Automatic humidity pump SIRIO

The stability of relative humidity during the incubation process is one of the key element in ensuring a good hatching rate and the birth of healthy and viable chicks. With this goal in mind, we have designed and built the SIRIO automatic humidifier  which allows water to enter the incubator automatically without any operator intervention.

This device, designed for Borotto machines, but adaptable to any brand of incubator, allows an adequate level of humidity during incubation and hatching to be maintained, regardless of  ambient humidity changes, enhancing the percentage of successful hatchings of incubated eggs.

SIRIO includes a double-head peristaltic pump controlled by a microcomputer that, thanks to a modified PID algorithm, continuously controls water delivery. A connected latest-generation electronic sensor (Swiss-made Sensirion), precisely measures the humidity within the machine during the entire incubation cycle, and this absolute stability is guaranteed for more than ten years.

SIRIO draws from an external water reserve, such as a normal bottle or small tank, entering the amount of water required to ensure the ideal level of humidity as previously set on its liquid crystal display. As the water is supplied, the display shows the rotation of the motor, providing direct visual information about the device’s operation.

Connecting SIRIO and its water supply to the incubator and plugging it in means you can “forget” everything until the eggs hatch!

SIRIO satisfies the requirements of the automatic humidity control of  incubators with capacities of up to 500 eggs.
