Overview of IFC Farm Incubators

Farmers, individual entrepreneurs involved in poultry farming and the sale of young poultry are most suitable for incubation units with a capacity of up to 1-2 thousand chicken eggs. Ordinary villagers also use such equipment, acquiring one device in a pool of money for several families. We bring to your attention an overview of the IFH incubators produced by the Omsk Production Association Irtysh.

What models are included in the series

The manufacturer offers a whole series of economical medium-sized IFC incubators with a capacity of 250 to 4000 chicken eggs. Installations are used to organize the hatching of chicks of any agricultural and domestic poultry - chickens, ducks, geese, turkeys, quails. Incubators make it possible to maintain temperature and humidity conditions with high accuracy, due to which the hatchability of chicks reaches a level of 80-100%, depending on the quality of the hatching egg used.

The equipment can be installed in residential, commercial and industrial heated premises with a temperature in the range of 10–35 degrees. IFC incubators are easy to operate and maintain, economical and do not create significant noise during operation. The series includes the following most popular models according to customer reviews.

Design features of IFC incubators

All IFC incubators have a similar design, the main differences are in the volume of the case, the number of heating blocks. The following design features distinguish IFH from devices from other manufacturers:

• A rigid frame case filled with thermal insulation panels, hermetically closing doors - thanks to this, heat losses are minimized, which made it possible to ensure a small power consumption of the incubator.
• The multi-tray scheme allows you to place a larger number of eggs in a limited volume.
• In two-chamber modifications, separate heating devices and water containers are installed to maintain the required humidity.
• Incubation and hatch parameters are set from the remote control or can be selected from available programs.
• Eggs are rotated automatically.
• The alarm system notifies you of a power outage and an increase in temperature above the set value.

Advantages of the IFH incubator series

Based on the feedback from the owners, the main advantages of the IFH series incubators can be distinguished:

• High accuracy of temperature maintenance, the error does not exceed 0.5 degrees.
• The ability to maintain humidity in the range from 40 to 70% with an error of no more than 8%.
• Low energy consumption, which reduces the cost of hatching chicks.
• The actual temperature and humidity level is displayed on the indicator of the control panel.
• The service life declared by the manufacturer is at least 7 years, in fact the devices work much longer.
• The ability to remove trays makes it much easier to clean and disinfect the incubator before laying eggs.
• Dual-chamber devices allow you to maintain optimal temperature and humidity separately for incubation and hatching.
• The system of automatic rotation of trays is implemented. At the same time, it is possible to control the mechanism in manual mode and turn it off for the withdrawal period.
• Despite the increased volume of the incubation chamber, the temperature difference does not exceed 0.8 degrees. Air circulation is provided by the fans of the heating unit.
• Due to the low power consumption, these stationary incubators are connected to a conventional rubble mains 230V +/- 10V.
• The presence of glazed doors allows you to visually control the process of hatching birds.

We also note the fact that manufacturers are ready to quickly send IFC incubators to any region, the average shipment time does not exceed 1-3 days. Practice has shown the expediency of purchasing such installations for medium and large farms engaged in poultry farming on an industrial scale.
