3 Smart: Meeting tomorrow s challenges in the hatchery today! Pas Reform has been at the forefront of single-stage incubation for the past thirty five years. Building on the tried and trusted success of our existing incubation systems, Pas Reform s new Smart system takes this principle a stage further, to fully maximise the benefits of homogenous temperature control. The Smart incubation system enables you to acti vely manage the developing embryo while it is still in the egg. Add to this a fully controllable, modu lar design and your hatchery gains the ability to fully tailor a range of incubation environments at any one time, to meet the specific needs of the growing embryo. The full Smart incubation system comprises Smart Set TM (Setter) and SmartHatch TM (Hatcher), combined with the SmartDrive TM incubator control system, to allow for the careful management of individual conditions per egg type, and SmartCenter TM, a power ful hatchery management infor mation system.

5 Homogenous temperature distribution is the single most important parameter for successfully incubating today s modern breeds, each of which has a unique temperature signature for embryonic development. Even minor temperature fluctuations can have a major impact on uniformity and post hatch performance. With SmartSet TM, the average difference in eggshell temperature is less than 0.5ºF. Its modular design meets this specific requirement by enabling set points to be defined separately for each section of 19,200 hen eggs allowing for both single-stage (All in/all out) and multi-stage incubation. With capacities up to 115,200 hen eggs, SmartSet TM is the largest closed-door, single-stage incubator available on the market today. Once the trolleys are in, total system control is possible from outside the setter, eliminating any need to move trolleys during the setting period and fully preserving the integrity of heat management and distribution. Features include: Reduced heat-up time: to improve day old chick uniformity, it is vital that the hatching eggs, once in the setter, are rapidly and evenly brought on tempe ra - ture to start the incubation process. SmartSet s TM new heating device has a substantially larger heating surface area and therefore reduces the time to reach machine set point by 50per cent. This significantly improves uniformity and subsequent post hatch performance Increased cooling capacity: modern breeds gene rate more metabolic heat now than in the past and detailed work to forecast future developments has enabled Pas Reform to calculate cooling capacities not only for today s breeds, but also for their offspring in twenty years from now. In SmartSet TM, cooling capacity has been increased by 40 per cent. Integrated heating & cooling system: to achieve homogeneous temperature distribution throughout the machine, SmartSet TM has a combined heating & cooling device with 34 vertical, parallel coils per section, supplied with hot or cold water for optimum energy transmission to and from the incu bating eggs. Modular design With capacities up to 115,200 hen eggs, SmartSet TM is the largest closed-door, single-stage incubator available on the market today.

7 SmartHatch TM is a fully-automated hatching system that delivers accurately regulated temperature, humidity and ventilation: an exemplary hatcher for high day old chick uniformity with no need for human intervention. Features include: Optimised cooling system: Thanks to a detailed understanding of the impact of metabolic heat production on the growing embryo, Pas Reform has calculated the cooling capacities for SmartHatch TM not only for today s breeds, but also for projected breed requirements in twenty years from now. SmartHatch TM incorporates 12 parallel cooling circuits that surround the incubating eggs (SurroundCooling TM ), to deliver an added 20per cent cooling capacity. The circuits are fully integrated into the aluminium cabinet panels to massively increase the cooling surface area for even temperature distribution. Automated hatching system: fully automated processes deliver greater accuracy, and SmartHatch TM monitors and adjusts the hatching process automatically from the day of transfer through to the last chicks hatching, eliminating any need for human intervention. Field trials have proven that the syste matic measurement and control of temperature, humidity and CO2 production, combined with the use of current and historical data to adjust the hatcher environment automatically consistently produce high levels of uniformity per batch. Hygiene: SmartHatch TM is constructed of high quality, smooth-walled food-safe anodised aluminium, stain less steel and polystyrene. Its robust cabinets are resistant to strong disinfectants and corrosion and extremely durable. The absence of closed air ducts improves hygiene and sanitation, while the incorporation of the cooling circuits into the walls greatly reduces cleaning time.

8 SmartDrive TM SmartDrive TM delivers total control over every function and setting within each, individual incubator, from humidity and CO2 levels and the position of air inlet valves, to the individual operating parameters temperature, heating, cooling, ventilation and turning required per batch/egg type. Ergonomic design and the use of clear, full colour TFT displays and icons, allow SmartDrive TM to be configured quickly and simply to programme incubation conditions to meet breed-specific requirements. Features include: Pre-heat function: to improve day old chick uniformity requires a synchronised start to incubation. It is critical that the hatching eggs are heated quickly and uniformly once placed in the setter and SmartDrive s TM pre-heat function takes this one step further. Full programming for pre-heating time, temperature and ventilation allows the time needed to reach a specific set point from start up to be reduced even further. New PID control combined with set points per section: SmartDrive TM incorporates the latest version of PID Proportional Integral Derivative control, enabling the hatchery to simulate optimum (near-natural) incubation set points to minimise overshoots. The new PID control is adjustable with separate temperature set points for each section of 19,200 eggs. Fully adjustable turning programmes: As our knowledge of embry ology continues to grow, we are prompted to investigate different incubation programmes and modes. Studies have also revealed the benefits of different turning principles during incubation and SmartDrive TM now offers the ultimate in flexibility, for adjusting turning programmes as and when required (frequency of turning, 2 or 3 auto- turning positions, start/stop timing).
