OCTAGON 20 ADVANCE EX DIGITAL |
| Detailed Description |
|
The EX version with the Humidity Pump effectively maintains the humidity level precisely at the level the user sets irrespective of changes in room humidity and so overcomes problems that can commonly lead to eggs failing to hatch – especially in the latest stages of incubation. The Humidity Pump includes an external water reservoir eliminating the chances of water in the incubator harbouring bacteria. Full function, reliable, versatile incubator widely used for all kinds of species and is the solution to the incubation of small numbers of eggs, providing the control and reliability to ensure top hatch rates, time after time. * Capable of hatching 60 quail, 24 hen or 12 goose eggs and equally good with parrots and birds of prey. * Simple and highly accurate digital control system giving: * Temperature and humidity display * Temperature alarm * Choice of °C or °F * Fully factory calibrated * Good visibility of the eggs * Tough and hygienic cabinet * Insulated for low energy use and optimal temperature distribution * Automatic egg turning cradle and optional humidity pump (Included on the Octagon 20 Advance EX only) Control system: The specially designed control system is the heart of the Octagon 20 Advance. In normal mode it shows the incubation temperature and humidity to very high levels of accuracy. A simple menu allows the user to change the incubation settings. Features include high and low temperature alarm and choice of °C or °F. The menu also allows full control of humidity with the optional Advance Humidity Pump (not available on #10411) Cabinet: The high quality incubator cabinet is entirely injection moulded from high grade ABS which makes it durable and easy to clean. The base is double skinned and foam filled to reduce heat loss meaning to lower electricity consumption and better temperature distribution. The top of the incubator is clear allowing good visibility of the eggs and chicks. Humidity and ventilation: Air is circulated by a long life computer grade fan which, coupled with the unique grill with optimised air diffuser leads to extremely even air temperature throughout the egg chamber. Fresh air is controlled with a vent slider and humidity is provided by water in two reservoirs in the base. Egg Handling: To accommodate eggs of different sizes the Octagon 20 Advance’s removable egg tray is supplied with dividers which the user can position to suit their eggs and so maximise the number of eggs that can be held. Eggs from as small as finches to as large as geese can be incubated and a guide to the numbers of a range of popular species which will fit is given in the specification table. Eggs are turned during incubation as the whole incubator is rocked from side to side – hence the octagonal cabinet ends. The Autoturn Cradle turns the eggs hourly but this can be done manually twice daily. |
