1. Full-automatic Egg-Turning

Behind the incubator, there is installed a turning-motor (exterior, covered), which is connected with the trays by a push-rod and the white connectors (powder-coated aluminium) - the motor pushes and pulls the trays automatically forward and backward. For best success in brooding, all our incubators do 12 turnings per day. With connectors of different length, you can turn any number of trays. Of course, this turning can be reprogrammed or deactivated by you for hatching-phase.

2. Full-automatic Humidification

All HEKA-incubators with automatic humidification are equipped with an absolutely fully-automatic humidification. Regularly we include a water-canister, which is the water reservoirs for the humidification. It's also possible to connect the incubator directly to your water line. Gladly we then adjust your machine for this higher water pressure - a short message is enough. A float valve regulates the water supply out of the canister or out of the water line. Everytime while heating (continuously at heating up; in short impulses, if set-temperature is reached), a water-heating gets acticated, which heats the water and evaporates it. A failure-free and reliable technique for best success in brooding.

3a) Olymp-Version

• HEKA-Micro-Processor-Control with unrivalled precision in temperature and humidity
• Control with double-thermostat, alarm, programmable turning and cooling-down
• Special-ventilator with nearly 0 specific heat
• Plastic-trays with nearly endless lifetime
  

Our HEKA-Micro-Processor-Control is the absolutely best ref. control accuracy of temperature and humidity.
In developlment of this control we made everything to reach the absolutely highest precision. For balancing the technically conditioned variance of sensors, in this control exist different points/values of calibration. With these we can adjust the temperature curve and thus the variance of sensors is balanced (same counts for humidity). In the most relevant (and programmable) temperature range of 36-39°C the control even switches into an even more precisely calibrated fine-control-range, so that we reach the highest possible precision of control. Even if you measure temperature inside the incubator with a high-precision-thermometer in hundredth-degrees, you will hardly see fluctuations.
Not necessary for superb success in incubating, which you also will have with all our other controls - but looking for the absolutely best leads to our Olymp-version (or the series "Euro-Lux" or "Favorit-Olymp").
Furthermore, for highest fail-safety the control is mounted in a completely separated case and is equipped with alarm and double-thermostat, which automatically activate at 0,5°C above incubating-temperature.

3b) Eco-Version

Simple version without the advantages of our HEKA-Micro-Processor-Control described above. But the special-ventilator with nearly 0 specific-heat is also installed in this Eco-Version - and the trays are also made of plastic. The control also has a double-thermostat, but no cooling-down-timer. The turning just can be switched on/off with fixed 12 turnings per day - it's not possible to change the frequency or duration of turning in this Eco-version. Furthermore, this Eco-Control needs ca. 30 minutes after starting to keep temperature precisely - but without effecting success in incubating. Humidity fluctuates permanently ca. 1% around the set-value. Also here: without any negative effect to incubating.

4. Insulated Glazing

All incubators of the series "HEKA-Favorit" are equipped with double glazing. The insulation value is much better in comparison to single glazing, whereby the power-consumption decreases. Further, insulated glazing begins to steam up just up from ~80% humidity - beyond those values, which are needed normally.

5. Plastic Trays

The plastic trays (against wooden trays) offer the advantage of a hygienically easy-to-clean surface: especially for the usage of our incubators in laboratories and research facilities an inestimable advantage - but equally for brooders, who are keen on cleanliness. Because the plastic trays are produced with a smaller frame (at the same stability), they offer a 15% higher capacity - an optimal price-performance ratio!
