The leading agro-industrial and food conglomerate Charoen

Pokphand Foods (CPF) and HatchTech Group have recently signed

a contract for the supply of HatchBrood Units and HatchTraveller

Chick Transport Systems for their operations in Indonesia

(PT Charoen Pokphand Jaya Farm (CPJF)). After having installed a

HatchBrood unit in Thailand, Charoen Pokphand Foods herewith

confirms its trust in HatchTech’s equipment by investing again in

the revolutionary solutions for brooding and chick transport.

Mr. Mathieu Woltring, HatchTech Director of Sales: “The first

days of a chicken’s life are known as the brooding period. In this

period, important developmental and physiological processes

occur. Controlling the brooding period, requires professionalism

and dedication. Chicks that hatch out of eggs from young breeders

require even more care during brooding than those that hatch out

of prime, or older breeder flocks. In traditional poultry houses,

these small ‘day olds’ face difficulties with the housing conditions,

which will be a direct cause of poor technical results.

For a professional company like CPJF, HatchBrood is a perfect

solution to completely control all the crucial environmental variables

during the brooding period. CPJF confirms to see the major benefits

of HatchBrood, especially for the small day old chicks. Field results

are continuously proving that excellent brooding leads to improved

overall technical results and financial benefits.”

The mission of Charoen Pokphand Indonesia is to produce and

market the highest quality day old chicks and food products.

HatchTech developed HatchBrood in line with this mission.

HatchBrood secures a perfect start of a chicken’s life, resulting in

strong and healthy animals. The perfect start in HatchBrood results

in less use of antibiotics and a significantly lower mortality during

the grow out period.

Mr. Carel Neervoort, Sales Director Asia: “The installation of

HatchBrood at CPJF follows the installation of various HatchBrood

units in Asia (Thailand, Japan and Indonesia). HatchTraveller

transport systems are transporting millions of chickens per week.

We are happy with that a rapidly increasing number of clients

is recognizing the importance of excellent brooding and chick

transport!”

German based, Wimex Agrarprodukte, one of Europe’s leading

producer and exporter of broiler hatching eggs and day old

chicks has recently agreed upon the delivery of the largest

available model of HatchTraveller. The 13.6 meter long truck

will be supplied by Van Ravenhorst (the Netherlands) who holds

the license for building HatchTraveller’s in the Netherlands

and Germany. The unique HatchTraveller concept transports

significantly more day-old chicks -up to 30% per truckload-

compared to traditional transport systems of equal dimensions.

During a signing ceremony in Dohren, Germany, Mr. Michiel van

Veldhuisen (HatchTech Area Sales Manager Europe) and Daniel

Hüser (Hatchery Manager Brüterei Emsland) agreed upon another

extension of Brüterei Emsland. HatchTech will install its 16 x

MicroClimer Setter 115200 and its 16 x MicroClimer Hatcher 28800.

Brüterei Emsland started with a production of 400 thousand

doc/week in 2003. After a very successful period of growth, the

company currently produces 3.2 million doc/week, at the same

location, all incubated in HatchTech MicroClimer Setters and

Hatchers.

Recently, PT. Dinamika Megatama Citra (DMC), from Indonesia

signed the contract for the extension of their existing HatchTech

hatchery. After the installation of the new MicroClimer Setters,

DMC will have a total setting capacity of 380 thousand eggs per

week.

The leading agro-industrial and food conglomerate Charoen

Pokphand Foods (CPF) and HatchTech Group have recently signed

Efrochim Revivim 2012 – Agricultural Cooperative Society Ltd,

from Israel, and HatchTech have signed a contract for the

extension of the brand new hatchery project, which is currently

under construction. In the new contract both companies agree

upon the delivery of HatchTech Air Handling, Cooling and Heating

Equipment.

Venezuela based poultry company Avícola Mayupan C.A has

recently agreed upon purchasing a HatchTraveller, chick transport

system from HatchTech. The system ensures that the temperature

of every chick in the truck is kept at a constant 104°F – the neutral

body temperature zone.

Hatchery Beunder (Cobb GGP and GP), the Netherlands have

recently finished the complete refurnishing project of their

existing, traditional, hatchery equipment, into HatchTech.

In 2004 the company started to test their first MicroClimer Setters.

The results of the test were satisfactory. Today, the family owned

company is proud to provide Cobb customers in Europe with

absolute maximum chick quality by hatching all their eggs in

HatchTech MicroClimer Setters and hatchers.

In hatcheries, it’s essential to have a ventilation system that controls

environmental parameters such as temperature, air flow, and relative

humidity. Within such systems, Air Handling Units filter and condition

the air to a preferred temperature level. But how can one assure the

perfect humidity level?

Disadvantages of Traditional Humidification

In all climates, the relative humidity of the air sometimes can get

so low that none of today’s traditional humidification systems on

the market have sufficient capacity to bring humidity up to the

necessary level. Air humidification is traditionally done by sprayers

or pad-cooling systems. These methods, however, have several

disadvantages in terms not only of quality (i.e., the level at which the

water evaporates into the air), but also of maintenance: pad-cooling

systems can freeze in the winter and dirty easily, whereas sprayer

systems, which get blocked by calcium deposits, require frequent

attention. An additional disadvantage is the large droplet size,

created by these traditional methods.

HatchTech Pre-humidification Unit: 24/7 perfect air supply

with optimum level of humidity

The HatchTech Pre-Humidification Unit is part of the ventilation

system, and is positioned just after the Air Handling Unit.

The Pre-Humidification Unit, in turn, contains six U-Vaporators™.

The unit measures the relative humidity of the air. If the relative

humidity is too low, the controller calculates how much additional

humidification is necessary, and activates the appropriate number

of the U-Vaporators™ to create it. The U-Vaporators™ emit small,

rapid vibrations, which create extremely small water droplets.

The result is a 24/7 air supply with an optimum level of humidity

for the setters and hatchers in your hatchery.

Pre-humidification for a stable and optimum incubation environment

When more of the air conditioning takes place before it enters the

setter or hatcher, far fewer adjustments have to be made to the air

when it is inside the machine itself, which means that there is little

to no fluctuation in the environmental conditions in the setters and

hatchers. Such stable and uniform environment is one of the key

factors in achieving optimal and uniform chick quality.

Stable environment in all seasons

Day and night, winter and summer, wet and dry weather. All these

factors impact humidity levels. With the HatchTech Pre-Humidification

Unit, sufficient humidification can be created under all climatic

conditions, ensuring that optimal environmental conditions can be

maintained throughout the incubation process in order to achieve

superior chick quality.

A Practical Example

The need for pre-humidification after heating up air

Before outside air enters the incubator, the air passes an air

handling unit. Imagine a cold winter, with temperatures far

below zero ºC. The air handling unit will be programmed to

heat up the air temperature to approximately 25 ºC. Rule of

thumb: 1 degree ºC increase in temperature, results in 3%

lower Relative Humidity. So; heating up very cold air

(let’s assume -15 ºC), to 25 ºC, lowers the relative humidity

with 120%. In other words: humidification is needed to create

a good humidity level for incubation (approximately 50%).

The HatchTech Pre-Humidification Unit assures that humidity

levels are perfect prior to air entering your setter or hatcher!
