PD SERIES Quick Guide - Remove all packing material carefully. - Please identify and check all parts of model. (see page 2-4 ) - Fill humidity tray with water (1 channel). Picture 1 - Place CS40Y hatchery basement and Conturn 30 to the base.
To supply oxygen in proper level and remove carbon dioxide, Air in ventilation is essential. In PD series models, ventilation is supplied automatically with fan and Air in air-in / air out holes. Air-out ventils are adjustable. Be sure that your air out ventils and air in holes are open.
PD SERIES Egg Handling Eggs must be collected carefully and stored in good conditions up to setting. Quality of eggs is very important for hatchery results. Sanitizing eggs before storage is an effective method for killing or decreasing the amount of microorganisms in egg surface. You must know that sanitation processes does not only kill the bacteria, but it can also kill the chick embryo in the egg.

PD SERIES Humidity Adjustment Humidity adjustment in incubators is for providing adequate water loss from eggs. And also high humidity levels for last 2-3 day are also very important. Egg needed to lose between 13-16 % water depending on the species during incubation period. Weighing of eggs during incubation is most trustable method to find proper humidity needed to good hatching results for particular poultry species.
PD SERIES Air out ventils can also be used for humidity adjustment Air out ventils 1/3 open Half open Full open Highest humidity Lowest humidity CAUTION! Never close air-out ventils more than 1/3. CAUTION! Air –out ventils should be fully open during hatching period.

PD SERIES Conturn 30 base and main turner bar have holes for adjustments of channels. In standard, it comes with 6 channels. It can be used for hen and smaller eggs without any change. Conturn 30 has 13 holes shown below.

PD SERIES CAUTION ! Never set eggs on the position small end top. Eggs must be set small end down or horizontal. QT13- Quail Egg Tray (optional) QT13 Standard egg rack holds 9 pc quail egg, QT13 quail rack are placed directly onto the standard channel and holds 13 quail eggs in one rack and help you to place smaller size quail eggs than normal.

PD SERIES GT03 GT03 – Goose Egg Rack ( optional) GooseEgg Rack has been designed for large goose eggs. Goose eggs must set racks as horizontal position, small end a bit lower about 10 degree. This helps chicks for easy hatching. And periodic cooling of goose eggs is advisable.
Cimuka presents Active Periodic Cooling (APC) function with 2 different modes as “cooling for a time (clt)” and “cooling for a set (clS)” Both modes have designed to simulate natural behavior.

PD SERIES Unfortunately, the best hatch rates can be reached with which parameter combination is not known for different species yet. But Cimuka Research Team is collecting data from our research center and customers for different APC application results and advises below details for Cooling for a Set (clS) mode.

PD SERIES Setting and Hatching Eggs must be hold in Conturn30 up to the last 2-3 day of incubation and then transferred to hatchery basement for last 3 day of incubation. Eggs are placed to hatchery tray at horizontal position freely. Don’t forget to change temperature/ humidity values last 2-3 day of incubation.
PD SERIES PD30 H / PD60 H manual turning PD series incubators without Conturn 30 can be used for last 3 day of incubation as a hatcher or can be used for all incubation period by manual turning. 180 degree manual turning should be done min 3 - 4 times in a day up to...
Egg Incubation is a continuous work. Please keep your model in your control. Cimuka or sale agents will not be held responsible for any loss of eggs or chicks under any circumstances. Almost all parts of Cimuka incubators have easy spare changing and plug and play features.
PD SERIES Factors Effecting Hatchability - Incorrect incubation settings. - Turning problems. - Very low or very high incubation room temperature. - Inadequate room ventilation. - High egg storage times . - Electric cut offs. - Inadequate or wrong sanitary procedures for eggs or machine.
PD SERIES Recommended Incubation Values Typical incubation periods and recommended temperature / humidity values for the species are given below. Incubation periods, temperature and humidity values can change for particular species. Please check literature or ask your dealer for information.
