Incubator Blitz (semi-professional hatcher): description

Incubators of this brand are presented on the market in four models. There is no fundamental difference in design and arrangement between them. Basically, they are distinguished from each other by the volume of the container for placing eggs and the presence of additional functionality. The digital series of this brand of incubators additionally has an alarm system in case of a power outage and a transition to an autonomous mode of maintaining the temperature inside the egg laying compartment. And also this model is equipped with an automatic water filling system in special containers, which helps to ensure constant humidity inside the compartment. The incubator body is equipped with special inspection windows to check the condition of the eggs.

Energy savings are achieved through the use of additional foam polymer material. It does not conduct heat well, so the temperature in the incubator is kept constant, without additional energy consumption. Although in the classic models, layer-by-layer technology of plywood and foam is used. Of course, such walls do not have full-fledged sound insulation, however, they quite allow even novice farmers to adapt to the operation of the device and regularly replenish the brood of birds.

The company produces industrial versions of incubators that are designed for a larger number of eggs, this is reflected in its design. The unit has five egg trays and can hold up to 500 eggs in total. This is a semi-automatic unit with automatic inversion of trays, maintaining temperature and humidity inside the incubator. Outwardly, it looks more like a refrigerator, equipped with fans and air filters to collect dust and fluff.

Characteristics and design of incubators

The classic version of the incubator is made in the form of a box, on the side wall of which there is a temperature and humidity control console. Operating temperature modes are 30-40 degrees with an error of 0.1 degrees. Automatic flip of the tray ensures uniform heating of the entire bookmark. Automation flips the tray every two hours. There is an air circulation system with the transfer of excess heat to the external environment.

The device operates from a regular 220 Volt electrical network.

The unit cover can be transparent or have special viewing windows. This allows you to control the incubation process without disturbing the temperature and humidity levels. Incubator for setting eggs Blitz brand equipment with a hygrometer, which controls the humidity level in the compartment in the range of 35-80% with an error of 3%. When the humidity level drops, water is automatically added to the trays. Artificial circulation maintains this level within the normal range.

Thanks to electronic control, the incubation process is greatly simplified, all parameters can be seen on the digital display. Some models are equipped with an audible alarm that is triggered when the modes deviate from the set parameters.

Blitz norm

The set of the Blitz incubator of the Norma series includes a container with a tray, two water tanks, a heater, a fan and a temperature sensor, a grate, a control console, a transparent lid.

The presence of a digital control panel greatly simplifies the work of the farmer. Incubators produced in Orenburg are suitable for breeding chickens, quails, geese, ducks, turkeys and other bird species. The management console allows you to:

• regulate the temperature regime inside the chamber;
• enable the option of automatic flipping of the tray for optimal heating of the eggs;
• turn on and off the heater;
• activate the buzzer function.

The control and management of the device operation is carried out using light indication. It allows you to control parameters such as:

• turning on / off the heating element;
• position of the rotary mechanism of the tray;
• transfer of the unit to standby power sources;
• temperature inside the incubator compartment;
• the percentage of moisture in the compartment.

In case of a power failure or temperature violation, an audible alarm is activated.

The incubator's characteristics make it possible to automate the process of hatching chicks, which makes it an indispensable unit in the household of any farmer. The unit is designed for a maximum laying of 72 chicken eggs or 24 goose eggs.

Blitz 48 digital

Information about all models can be found at the Orenburg poultry hatchery. Model 48 differs from the Norm in dimensions and dimensions of the egg tray. It is designed for 48 chicken, 16 goose, 38 duck and 103 quail and 13 turkey eggs. The unit body is made of plywood. The principle of operation of the unit is similar to the Norm. It also has digital control, a battery as a backup power source, which is enough for 22 hours of battery life. Has a system for pouring water into the trays without opening the lid.

As you might guess, the size and capacity of the unit should be larger. The unit is designed for 120 chicken eggs. He already weighs 11.4 kilograms. Its complete set is standard.The incubator, like the previous units, is equipped with an automatic mechanism for turning the tray with a preset timer for two hours. It has a system for adding water to trays, a humidity and temperature control system.

The management console for all incubators contains the following tools:

• handle for temperature adjustment;
• power connection indicator;
• heating status indicator;
• heating button;
• Tray Rotate Status Indicator
• button for turning on the tray rotation function;

There are two to four trays inside the compartment. They act as a humidity regulator inside the compartment. There is a fan on the side of the control unit. It allows air to circulate inside. Excess warm air is removed through the upper vent, which must be open throughout the incubation period.

Incubation table for chicken eggs in the Blitz incubator

To obtain a large percentage of hatching, it is necessary to observe a certain technology for incubating eggs:

How to increase the humidity in a chicken egg incubator

To get the maximum brood from the set eggs, it is necessary to strictly observe the technology. The main condition for hatching chicks is compliance with the temperature regime and maintaining constant humidity. Moreover, the humidity for eggs of different species should be different, for water birds it will be higher, for terrestrial birds - lower. In addition, at different stages of incubation, the humidity must either be increased or decreased.

In the incubator, air humidity is provided by trays with water. There may be two or four, depending on the size of the incubator. Therefore, to increase the humidity, the number of trays must be added. But there is one nuance here. It is not the amount of water that needs to be increased, but the area of ​​evaporation. The larger it is, the higher the moisture percentage.

An incubator is an essential tool for any poultry farmer. The failure of the unit will certainly entail losses. However, even if you have electronics, you can fix it yourself. The main incubator malfunctions can be classified into three types:

• violation of the temperature regime;
• open circuit;
• violation of tray positioning option.

In fact, these problems are solved quite easily. In general, the unit has no repairable parts, so all parts must be replaced. Accordingly, repairs involve simple replacement of elements.

If the temperature sensor shows the wrong temperature, then you can check its serviceability with another working thermometer. If there is a discrepancy, the temperature sensor must be replaced.

If the reducer does not turn the tray, it is necessary to check first of all the integrity of the chain. If everything is in order, the gearbox itself is out of order. It should also be replaced.

When the unit is turned on, it does not work. First of all, you need to check if it is running on battery power. If it works, then the power supply is faulty or there is a cable break.

Observing the instructions for using the unit, you can breed more than one generation of healthy chicks.
