Control system
The Octagon® 20 Eco controls temperature with
high accuracy using a proven proportional
band electronic controller with easy tamper-proof
adjustment. A flashing indicator shows that
the incubation temperature is being controlled
steadily and temperature is monitored with
a purpose made liquid in glass thermometer.

 |
Cabinet
The high quality egg incubator cabinet is
entirely injection moulded from high grade
ABS which makes it tough and easy to clean.
The base is double skinned and foam filled
to reduce heat loss leading to lower electricity
consumption and better temperature distribution.
The top of the incubator is clear allowing
good visibility of the eggs and chicks.

 |
Humidity and ventilation.
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.

Egg
Handling
To accommodate eggs of different sizes the
Octagon® 20 Eco’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
as small as finches to as large as geese can
be incubated and a capacity guide for a range
of popular species 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.
This can be done manually at least twice each
day or turning is performed automatically
if the incubator is used with the optional
Autoturn Cradle which turns the eggs hourly.

loss of eggs in the event of failure, however
