Hygiene:
With hygiene a top priority, the TLC brooders/Intensive Care Units have been carefully designed to make cleaning as easy as possible. The doors and working parts compartments are removable allowing the cabinets to be scrubbed. The high gloss finish of the ABS plastic cabinet makes deep cleaning a breeze.
To reduce the risk of infection Brinsea incorporate Biomaster Antimicrobial Protection into our incubator and brooder cabinets during manufacture. Biomaster Protection is embedded with the plastic itself which prevents the growth of harmful bacteria helping to provide the optimum environment for young birds and animals. Proven to quickly reduce bacterial growth by up to 99.9%.
Disinfecting tip:
Please make sure that disinfectant is thoroughly rinsed off plastic parts after cleaning and avoid alcohol based solutions to avoid gradual embrittlement of plastic parts, particularly around the hinges.
Air Circulation:
Airflow in the TLC brooders/Intensive Care Units has been carefully optimized to ensure consistent distribution of heat, so that all animals are at the same temperature but with the fan maintaining gentle airspeed so that down and dust are not blown around.
The design of the air circulation system results in a slight positive pressure within the chamber which resists the inflow of any unfiltered air from outside. This use of slight pressure differences is a proven method in hospital isolation wards to resist the spread of airborne bio-hazards.
This positive pressure results in a small but essential airflow through the brooder chamber with fresh air drawn into the chamber and stale air is discharged around the door and through the adjustable vent.
As internal air is circulated in the TLC-40 and 50 it passes through two internal 2-stage electrostatic filters which remove airborne dust, spores and bacteria. All the filters are washable and replacement filter sets are available from Brinsea® or from your local stockist. To order quote part number HD021.
Humidity :
Warm air at brooding temperature can result in dehydration of the hatchlings so the TLC-40 and 50 brooders incorporate a water reservoir over which air is circulated to increase humidity within the chamber. The water reservoir is filled from outside the unit and is clear, allowing the user to monitor the water level. The reservoir contains white evaporating block to help increase humidity and these blocks are available from Brinsea® Products or your local stockist. The water reservoir is removable for cleaning.
