Cimuka HB500C Automatic Cabinet Egg Incubator & Hatcher – Multi-Species

The Cimuka HB500C is an automatic cabinet egg incubator and hatcher designed for poultry breeders, hatcheries, farms, and homesteaders managing multiple batches of eggs. Combining egg setting and hatching in one cabinet, it features automatic egg turning, controlled temperature and humidity, advanced ventilation, and specialized cooling technology. Its multi-species design accommodates quail, chicken, duck, turkey, goose, pheasant, partridge, and peacock eggs, giving you more flexibility when managing different poultry breeding projects.

Managing a larger incubation setup requires consistent environmental conditions and careful attention to each batch. The HB500C brings several important incubation functions together in one energy-efficient cabinet, helping reduce manual adjustments and making it easier to monitor temperature, humidity, and egg turning throughout the incubation process.

Key Features

• Combined Egg Setter and Hatcher: Handles both incubation and hatching in one cabinet, allowing you to manage different stages of the hatching process without purchasing separate setter and hatcher units.
• Humisonic™ Automatic Humidity Control: Maintains internal humidity according to your selected settings. Simply add water to the upper tank, with the option to fill the internal bottom pan when additional humidity support is needed.
• TurnX™ Automatic Egg Turning: The vibration-free egg-turning system rotates eggs 45 degrees in each direction. Automatic turning reduces the need for manual handling and helps simplify routine incubation management.
• AirRoute™ Ventilation System: Features an IP55-certified ventilation fan system designed for low energy use, with protection against dust, humidity, and voltage fluctuations. Consistent airflow helps maintain the controlled environment inside the incubator.
• Active Periodic Cooling (APC): This specialized system adjusts temperature and humidity to simulate the natural cooling and moisture-release periods that occur when birds temporarily leave their nests. It is particularly relevant when incubating goose eggs.
• Temperature and Humidity Alarms: Separate high- and low-temperature and humidity alarms, along with room sensors, help you monitor both internal incubator conditions and the surrounding room environment.
• 10 Adjustable Egg Setter Trays: Accommodates different egg sizes and species, including quail, chicken, pheasant, and peacock eggs. Adjustable dividers provide flexibility when preparing different batches.

Designed for Easier Hatch Management

When you're incubating eggs from multiple species or working with overlapping batches, keeping everything organized can take considerable attention. The HB500C supports batch hatching by allowing eggs to be moved down one level every few days as they progress through the incubation process.

Its multi-species capacity makes it suitable for poultry breeders working with different types of eggs. Depending on the species, the listed hatching capacity ranges from 60 goose or peacock eggs to 396 quail eggs. Front and rear cabinet access also makes routine cleaning and maintenance more convenient, while the user-friendly interface brings the main incubation controls together in one place.

The patented low-energy design offers another practical consideration for poultry operations running incubation equipment regularly. With an average energy consumption of 135 W, the HB500C is designed to maintain its incubation functions while keeping energy use in mind.
