-Unrivalled accuracy : Precise control of temperature, humidity and ventilation to create the ideal incubation conditions.

-Rock-solid reliability : Robust equipment, manufactured to the highest standards, ensuring consistent, long-lasting performance.

-Constant innovation : We incorporate the latest technological advances to continually improve the efficiency of your operations.

-Personalised support : Our team of experts guides you every step of the way to optimise the use of our products and maximise your results.

Building

Dimensions : The length, width and height of the pillars and the slope of the roof are defined according to the specifics of the project (technical constraints of the site, local climatic conditions, etc.)
Frame : This is made up of steel pillars and framework, combined with galvanised bolts to guarantee the strength and stability of the building. The design can vary depending on the area of installation and complies with Eurocodes standards, ensuring reliability and strength. The stability of the building is enhanced by bracing elements on the long sides and a system of bracing elements along the slopes for the roof.
Roof and cladding : These are made up of sandwich panels incorporating polyurethane foam insulation, with two sides in lacquered steel, together with fasteners, edges and ridges, ensuring increased strength and excellent durability.
Partitions and ceilings : These are made up of sandwich panels with polyurethane foam insulation. We adapt the thickness of the insulation according to the area, which will be different for the cold rooms, the slaughterhouse, the changing rooms and the offices. The height of the false ceiling will be determined according to the building’s framework.
Openings : These are defined according to the dimensions of the building, the equipment present and the specific needs of the project. We offer service doors, sliding doors, sectional doors, revolving doors, frames or panel hatches.

Incubation and hatching

Incubator : We offer a wide range of incubators. For example, the S576 incubator has a capacity of 57,600 eggs, with electronic temperature and humidity control, as well as automatic ventilation and an air/water cooling system. It is equipped with incubation trolleys with plastic trays and offers options such as a turbo snail motor, mechanical turning as well as humidification for trays and cylinders.
Hatchery : We offer a wide range of hatcheries. For example, the H192 hatcher has a capacity of 19,200 eggs and the same technical features as the S576 incubator. It is also equipped with hatching trolleys with plastic trays and allows humidification by tray and cylinder.
Miscellaneous equipment : We offer additional equipment such as professional candling tables for efficient egg quality control, transfer tables to ensure smooth passage of eggs between the various stages of the process, and a transfer handle system, comprising a pump and vacuum gun, supplied with hoses and connection accessories for precise and safe handling. We also offer pneumatic vaccinators for fast, accurate application, tables with adjustable legs for an ergonomic workspace and hand-washing facilities to ensure optimum hygiene.
Chiller system : For incubators and hatcheries, an air/water cooling system fitted with an external automatic hydraulic bypass, an automatic filling kit and a remote control is recommended.
Chilled water network : Connecting the chiller to the machines requires a chilled water network maintained at between 5°C and 15°C. Installation includes all the essential equipment, such as pipes, elbows, fittings and adhesives, to ensure safe, efficient circulation.

Air conditioning and ventilation

Air conditioning system : This is designed to maintain controlled temperatures in each area of the farm. For the pre-incubation storage room, it includes a Mono-Split unit and a ceiling-mounted unit adapted to low temperatures, with a minimum set temperature of 12°C, as well as a network of insulated refrigeration links and wired control boxes. For the incubation, transfer, hatching and tri-vaccination rooms, the system is equipped with mono-split units and cassettes, enabling a minimum temperature of 17°C to be maintained. This system is also complemented by a network of insulated refrigeration links and wired control boxes for optimum temperature management.
Ventilation system : Designed to ensure an optimum environment in every area of the farm. It includes specific equipment for the disinfection room, the incubation room, the hatching room and the down box, each equipped with fans with grilles and variable speeds for precise control of air flow. Ducts, elbows and grilles are used to direct the air efficiently to all areas. The air inlet grilles are fitted with filters to guarantee the quality of the circulating air, while the entire system is regulated by a general ventilation control panel, allowing centralised and optimal management of ventilation throughout the farm.

Electricity

Socket outlets, switches and lighting : Each room over 30m² is equipped with a socket outlet and LED lighting providing an average of 500 lux at 1m from the floor. The boxes consist of one 3P or 3P+N socket and two 1P+N sockets. Switches are installed in work areas and motion detectors in circulation areas. Wiring includes cable trays and junction boxes for clean installation.
General electrical cabinet : This protects the incubators, hatcheries, chillers, air conditioners, ventilation and lighting outlets. It also includes an alarm box with transmitter and remote antenna to guarantee the safety of the whole system.

Installation and transport

Installation : We offer a complete solution in terms of services, for “turnkey” installation of your buildings and/or equipment. The supervisors who carry out these services work on the basis of 10 hours a day, 6 days a week. All our supervisors are certified and have all the necessary skills to carry out the work.
Not included in the installation : It is important to include, in addition, the supervisor’s travel expenses, in particular return plane tickets, accommodation, meals and transport if the supervisor’s accommodation is far from the site. Moreover, the equipment required for the installation, such as lifting equipment, height access devices, as well as the unloading of containers and the transport of equipment to the installation site, remain at the customer’s expense.
Transport : We send all goods to the desired seaport by sea groupage or by containers, 20 or 40 feet long. Packing is to be confirmed by the logistics department when the order is placed.
