Poultry Incubator

Product Features:

The core of a modern incubator is creating a highly stable,uniform,and precisely programmable micro-environment for embryo development.Advanced microprocessor control systems,using high-precision sensors and PID algorithms,minimize environmental fluctuations.Uniform air flow design(e.g.,tunnel airflow)ensures consistent temperature and humidity for every egg.Automatic turning mimics natural behavior,preventing embryo adhesion.Integrated alarm systems(for temperature,humidity,fan failure,power loss)can notify managers via SMS or network.Robust insulation and efficient heating/cooling systems ensure energy-efficient operation.Some high-end models feature CO₂monitoring and control.

Product Specifications:

A mid-sized single-stage incubator holding 25,200 chicken eggs is roughly 4.5m L x 2.2m W x 2m H.Heating is provided by multiple electric elements;cooling uses chilled water coils or refrigeration compressors.Humidification is via ultrasonic humidifiers or water evaporation pans.A motor-driven gear or linkage system tilts the egg trays.The control system logs all operational parameters and events and can connect to a central monitoring room.The unit requires stable water,power,and drain connections.

Product Applications:

Used by primary breeder farms and large-scale commercial hatcheries.Selected and sanitized hatching eggs are loaded onto trays and rolled into the incubator.The entire incubation period(≈21 days for chickens)is managed automatically:maintaining higher temperature/humidity with frequent turning in the early"setter"phase,then ceasing turning and increasing humidity/ventilation in the later"hatcher"phase to facilitate hatching.Stable conditions are fundamental for achieving high hatchability and chick quality.Modern hatcheries often use separate setters and hatchers,integrated with automation for candling,transfer,sexing,vaccination,and chick processing into an efficient production line.
