BRINSEA QUALITY  INCUBATORS

The Revolutionary Incubator Concept-New Technology in a Familiar Shape

Brinsea products are so dependable they offer a full, free two year guarantee against any mechanical or electrical failure.

 

The nearest approach to the natural nest

Brinsea was established twenty-five years ago by an engineer with an interest in breeding birds. The interest became a passion, and the engineering knowledge channeled his enthusiasm to produce the most innovative incubators and brooders available.

The intervening twenty-five years have seen the successful application of more patents than the rest of the small incubator industry combined, culminating in 2003 with the introduction of the world’s first Contact Incubator.

Our products are designed to be long lasting and energy efficient. All incubators and brooders have cabinets made of molded integral-skin foam polyurethane, except for clear window areas. This material provides exceptional thermal insulation and has a hard, impervious surface which is smooth and washable and withstands scrubbing. Good insulation together with ‘Omnitherm’ heating technology, heaters that can be printed on clear observation areas, ensure minimum power consumption, uniform temperature within cabinets and optimum response to controls. All our control systems are electronic and heavily protected from power spikes. All our fans are brushless DC computer types, which run silent and cool last many times longer than others. If a new technology come along, we will evaluate it and adopt it as appropriate so long as it offers better quality or value for money.

Brinsea has its own in-house facilities for an unusually wide range of manufacturing procedures from electronic assembly, sheet metal working and numerous methods for moulding and forming plastics. Every step of every process is subject to quality assurance procedures independently assessed under ISO 9002. This enables us to have tighter control over quality and supply than depending on a myriad of suppliers. It also facilitates testing of new ideas and prototyping of new products, which in turn helps us respond efficiently to the requirements of our customers. To augment this responsiveness, we recently set up our own state-of-the-art three dimensional computer aided design facility.

In twenty-five years Brinsea has developed into a highly professional team, each member of which is properly qualified for the job. However, Brinsea is still very much a family business devoted to the production of bird breeding products of the finest quality and value for money, and to the best possible service to customers.

The introduction of the first Contact Incubator will not allow us to rest on our laurels. Rather, it signals an acceleration of radical new product introductions over the next few years.
