Sportsman 1500 Digital Professional Incubator.
110-120VAC, 50/60 Hz, 325 Watts. TUV Listed. FREE Shipping in the U.S.A. except
Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico.
Removing the hatching tray
allowed us to space the trays further apart and have them turn to a steeper
angle.
The incubator No. 1500 is exempt from use as a hatcher allowing it to
avoid the mess associated with hatches and remain clean.
This incubator
only has to maintain one humidity setting making it easier on the eggs and
easier to operate.
The incubator No. 1500 �PROFESSIONAL� is designed to
be used with the No. 1550 HATCHER. We recommend purchasing the two together.
Up to three No 1500�s can be used with one No 1550 hatcher for a weekly
production of chicks from a laying flock.
The incubator No. 1500
�PROFESSIONAL� incubator offers an accurate digital thermostat with LCD display
of Temperature and Humidity. An on-board computer monitors systems and the
environment every second to keep itself updated and to share this data with you.
Electronic egg turning control, audio/visual indicators and a standard easy view
door highlight a number of features. Constructed from high strength plastic
board making it well insulated, quieter, and easier to clean.
