The Apollo Compact Pro by CMC Poultry Tech is a compact, high-performance automated machine for harvesting and loading live chickens.
Designed in compliance with EHEDG guidelines, it ensures maximum biosecurity and easy cleaning thanks to its galvanized and stainless-steel structure.
It loads 8,000 to 12,000 birds per hour (16–26 tons/h), maintaining consistent weight and quality through an automatic weighing system.
The Soft-Start System and reduced belt inclinations ensure gentle transfer, minimizing animal stress. Loading takes place directly into containers via an integrated carousel, avoiding contact with litter. It is compatible with all major cage types (Marel, Meyn, Linco, Anglia, and others).
Only 2–4 operators are required, reducing labor costs.
Its compact design makes it easy to transport and maneuver, even in complex poultry houses.
It operates in extreme temperatures from –40°C to +50°C.
Supported by comprehensive service, training, and spare parts assistance, it represents the latest generation of high-efficiency CMC loaders.

Poultry breeding has been part of our activities since 1949, first, within the framework of the Bábolna State Farm, which was established after 1945 on the grounds of the Bábolna Stud Farm founded in 1789. In the late 1960s, when hybridisation also emerged in global poultry breeding, we developed our first breeds under the TETRA brand name.
Thanks to successful and modern breeding methods, by the 1970s our products were already present in more than 50 countries worldwide, and the TETRA name became synonymous with poultry hybrids of high genetic value.
Following the political and economic transition of 1989–1990, the former state farm was transformed into smaller companies. In the early 2000s, after a privatisation process, Bábolna TETRA Poultry Breeding and Marketing Ltd. was established in its current form and has been fully privately owned since than.
In the period that followed, significant investments were made: the company’s real estate assets were modernised, new and up-to-date buildings and a hatchery were constructed, and as a result of successful genetic research, our range of layer breeds expanded. In addition, coloured meat and dual-purpose breeds were also introduced.
While the breeds marketed under the TETRA brand are primarily selected for long-lasting and cost-effective egg production, in recent years we have also developed our ELMA breeds with improved heat tolerance, as well as the COUNTRY layer breeds specialised for alternative production systems.
Our wide and colourful range of breeds enables us to offer tailored solutions to poultry keepers when selecting breeds, taking into account production objectives, market demands, and the applied housing and management technologies.
Our company also operates its own affiliated enterprises providing complementary services, including an accredited laboratory and a logistics company with a specialised vehicle fleet for the road transport of day-old chicks.
We consider continuous communication and professional consultancy with our partners to be of outstanding importance.
Despite the market concentration that has taken place over the past two decades, Bábolna TETRA Ltd. has strengthened its market presence over the last 20 years across four continents, in nearly 60 countries worldwide.
We hope to welcome you soon among our satisfied customers using TETRA breeds.
