Overview of incubators Blitz

In domestic poultry farming, the most affordable and easy-to-manage incubation units are traditionally used. We bring to your attention an overview of Blitz incubators, which have been produced in Orenburg for over 20 years. The manufacturer offers several series of installations with different capacities and varying degrees of automation.

You can easily choose the modification that is most suitable in terms of cost and capabilities for breeding not only chickens and ducklings, but also other household and decorative birds.

General design features of Blitz incubators

The official website of the manufacturer presents 10 options for incubators that are currently being produced. We will not dwell on industrial models with a capacity of 400-800 eggs, we will pay attention to more modest household modifications that allow you to hatch from 48 to 120 chickens per tab. According to the reviews of the owners, they are the most in demand.

Among the design features of Blitz egg incubators are:

• Compact, lightweight, thermally insulated enclosure with a variety of interior and exterior finishes depending on the model.
• Fan with a 12-volt electric heating element and thermal sensors that ensure the stability of the temperature required for incubation inside the device.
• Ventilation system and maintaining the required level of humidity, including water baths and a control valve.
• A device for automatically switching to a backup battery in the event of a power outage in the main network.
• Rotary mechanism that allows you to regularly change the position of the egg tray in automatic mode.

Thanks to such constructive solutions, all incubators allow organizing the hatching of domestic and decorative birds with little or no human intervention. It is enough to load the hatching egg into the tray, set the required temperature and humidity values, fill the baths with water - the rest will be done by automation. The owner only needs to replenish the water tanks every 3-4 days. And the backup power system will prevent spoilage of hatching eggs even during long power outages, because one car battery with a capacity of 55 Ah is enough for almost a day.

Comparative characteristics of incubators Blitz table

Incubators Blitz - budget models

extruded foam 3 cm thick is used in the production of the bodies of these incubators But this does not interfere with ensuring hatchability at the level of 80-100%, depending on the quality of the hatching egg and compliance with the temperature regime.

This category includes the following models:

• Blitz Norma 72 is an incubator with a durable heat-insulating body that allows you to maintain the temperature with an accuracy of 0.10C. Automatic turn of the tray with eggs is carried out every 2 hours, the ability to maintain humidity in the range from 40 to 80% with manual topping up of water, automated transition to backup power.

• Blitz PC refers to specialized hatchers equipped with more accurate devices for controlling and maintaining humidity, which is especially important in the last days of the cycle. The range of possible settings is 40-85%, while the scale is graduated more accurately. The model is not equipped with an automatic tray rotation system, as this is not required at the final stage of incubation. Due to this, the price compared to Blitz Norm is almost halved.

General series of incubators Blitz

This line includes the Blitz 48 and Blitz 72 models, which differ in body size and capacity. Among the features of the series are:

• Housing made of moisture-resistant plywood, resistant to impacts, mechanical damage.
• Expanded polystyrene thermal insulation circuit to minimize heat loss.
• The inner surface of the incubator is covered with galvanized metal, due to which, at the end of the next cycle, the installation is easy to wash, disinfect, and dry.
• The multi-layer construction of the case allowed to reduce the level of noise generated by the operating fan.
• The temperature is controlled by digital sensors and maintained by a thermostat with an accuracy of 0.1 degrees.
• The automatic tray rotation system changes the angle of position every 2 hours, which ensures uniform heating of the entire batch of hatching eggs.
• The required humidity level is maintained by changing the air exchange rate inside the incubator, and is regulated by changing the position of the valve.
• To simplify filling the trays with water, the device is equipped with a funnel with an extension hose, which eliminates the need to remove the tray loaded with eggs.

Backup power is implemented by automatically switching to the battery in the event of a power outage in the central network. The reverse transition also occurs automatically.

Blitz digital incubators

This series includes Blitz Digital 48, 72, 120 models. Structurally, the incubators practically do not differ from the basic modifications

- the same cases, systems for turning the tray, monitoring and adjusting humidity. Other features that draw attention to themselves are:

• The system of automatic switching between the main and backup power supply is equipped with a battery charger. After the restoration of the working power supply from the network, the battery is charged automatically. Now there is no need to remove and recharge the battery separately, which greatly simplifies the maintenance of the incubator.
• All models in this series are equipped with vacuum water dispensers, eliminating the need to replenish containers to maintain humidity every 3-4 days. This eliminates the need to pour liquid through a funnel with an extension tube, as in the basic models. Water is poured into a bottle and attached from the outside, the procedure itself does not cause any difficulties.

Whichever model of Blitz incubators you choose, read the instruction manual. In it you will find not only the technical features of the installations, but also recommendations for choosing incubation modes for different birds. This will increase hatchability up to 95 and even 100% when using high quality hatching eggs.
