The Z6 is 3 incubators in one:
- Contact Incubator for stronger faster development of embryos in early stages of incubation.
- Conventional Moving Air Incubator for greater control of humidity in later stages of incubation.
- Hatcher with dedicated hatching mode and hatching trays.
The Z6 is the latest high performance egg incubator to feature patented Contact Incubation Technology (CIT) which accurately mimics the nest conditions and warms the egg by contact with the top of the shell.
The Z6 also operates as a very high performance conventional moving air incubator or as a top quality hatcher with a dedicated hatching mode as part of its control system.
To control the CONTAQ Z6 Brinsea has developed a fully flexible system using an 8 bit microcontroller with a 16 character display. Through a simple 3 button, menu-driven
interface the breeder can control:
- Temperature – of the skin in contact mode or air temperature in moving air mode. Improved temperature stability with Enhanced Proportional Derivative temperature control to eliminate overshoot.
- Humidity level – of the egg chamber
- Cooling – duration and interval that the skin is retracted from the eggs, simulating the bird leaving the nest.
- Turning – direction, angle and frequency of egg rotation with option to randomize egg turning within user defined limits.
- Alarm – for high and low temperature. Internal alarm sounder and message on the display.
- Fault finding – built-in Engineering Mode allows the user to monitor virtually all components including: heater, fans, motors, alarms, etc. The expert can override recommended default values.
- Power Back-up – battery may be connected at same time as mains for auto back-up.
Designed for ease of sterilization and long operational life. High quality stainless steel and galvanized steel cabinet construction with integral heat retaining insulation panels for optimal electrical efficiency and temperature control.
The Contaq Z6 front loading drawer design gives ideal access to eggs and chicks whilst being stackable and space efficient.
The CONTAQ Z6 can incubate eggs of different sizes simultaneously. As a guide, typical maximum egg capacities are: Quail 152, Hen 60, Goose 24, Macaw 100, Parakeet 200.
The professional breeder or advanced amateur now has an incubator which can be relied on to produce consistently higher yields of precious eggs.
