Contact Incubation

The new Brinsea Z7 Raptor and K7 combination provide optimum conditions for the full incubation period with improved control and reliability.

3rd Generation no compromise contact incubator for unbeatable hatch rates with wild species, developed in Conjunction with world-leading bird of prey breeders. Patented Contact Incubation Technology for improved embryonic development and greater numbers of healthy chicks.The K7 provides extremely tight control of temperature and humidity of the moving-air egg chamber using the latest version of Brinsea's proven incubation software. The floor is driven by a precision rack and pinion with integral turn counter which detects and displays the number of floor movements so you always know your eggs have been turned, even when you are not present.

Contaq Z7 Raptor 3rd generation Contact Incubator

Through a simple 4 button menu-driven interface and high visibility OLED display the user can control:

* Incubator Temperature (T1) – of the air temperature above the contact skin
* Cooling – duration and interval that the skin is retracted from the eggs,simulating the bird leaving the nest.
* Turning – the interval and duration of egg turning.
* Temperature Alarm – warns the user if the incubator or room temperature falls outside user-settable limits.
* Contaq Temperature (T2) – The unique contact thermometer provides a second, continuous and independent measurement of the contact skin temperature (T2) which corresponds to the egg shell temperature – eliminating the need for infra-red ear thermometers (or similar). T2 will normally be slightly lower than T1 depending on room conditions, and it is T2 that the user should set the incubator to.
* Comprehensive instructions are supplied to get the best out of this advanced system.

K7 Moving Air Incubator and Hatcher

The 4 button menu driven interface and high visibility OLED display allows control of:

* Temperature – displayed in °C or °F.
* Humidity – displayed in %RH and with automatic control.
* Cooling – optional timed egg cooling to mimic the bird temporarily leaving the nest, which has been shown to improve hatch rates.
* Turning – the interval and duration of egg turning.
* Temperature Alarm – warns the user if the incubator or room temperature falls outside user-settable limits.
