X-Streamer™ HD

High Density incubator engineered for higher capacity

Incubating at an increased egg density

The growing demand for poultry meat continues to push up the average capacity of hatcheries, creating the need for bigger buildings and more incubators to allow for the necessary output. This, in turn, implies a rise in costs. But what if there was another way?

The X-Streamer™ High Density (HD) is specially designed and engineered for more capacity. HD setters and hatchers can house 12% more eggs, while keeping the same footprint and delivering the same high level of healthy birds after hatch compared to a standard X-Streamer™. In this way, you will need fewer machines to achieve the total hatchery capacity you have in mind.

X-Streamer™ HD: Overcoming capacity challenges

Everybody wants to do more with less. Unfortunately, that is not always possible, especially when it comes to increasing egg density in incubators. It is not as simple as placing more eggs in standard setters and hatchers and then expecting them to perform to the same level when the incubators themselves have not fundamentally changed. That is why, at Petersime, we rethought the entire engineering of our standard single-stage incubator to offer you a special incubator that perfectly accommodates for extra egg density: X-Streamer™ HD. Thanks to its unique engineering, Petersime’s HD solution ensures you can increase your hatchery’s capacity while lowering the investment costs and boosting the output of healthy chicks.

1. Increased egg setting capacity

2. Reduced investment costs

The X-Streamer™ HD uses honeycomb-structured setter trays instead of traditional matrix-shaped trays. The honeycomb structure allows you to set 12% more eggs on the same surface. Accordingly, loading 12% extra eggs into an incubator of the same footprint results in higher demands in terms of cooling and heating. That is why our HD setters and hatchers feature tailor-made components to perfectly handle the extra egg density while preserving their energy efficiency.

As the X-Streamer™ HD holds 12% more eggs while occupying the same footprint as a standard X-Streamer™, you will need fewer machines to achieve the total hatchery capacity you have in mind. As a result, your hatchery will be smaller and your land purchasing and construction costs reduced. In addition, thanks to the honeycomb trays, egg transportation will be more compact and thus cheaper.

3. Maximum output of healthy chicks As part of the X-Streamer™ product family, the X-Streamer™ HD brings powerful built-in intelligence to the hatchery that helps you maximise your profits. Moreover, every X-Streamer™ HD is equipped with Petersime’s patented EmbryoResponse Incubation™ technology. Your benefit: maximum results, minimum costs.

Engineered for higher capacity

This is how X-Streamer™ HD makes the difference:

f The unique honeycomb tray (HD tray) can hold 12% more eggs for the same machine size while keeping the airflow between the eggs optimal. f As the additional egg load requires higher cooling capacity for the higher egg mass, the X-Streamer™ HD has an increased cooling capacity to perfectly handle the 12% higher heat production in the machine. The cooling coils have an increased diameter, resulting in a larger total cooling surface.

When a larger number of eggs are placed in a non-adapted incubator, issues will arise from the very start. The heating system will not assure a short heat-up time for the higher egg mass. The trolleys and turning system will suffer under the heavier egg weight. The second half of the incubation cycle becomes even more problematic, as the embryos are exothermic and produce a high heat load at this stage. Stronger cooling, extra air mixing and more ventilation in the machine are required.

f The special heating elements ensure the same short preheating and warm-up times as a standard X-Streamer™, even though the egg mass is higher. f To guarantee a perfect airflow, the pulsators on the X-Streamer™ HD are equipped with five large blades and the air outlet size is increased significantly to provide better ventilation. This ensures the right rate

of air movement and keeps a uniform temperature bandwidth throughout the incubator cabinet, regardless of the extra egg density. f Dedicated incubation profiles are available for the X-Streamer™ HD to accommodate for the extra egg density requirements. f OvoScan™ and Dynamic Weight Loss System™ (DWLS™), two of Petersime’s patented Embryo-Response Incubation™ technologies, come in a remodelled HD version to fit the HD tray design. The X-Streamer™ HD is guaranteed to achieve the same results in terms of hatchability, chick quality and post-hatch performance as a standard X-Streamer™. f More changes include a stronger tray turning system and more robust trolleys to handle the extra weight.

A complete operational structure As the honeycomb tray allows setting 12% more eggs in an incubator of the same footprint, it goes without saying that the increased egg load also requires more robust trolleys and a stronger tray turning system. At Petersime, we stand for total solutions and offer all the equipment you need to accommodate for increased egg density.

Honeycomb-structured HD traysays f Comfortable, easy handling For the HD solution, four compact, easy-to-handle 84 egg setter trays are used per trolley layer instead of two large and heavy trays. All four trays can be slid onto the tray holder from one side, making both automation and manual egg handling easier. Thanks to its reduced size and weight, the tray can also be held in one hand while manually collecting eggs.

f Accommodating all egg sizes The tray design provides maximum protection for hatching eggs of all sizes. The tray pockets are designed to hold the large eggs produced by old flocks while supports are provided to keep the smaller eggs of young flocks in place.

f Automation-compatible design The HD tray is compatible with today’s automation systems. This implies more eggs will be handled at the same time, significantly reducing your throughput time.

f Safe, secure stacking Depending on the workflow of your hatchery, you can opt for a stackable version of the HD tray. These stackable trays can be transported on pallets from farm to hatchery.

HD trolleys f Heavy-duty tray turning system The tray turning system has been reinforced. This ensures that, despite the heavier egg load, the trolleys will still turn smoothly to the correct angle without causing any damage to the developing embryos.

f Ergonomic design Despite the extra weight, the trolleys are just as ergonomic and easy to manoeuvre as any other Petersime trolley. They can be rolled in and out of the incubators with minimum effort.

f Robust structure The castors of the HD setter and hatcher trolleys are sturdier than their standard equivalent. Moreover, the hanging bars of the setter trolleys have been reinforced.
