General Information; Transport And Handling Instructions - Borotto Lumia 8 Instruction Manual

6 – General information
The LUMIA series incubator has been designed for hatching chicks of hen, pheasant, guinea fowl, quail, grey
partridge, grouse, ducks (Muscovy/ common/wild duck, goose, etc.), peacock, turkey, rock partridge, pigeon,
Virginia quail, exotic birds and birds of prey.
The incubator is made with a special engineering polymer in high HEAT-RESISTANT ABS, which makes the machine
solid and sturdy. The material is also provided with special BIOMASTER® silver-based ion antimicrobial additive to
destroy any bacterial flora that may develop inside the incubator.
The incubator is equipped with an automatic variable egg turning unit that automatically tilts the incubated eggs.
The microprocessor inside is programmed to regularly change the inclination time, always varying the tilt degree
of the eggs differently, exactly as it happens inside a nest.
The heat required for incubation is generated by an electrical resistor controlled by a latest-generation digital PID
microcomputer control that makes it possible to regulate in a constant and precise manner the average internal
temperature, setting it with the buttons on the control panel.
Ventilation takes place by means of an axial fan that distributes the warm and humid air evenly.
The natural free surface humidification takes place thanks to the water contained in the trays stamped on the
bottom of the incubator, which are filled via two outer nozzles - a convenient system that no longer requires the
incubator to be opened.
NOTE: The incubator can also be equipped with an automatic SIRIO humidifier available from: www.borotto.com
