Brinsea octagon 20 advance ex incubator auto egg turn
The Brinsea Octagon 20 ADVANCE EX Automatic Turn Egg Incubator
Taking the guesswork out of egg incubation
The Octagon 20 Advance incubator is the solution to the incubation of small numbers of eggs. It provides the control and reliability that ensures top hatch rates, time after time.
Egg capacity of 24 hens eggs or equivalent
Simple and highly accurate digital control system giving:
Insulated for low energy use and optimal temperature distribution
Automatic egg turning cradle and optional humidity pump
The Octagon 20 Advance incubator builds on decades of success of earlier Octagon 20 s with an all new intelligent design combining latest digital and materials technology with Brinsea s 30 years of experience.
The result is an easy to use, accurate and high performance incubator with exactly the right controls to give the hatching results you need.
The Octagon 20 Advance is listed in this offerinig as the EX form which includes full automatic control of humidity.
This flexibility and value mean the Octagon 20 series remains the ideal choice whether you are breeding macaws or geese, hens or peafowl.
The latest technology in a familiar shape
The specially designed control system is the heart of the Octagon 20 Advance EX. In normal mode it shows the incubation temperature and humidity to very high levels of accuracy. A simple menu allows the user to change the incubation settings. Features include high and low temperature alarm and choice of C or F. The menu also allows full control of humidity with the optional Advance Humidity Pump (see Octagon 20 Advance EX below).
The high quality incubator cabinet is entirely injection moulded from high grade ABS which makes it durable and easy to clean. The base is double skinned and foam filled to reduce heat loss meaning to lower electricity consumption and better temperature distribution. The top of the incubator is clear allowing good visibility of the eggs and chicks.
Air is circulated by a long life computer grade fan which, coupled with the unique grill with optimised air diffuser leads to extremely even air temperature throughout the egg chamber. Fresh air is controlled with a vent slider and humidity is provided by water in two reservoirs in the base.
To accommodate eggs of different sizes the Octagon 20 Advance EX s removable egg tray is supplied with dividers which the user can position to suit their eggs and so maximise the number of eggs that can be held. Eggs from as small as finches to as large as geese can be incubated and a guide to the numbers of a range of popular species which will fit is given in the specification table. Eggs are turned during incubation as the whole incubator is rocked from side to side hence the octagonal cabinet ends. The Autoturn Cradle turns the eggs hourly but this can be done manually twice daily.
Brinsea GuaranteeOctagon 20 Humidity
The EX version with the Humidity Pump effectively maintains the humidity level precisely at the level the user sets irrespective of changes in room humidity and so overcomes problems that can commonly lead to eggs failing to hatch especially in the latest stages of incubation. The Humidity Pump includes an external water reservoir eliminating the chances of water in the incubator harbouring bacteria.
The Octagon 20 Advance EX is an Octagon 20 Advance incubator with the matching Humidity Pump module to maintain total control of the incubation humidity level and additional foam lined egg dividers to protect fragile or damaged eggs and eliminate effects of jolts. The standard Octagon 20 Advance provides a readout of incubation humidity but requires the user to alter humidity to achieve the ideal average level.
The Humidity Pump module is designed to work seamlessly with the Octagon 20 Advance and can be purchased later as an upgrade from Octagon 20 Advance to Octagon 20 Advance EX.
Improved control for valuable and hard-to-incubate eggs.
