GQF_1550 |
Sportsman 1550 Digital Professional Hatcher.
110-120VAC, 50/60 Hz, 325 Watts. TUV Listed. FREE Shipping in the U.S.A. except
Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico.
The 1550 HATCHER incubator is
designed to allow for the best hatching conditions. Unlike setting incubators,
hatchers usually operate at slightly different temperature and humidity settings
to obtain optimum hatch. With five hatching drawers the 1550 Hatcher will hold
the complete setting of the 1500 incubator.
For expanding operations the
1550 can be matched with up to three 1500 incubators. The 1550 can be used to
set eggs, but each egg will have to be turned by hand. For small chicks such as
quail, each hatching tray comes with a tray cover.
The No. 1550 HATCHER
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.
Audio/visual indicators and a standard easy view door highlight a number of
standard features. Constructed from high strength plastic board making it well
insulated, quieter, and easier to clean. Hatcher includes: - 1 #3258
Digital Command Center - 5 hatching trays - 1 moisture pan with 2 wick pads -
Instruction booklet - 4 hatching tray covers Total capacity approximately 1250
Quail eggs or 360 Chicken Eggs. DIMENSIONS: 30 1/4� Front to Back, 15 3/4� Wide,
31 3/4� High.
