The Brinsea Still Air Range Incubators

Hatchmaker / Polyhatch / Hatchmaster

hatchmaker incubator
#I-HATM-BP  $265.00 -Hatchmaker
Brinsea's still air incubators are recognized as long-standing class leaders. They offer an unbeatable combination of reliability, longevity, simplicity and value for money. The natural convection system in Brinsea's still air incubator range provides near ideal conditions for hatching and is flexible and easy to use.

price does not  include S/H

Each machine is moldedn from integrally skinned structural polyurethane which has a core of thermal insulation and hard, durable, impervious surfaces making it readily washable and tough enough to withstand scrubbing. Polyurethane is amongst the toughest of plastics and must not be confused with cheap, fragile alternatives like expanded polystyrene. The excellent thermal properties of polyurethane foam result in low heat losses and low power consumption.

Temperature Control


Temperature control for the Hatchmaker, Polyhatch and Hatchmaster is provided by Brinsea's proven proportional electronic system which gives very accurate and stable control unaffected by voltage variations and changes in barometric pressure. The sensor and thermometer are mounted in a swivel clip which facilitates easy adjustment to suit a wide range of egg sizes. Temperature adjustment is made by turning an externally mounted spindle. This multi-turn device allows very fine adjustment of temperature and is not easily turned accidentally.

 



Automatic egg turning


Eggs must be turned periodically during incubation to prevent the internal structures from sticking and to promote embryo
development. The Polyhatch and Hatchmaster 'A' turn the eggs completely automatically and safely on an hourly cycle. Brinsea's patented system ensures safe and reliable rotation of almost any sized eggs without the need to purchase accessories*. If hatching in a Polyhatch or Hatchmaster 'A' the turning system can be disconnected and with the end covers (supplied) in place and the dividing rods removed, there is no opportunity for the chicks to injure themselves on the turning mechanism.

*Note: For quail or other very small eggs, special egg troughs are recommended. These are not supplied as standard but are usually available from stock.

Hatchmaker and Hatchmaster 'H' - Incubators or Hatchers

Whilst either the Hatchmaker and Hatchmaster 'H' can be used effectively to incubate from day one through to hatching, the lack of automatic egg turning makes these models suitable for reptiles or as hatchers when used in conjunction with an automatic setter.


Brinsea recommend hatching in a separate machine for the following reasons: (Please check out Cage'N Bird Water Nannie Brooders as an alternative hatcher
)

  •  Automatic egg turning of later batches of eggs can be continued without fear of damage to
     emerging chicks.
  •  Contamination of the automatic incubator is virtually eliminated so no pauses are required for   cleaning. This enables one batch of eggs to follow another without interruption.
  •  The higher humidity conditions required for hatching can be maintained in the hatcher, thus  avoiding any compromise in the conditions required for eggs at earlier stages.

12v Polyhatch and Hatchmaker

12v incubators have been developed for situations where mains supplies are unreliable or for transporting eggs during incubation. The very low power consumption enables them to be run from ordinary vehicle batteries for many hours between charges. 12v incubators must not be connected direct to mains power, but can be operated from the mains via a 12v transformer/rectifier capable of an output of 2.5 amps (Hatchmaker) and 4 amps (Polyhatch). The voltage is not critical and may be from 11 to 14 volts provided it is reasonably constant.
