Tunnel Incubator

Tunnel Incubator

EI tunnel incubation series is equippedwith the advanced smart control technology, unifying the process of temperaturecontrol, humidity control, ventilation and egg-turning. Under the unifiedcontrol system, the equipment becomes more efficient and productive. Our incubator adopts LED largescreen double display with humanized and visualized interface. The interface,therefore, is more readable and easy to operate. In addition, many controlfunctions of practical use are also available with our incubator. For example,the temperature smart control function, historical temperature and alarm display, password protection andwater-cooling. The EI series surpasses other incubation equipment inthat it improved a lot in terms of the unified control system, the workingreliability and the simplified operating procedure. It is the No.1 choice ofmany large and medium sized hatcheries.

Characteristics
1.  Intelligent temperature adjustment system
By automatically sensing thetemperature variation inside the cabinet and imitating human experiences, themachine adjusts the temperature parameters and makes sure that the validincubation area accords with the different physiological requirements of theembryos.

2.  Fuzzy computer control
The machine uses fuzzycontrol technique to ensure the control of the parameters during the incubationprocess with fuzzy reasoning. With the technique being used, the equipmenteffectively solved the problems of interference among temperature control,humidity control, ventilation and air change. The incubation process thereforebecomes more stable and performs well. Moreover, together with central controland remote control functions, large-scale production can be achieved.

3.  Energy saving and high efficiency
The air flow inside thetunnel incubator is designed with an “O” type flow field, which contributed tohigh flow velocity and reduces energy consumption of the fans. For example, atunnel incubator with a capacity of 90,720 eggs consumes only 1.5 KW of totalpower with its six fans.

Main control system
1. The core components of the incubator are mainly imported fromabroad. For example, the control core adopts a specialized military chip fromUS ATMEL Company, the temperature measuring keycircuit, also called the computing amplifier and the temperature sensor comefrom US National Semiconductor Corporation and AD company respectively. The high quality humiditysensor and the AC contactor are from HUMIREL and Schneider Electric companiesin France.What’s more, the LCD and high-brightness digital tubes as dual display is employed,in which the LCD is imported from Japanese classic industrial-gradeseries.

2. The control system is equipped with computer groupcontrol interface.

3.  In order toguarantee the safety and continuity of the incubating process, an independentemergency control system is designed to back up the tunnel incubationequipment. The emergency control system has an independent power supply, thecontrol circuit and the conductivity meter, which serves to ensure theincubation process when the automatic control system fails to function. Also,the emergency control system plays a monitoring role while the automaticcontrol system is working, to avoid system failure and loss of control.

Cabinetmaterials
Three kinds of materials are used for producing cabinets.Namely, the 75mmpre-painted steel plate lined with polystyrene sandwich board, the fiberreinforced plastic(FRP) lined with sandwich benzene board and 44mm Owens plate. These materials togetherwith the plastic spraying aluminum assemble the whole cabinet, which is durableand pleasant.

The fan system
The tunnel incubator is equipped with 6 fans, and they are not allowed toinstall until a strict balancing test is given. The fans, however, are packedand transported independently. This kind of fan system reduces load and noiseeffectively during operation and on the other hand, it also ensures a longservice life.

The fan testing system includes the motor power and the fan blades detection,which are controlled by a phase loss protection board and the Hall Switchrespectively. Working together, the two detection systems ensure a safe andreliable running of the fan system.

Humidification system
The tunnel incubator uses a water-pressure spray humidifier toensure uniform humidification. The humidifier solenoid valve imported from Italy is stable and reliable with low failurerate, and the durable humidification sprayers originated from USA are durableas well with perfect atomization effect.

Egg-turning system
The tunnel incubator has altogether 12 trolleys and in orderto ensure high quality, all parts of the trolley are imported ones. The trolleyhas a three-side strengthening plug-in structure, which effectively preventsthe trolleys from affecting the temperature field in use due to deformation. Inaddition, the top of the trolleys uses a special stainless steel sheet to avoidcorrosion caused by humidification sprayers. Also, the improved wheels areflexible with light weight so that the work intensity can be reduced, which, onthe other hand, brings efficiency to the work. The trolley curtains, which aremade from polycarbonate materials, are anti-aging and portable and do notdistort. A particularly designed temperature measuring device is embedded inthe curtain for the operators to detect the temperatures of the embryos.

Encapsulation system
The cabinet of thetunnel incubator requires different encapsulating materials for differentparts, for example, the EPDM is applied to the cabinet entrance and the wicketsurroundings.
