Cimuka HB500 C - Egg Incubator - Setter & Hatcher

Cimuka HB500C — Dual-Stage Setter & Hatcher for Many Breeds

The HB500C lets you set and hatch in the same cabinet. Load new eggs on the upper trays, move them down as they grow, and hatch on the lower levels. It keeps heat, air, and moisture steady so chicks hatch strong. Great for commercial hatcheries, small farms, and homesteads that want regular, weekly chicks.

Big Capacity (Set & Hatch)

• Set capacity: up to 500 chicken eggs at one time with 10 adjustable trays and easy dividers.

• Typical per-batch hatch (varies by breed/egg size):

  • 396 quail | 224 partridge | 192 pheasant

  • 140 chicken | 96 turkey | 96 duck

  • 60 goose | 60 peacock
    Benefit: steady output across many species, not just one big hatch day.

How the Combo Flow Works

1. Set eggs on upper trays.

2. Every few days, move eggs down a level as they develop.

3. Hatch on the lower levels while new sets start above.
   For hatching on setter racks, use tray covers (SKU: FLX35Y-K).

Features that Boost Hatch Rates

• Automatic humidity control: add water to the top tank (and bottom pan if needed); the unit holds your target humidity.
  Benefit: eggs don’t dry out; chicks develop evenly.

• Even airflow (IP55 fan): gentle, efficient air moves across every shelf and helps block dust and dampness.
  Benefit: stable temperature through the whole cabinet.

• Quiet egg turning: turners rotate eggs about 45° each way with low vibration.
  Benefit: stronger embryos and better hatch rates with less power.

• Short, natural cool-downs: the incubator adds brief cooling periods like a bird leaving the nest.
  Benefit: especially helpful for ducks and geese.

• Smart alarms: alerts for high/low temperature and humidity, plus a room sensor.
  Benefit: catch small problems fast—no extra gauges needed.
