Cimuka CT180 SH Automatic Egg Incubator – 180-Egg Setter and Hatcher

The Cimuka CT180 SH Egg Incubator is an automatic cabinet-style poultry incubator that combines egg setting and hatching in one system. With a capacity of 180 chicken eggs, automatic egg turning, integrated temperature and humidity control, and Active Periodic Cooling (APC) technology, it helps backyard poultry keepers, homesteaders, and small-scale breeders manage incubation with less manual work and more control over the conditions their eggs need.

From chicken and quail eggs to duck, pheasant, turkey, and goose eggs, the CT180 SH accommodates different poultry species with capacity varying by egg size. Its built-in humidity system, calibrated egg turners, and ventilation technology help maintain consistent conditions throughout the cabinet, while front and rear access make routine handling and maintenance more convenient.

Key Features

• Automatic Setting and Hatching: The CT180 SH includes egg turners for incubation and hatching baskets for the final days before hatch. This combination lets you manage both stages with one cabinet, reducing the need to transfer eggs between separate machines.
• Active Periodic Cooling (APC): This system adjusts temperature and humidity at intervals to imitate the natural cooling and moisture-release cycle that occurs when a parent bird leaves the nest. It is particularly relevant for keepers incubating goose eggs, which the manufacturer specifically highlights for this feature.
• Conturn 30 TM Automatic Egg Turners: Calibrated, vibration-free turning reduces the need to handle and rotate eggs manually. Consistent automatic turning helps simplify routine incubation management while the manufacturer-designed system uses minimal energy.
• Humisonic TM Humidity System: The integrated system supplies humidity as needed based on your settings. A built-in water tank makes water replenishment straightforward, while the manufacturer recommends using the bottom water pan for additional humidity support when needed.
• AirRoute TM Ventilation: The ventilation system is IP55 certified and designed to use minimal energy while protecting against dust, humidity, and voltage changes. Its role in circulating air throughout the cabinet helps support consistent temperature and humidity conditions across the incubator.
• Temperature and Humidity Alarms: High- and low-temperature and high- and low-humidity alarms, including a room sensor, help alert you when monitored conditions move outside your set parameters. This gives you an opportunity to investigate changes instead of relying on routine visual checks alone.
• Front and Rear Door Access: Access from both sides makes loading eggs, reaching the interior, and performing routine cleaning more convenient. This is especially useful when maintaining an incubator that handles larger batches.

Made for Easier Hatch Management

Successful incubation requires attention to temperature, humidity, ventilation, and egg turning. The CT180 SH brings these functions together in one cabinet, helping reduce the number of manual tasks involved in managing a hatch. Automatic turning takes care of regular egg rotation, while the integrated humidity system and onboard alarms help you monitor important incubation conditions.

Its combined setter and hatcher design is useful for poultry keepers who want to hatch more eggs in one batch without moving to separate setting and hatching machines. The cabinet's insulated construction is designed to help maintain internal conditions when room temperatures fluctuate, and the control panel provides an onboard way to monitor and adjust settings.

Know Before You Buy

• Setting and hatching: Use the egg turners during incubation, then replace them with the hatching baskets during the final few days before hatch.
• Humidity management: Add water to the upper tank as needed. The manufacturer also recommends filling the bottom pan with water for additional humidity support when necessary.
• Room conditions: The incubator is intended for indoor use and is recommended for rooms maintained between 65°F and 75°F.
• Egg capacity: Capacities differ by species and egg size. The 180-egg figure refers to chicken eggs, not every species.
• Hatch results: Incubation outcomes depend on several factors, including egg quality and incubation management. The manufacturer's feature descriptions should not be interpreted as a guarantee of a particular hatch rate.
