Smart, Scalable, and Hygienic: Why Moba Solutions Are a Game-Changer for NZ Egg Producers
New Zealand’s egg industry is evolving rapidly — with increasing consumer demand, tighter food safety regulations, and pressure to boost efficiency without compromising quality. For Kiwi producers looking to stay ahead of the curve, Moba’s world-leading egg grading, packing, and processing solutions provide a proven, future-ready edge.
Here’s how Moba and APS help New Zealand egg producers transform their operations and meet both local and export market expectations with confidence.
1. Fully Integrated Automation — From Shed to Shelf
Labour shortages and rising operational costs are a common challenge across New Zealand’s food sector. Moba’s end-to-end automation systems significantly reduce reliance on manual labour while increasing throughput and consistency. From infeed and washing to grading, packing, and palletising, Moba systems streamline every step — improving traceability, reducing handling, and cutting down on breakages.
For free-range and barn systems Moba’s flexible solutions are especially valuable, adapting seamlessly to different production environments.
2. Accurate Grading for Local and Export Standards
New Zealand’s food safety and quality regulations are among the strictest in the world. Moba’s precision grading technology helps egg producers meet those standards with ease. Equipped with advanced vision systems and gentle handling technology, Moba graders detect cracks, dirt, internal defects, and weight variances with exceptional accuracy — ensuring only the best eggs reach the market.
For producers exporting to Australia, the Pacific Islands, or Asia, Moba systems help maintain the consistency and quality that international markets demand.

3. Designed for Scalability and Customisation
Whether you’re supplying farmers’ markets, regional supermarkets, or major national chains, Moba offers modular solutions that can grow with your business. Their systems are designed to be scalable — meaning smaller producers can start with a compact setup and expand as demand grows. This makes Moba ideal for both family-run farms and large-scale commercial operations.
4. Hygiene and Cleanability for MPI Compliance
Cleanliness and biosecurity are non-negotiables for New Zealand producers. Moba machines are engineered with open construction, smooth finishes, and easy-to-access components — making washdowns quicker and more effective. This supports compliance with MPI standards and helps reduce downtime for cleaning, keeping your operation moving efficiently.
5. Smart Data and Traceability
Moba’s software solutions provide real-time visibility across your operation. You can monitor performance, track yield, identify issues early, and ensure full traceability — essential for audit readiness and supply chain transparency. Whether you’re meeting customer specs or improving profitability, Moba puts you in control with actionable data at your fingertips.
6. Reliable Local Support and Global Backing
Moba’s global reputation is backed by a strong local partnership with APS. New Zealand producers can count on responsive service, spare parts availability, and expert advice — helping minimise downtime and protect your investment for the long haul.
