good growth opportunities in the future.
During 2010 subsidiaries Technical Systems Inc. in the USA, as well as Technical Systems BV in Holland were established.
Technical Systems manufactures poultry feeding equipment, more specifically chain and auger conveyors, for the purpose of conveying materials in various applications.
Of the material we manufacture, 95% is exported to the international market – directly to major Original Equipment Manufacturers to over 50 countries around the world. They in turn do installations worldwide, that ensures that our equipment is used in each and every country in the world.
We continuously strive to improve the quality of our products and to add new products to our range by exploring new opportunities in the poultry and pig industry. Capacities have increased over the years to accommodate growth and to enable delivery in short periods of time, applying our “managing your feed distribution with flexibility” statement.

Thor Ice Chilling Solutions offers a patented chilling technology for improving and boosting the bird core temperature, to secure food safety, a longer shelf life and increased profitability. By upgrading the chill room into an intelligent chill room, we apply the right energy to each individual bird.
Regulations (EU 2017/1495) require poultry products to be cooled to the optimal temperature range of 0-4°C during processing, to ensure the safety of the end product.Thor Ice is transforming bird chilling methods with its unique patented IceGun technology, and can be implemented in every bird chilling room without the need of modifications and extension.
When implementing the Thor Ice Chilling Solution within your bird chilling process, you can benefit from:- An expected overall yield improvement due to a better cut-up & filleting efficiency and minimised drip-loss- 1-2 days of additional shelf life due to minimised bacteria count.
– ROI of less than 6 months compared to investing in a modification/expansion of the chill room
– Up to 30% capacity increase
In 2019, Thor Ice was chosen by EIT Food to join their RisingFoodStars organisation, an elite group of highly innovative scaleups whose innovations have a high potential of transforming the food system.

How Synexis Technology Works
Synexis uses a photocatalytic process to create free radicals generated in situ from ambient air and water, including reactive oxygen species. This enables continuous, touchless microbial reduction throughout indoor environments.
Since DHP™ has also been tested and reported as an effective replacement for formaldehyde in commercial poultry hatcheries, Synexis has become an important part of hatcheries’ long-term pathogen control strategy while avoiding health and safety risks associated with formaldehyde.
Synexis technology is backed by independent third-party data and provides a proactive and synergistic method that enhances cleaning protocols and supports airborne microbial reduction in occupied spaces, from small rooms to larger enclosed facilities, such as:

Anglia Autoflow is the family business based in Norfolk, England. Since 1969 Anglia Autoflow step by step has been designing, developing, manufacturing and implementing into modern industry a range of innovative and leading-edge products for the food processing industry – the turn key solution for live birds logistic chain. Anglia Autoflow has been at the forefront of creating modern industry standards for the catching, transport and factory handling of poultry. Thanks to Anglia Autoflow, the hanging of birds from open topped drawers has become an industry preference. Easyload™ Transportation solution (Drawer & Module System) was introduced in 1981 and has been a global success, replacing dumping container systems – improving welfare and product quality. Hundreds of Easyload™ systems operating in climates ranging from the severe cold of Canada and Russia to the extreme heat of the Middle East and Africa. Since the mid 80s, the Easyload™ harvester by Anglia Autoflow completely solves the downgrading problems resulting from manually catching and loading birds. The dimensions and manoevrability of the Harvester allow it to work in any type of shed, even with columns and on any litter. These days, the broilers harvesting automation is especially relevant due to the shortage of labour and its high cost. Easyload™ Packer counts and records birds numbers. The world's first nitrogen based Controlled Atmosphere Stunning Easyload™ system was installed in UK in May 2002. Scientific research conducted by the University of Bristol, Anglia Autoflow were able to alongside independent industry tests, conclude that Anglia Autoflow's Controlled Atmosphere Stunning (CAS) produced high quality meat and provided the best welfare solutions. By combining their extensive industry knowledge and experience alongside the work carried out by the University of Bristol and Anglia Autoflow were able to successfully develop the nitrogen based stunning system. Anglia Autoflow won the RSPCA Freedom Foods Alastair Mews Award in 2002. RSPCA is non-profit making farm animal welfare scheme, that promotes improved animal welfare on farms, during transport and at the abattoir. The judges, who included vets, academics, livestock consultants and representative from the trade press commented on the Easyload™ system as "having the potential to have a huge impact on the industry". After CO2 was approved for stunning, Anglia Autoflow developed 5 stage Control Atmosphere Stunning that just used this gas. Birds in drawers smoothly transfer through this system, calmly pass into unconsciousness and remain in this state throughout the hanging and kill process. This eliminates bird stress, releases of adrenaline in the blood and significantly increases the quality of meat. The gas injection and transfer of birds through the CAS systems is automatically controlled and adjusted to suit the bird and line throughput. The Anglia Autoflow's CAS Halal approved in many countries and preferred by Fast Food Chains wanting high product quality and animal welfare. Easyload™ is the best turnkey high bird welfare solution for poultry logistic: Automatic catching Efficient loading Efficient transporting High speed automatic handling at the processing plant Controlled Atmosphere Stunning for all types of birds.
