Encore Dedicated Egg Warming & Cooling Chamber

Product catalog summary

Introduction
The document discusses the Encore Dedicated Egg Warming & Cooling Chamber, a solution for hatcheries to maintain egg quality during prolonged storage. It highlights the risks of reduced hatchability and chick quality when eggs are stored for more than seven days and presents a method to mitigate these risks through controlled temperature changes.

The Challenge
The challenge addressed is the need for an environment that allows precise temperature adjustments to improve hatchability. The Encore System uses Avida's single-stage superior airflow, combining hot water and electric heating with cold water cooling to manage egg mass temperature efficiently.

The Solution
Research indicates that 60-70% of hatchability losses can be recovered with the Encore System, which implements the SPIDES (Short Periods of Incubation During Egg Storage) concept. The system is compatible with Avida machines and is available in sizes for 12, 18, or 24 trolleys. It integrates with the Gen IV Control System and the Maestro Hatchery Management System for comprehensive hatchery management.

How it Works
The Encore System follows the SPIDES principle by gradually increasing the temperature, maintaining it, and then cooling it to room temperature. This cycle can be repeated based on the storage duration. The system requires hot and chilled water sources and integrates with other ChickMaster solutions.

Additional Features
The document mentions various ChickMaster products and systems, including the Control Maestro Hatchery Management System, Avida Single-Stage Incubation, and the Ventilation CC3 Climate Control System, among others.

Encore Dedicated Egg Warming & Cooling Chamber-1

Encore Dedicated Egg Warming & Cooling Chamber The Challenge Hatcheries that hold eggs for longer than 7 days risk losses in hatchability and reduced chick quality. Performing short periods of heating and cooling during egg storage minimizes these risks, but it is necessary to create an environment where accurate temperature changes can be efficiently applied to the daily operations of a hatchery. The Solution Utilizing the principle of Avida's single-stage superior airflow, the Encore System utilizes hot water and electric heating and cold water cooling in order to raise or reduce the temperature of the entire egg mass evenly, efficiently and economically. SPIDES: Short Periods of Incubation During Egg Storage Research has shown that it is possible to recover 60 - 70% of hatchability lost when storage must be prolonged longer than a week. SPIDES is a growing concept in incubation management, and the Encore System is the best way to introduce it to a hatchery. • Chamber conditions adjusted by standard Gen IV Control System • Maestro Hatchery Management System allows for integrated hatchery management • Has the same footprint as our Avida range of machines, supplied in sizes equivalent to 12, 18 or 24 trolleys

Encore Dedicated Egg Warming & Cooling Chamber-2

Time (hours) Encore follows the SPIDES principle by applying a raise in temperature, followed by a period of sustained temperature, then a cooling period. Farm or setter trolleys of your choice are placed into the Encore chamber. The Gen IV control increases the temperature gradually, sustains it for a few hours and then manages the necessary decrease to reach the egg room temperature. This process can be repeated several times according to the total storage time of the eggs. The Encore Requires a source of pumped hot water and chilled water from the hatchery and integrates with several ChickMaster...
