Lowest Building Costs
More Capacity. Less Building Required
Building costs account for a substantial share of total hatchery investment. By reducing the required floor space through high-capacity setters, space-efficient hatcher solutions and compact chick storage.
The Impact of Our Solutions on a Hatchery
Up to 25% Smaller Setter Footprint
Reduce the required setter area through high-capacity systems that increase capacity per square meter.
Up to 96% Smaller Hatcher Footprint
Lower floor space requirements with spaceefficient hatcher solutions, helping reduce overall building costs.
Up to 75% Smaller Chick Storage Footprint
Store more chicks in less space through a compact chick storage concept and optimised layout.
HatchTech Setter More Eggs per Setter Trolley
Higher capacity within each trolley footprint means fewer trolleys are required for the same number of eggs. This contributes to a more compact setter area and lower building and operational costs.
- Up to 8.360 eggs per trolley
- Up to 75% more eggs per trolley
- Fewer trolleys for the same number of eggs
HatchTech Hatcher More Eggs per Hatcher Dolley
The HatchTech hatcher is designed to increase capacity without increasing floor space. By accommodating more eggs per dolly, hatcheries can reduce the number of machines required while maintaining the desired production output.
- 16 Baskets per dolly
- 1.408 eggs per dolly
- ≈20% more eggs within the same floor space
HatchTech CyClean™ No Fluff Room Required
CyClean™ is an integrated HatchTech hatcher technology that captures fluff directly from the exhaust air using cyclone technology. By separating fluff inside the hatcher, a dedicated fluff room is no longer required, helping reduce floor space requirements while simplifying fluff handling and cleaning procedures
- ≈ 5.4 m² floor space saved per machine
- Up to 95% of outgoing fluff captured
- Simplified fluff handling and reduced cleaning effort
HatchTech Chick Storage Room More Chicks. Less Space Required.
The HatchTech Chick Storage Room is designed to maximise storage capacity within a compact footprint. Efficient basket positioning and controlled airflow through every basket enable more chicks to be stored while maintaining uniform storage conditions.
- Up to 75% higher chick storage capacity
- Reduced floor space requirements
- Controlled airflow through every basket
More Capacity Without Compromising Chick Quality
Increasing capacity only creates value when incubation conditions remain consistent. HatchTech combines MicroClimer Technology with Laminar Airflow to create a uniform climate around every embryo throughout the incubator. This enables hatcheries to maximise capacity per square metre while maintaining the conditions required for consistent embryo development and chick quality.
- Uniform air distribution throughout the incubator
- Consistent performance from 10–100% incubator filling
- Precise control on temperature tailored to egg size
Lower OPEX Through Smart Hatchery Design
The same design principles that reduce building costs also contribute to lower operational costs. A smaller footprint and fewer machines help simplify daily operations throughout the hatchery, reducing unnecessary movement, cleaning effort and maintenance requirements.
Key Benefits:
- Less walking distance and handling time
- Reduced cleaning effort
- Simplified daily workflows
- Lower maintenance requirements
The Impact of Space Efficiency – 30% Less Floorspace
For a hatchery with a capacity of 2,8 million eggs, HatchTech’s high-capacity setters,
space-efficient hatchers and compact chick storage rooms can reduce the required
hatchery footprint. In practice, this translates into the following savings:
- 1.599 m² (17.211 ft²) less floor space required
- Up to €5,9 million ($7 million) in construction cost savings*
This results in lower CAPEX through reduced building costs, while also lowering OPEX through reduced maintenance, cleaning and facility operating costs.
*Based on average construction costs of €3,700/m² ($400/ft²). Actual savings depend on hatchery design, location and building specifications.
