NEW X-STREAMER™ INCUBATOR BY PETERSIME TURNS DATA INTO MAXIMUM HATCHERY PERFORMANCE
Petersime, a leading player in incubators and hatcheries, has launched the X-Streamer™, its new range of single-stage incubators. The X-Streamer™ is the world’s first intelligent incubator that turns data into maximum hatchery performance thanks to a unique combination of built-in intelligence, patented EmbryoResponse Incubation™ technology and advanced design features.
Built-in intelligence and big data
With hatcheries becoming larger and more integrated, data and traceability have become increasingly important. In answer to this trend, Petersime has developed the X-Streamer™, the first intelligent incubator that knows which eggs are on board and uses this knowledge to guide its users to the best incubation practices and results; not only for eggs from easy-to-incubate mid-age flocks, but also for more challenging young and old flocks. The X-Streamer™ brings powerful software and tools to the hatchery that help hatchery managers maximise their hatchery’s profits.
Based on information about the hatching eggs and their background, the software built into the X-Streamer™ automatically provides accurate programming information for each specific batch of eggs. “The intelligent functions of the X-Streamer™ ensure that hatchery managers can maximise incubation performance, while making working procedures for hatchery operators simple and error-free”, says Rudy Verhelst, Business Development Manager at Petersime. “What is more, the software offers full traceability at hatchery level and provides extra insight in the hatchery operations by connecting data. This way, big data from a hatchery’s perspective become a reality.”
Maximum results, minimum costs
With a clear focus on maximising incubation performance, the X-Streamer™ fully exploits Petersime’s patented Embryo-Response Incubation™ technology. By means of various algorithms, Embryo-Response Incubation™ generates the best possible incubation environment for each specific batch of eggs, during the entire incubation cycle. This guarantees optimum hatchability, chick quality and post-hatch performance.
All X-Streamer™ models have been thoughtfully engineered for maximum user-friendliness, minimum labour costs, high energy efficiency and optimum biosecurity. They require a minimal amount of maintenance, ensuring maximum uptime.
A full range to cover all needs
As a lifelong incubator innovator, Petersime knows the different needs in today’s modern hatcheries. The X-Streamer™ range holds a solution for all individual requirements in terms of capacities, functionalities, configurations and avian species.

INNOVATION IN POULTRY RENDERING
MAVITEC SOLUTIONS CREATE HIGH PROTEIN AND HIGH DIGESTIBILITY
With a global growing need for proteins and energy, processing animal by-products offers an essential part of the answer to this problem. Mavitec, expert in high quality process systems for the recycling of animal by-products, has one clear mission: maximize the value of your by-products in the most economic, ecologic and ergonomic way.
Within the rendering industry animal by-products are processed in a professional and sanitary way. Animals by-products are products from the meat production chain which are not considered to be edible. The composition and the quality of the by-products may vary from country to country depending on cultural and/or eating habits. However, before use in other processes they have to be treated and processed first.
Nutrient management
Mavitec is specialized in designing, engineering, manufacturing and installation of high quality process systems for the recycling of animal by-products. Mavitec is worldwide active from its headquarters in The Netherlands and known for creating the best nutrient values in the market. Mavitec machines turn animal by-products into high quality proteins and oils such as meat and bone meal, poultry meat meal, feather meal, blood meal, whole meal, tallow, fat and oil, suitable for use in pet food, animal feed, oleochemical and/ or pharmaceutical industry. Mavitec’s commitment is supplying solutions for taking by-products from one process and recycling them in valuable products for further applications. Maco van Heumen, CEO of Mavitec Group: ‘The way of processing determines the value of the end products. This is why we say that rendering is not waste handling it’s nutrient management. With our extensive experience, technology and processes we are able to extract the highest possible protein out of feathers, blood or other poultry by-products.’
Poulty rendering
One of Mavitec’s specialities is poultry rendering, a process that handles all by-products of the slaughter process. There are different ways of poultry processing and the quality of end-product depends on the raw material composition you put in the system. Van Heumen explains: ‘Basically it means, what you put in you will get out. Poultry by-product processing starts with five possible product flows: feathers, blood, soft by-products (heads, legs, intestines), Doa’s and farm/ hatchery by-products. All products can be processed in valuable end-products with each its specific process. The main objective is to stabilize the products by driving off the moisture, sterilize the product and turn it in a combination from protein (meal) and oil or only a protein. By following the processes described in EU-legistation 1069/2011 guarantees can be given in terms of end-quality and the security to be free from any salmonella, e. coli or clostridium. Each product has its own specific process that can be designed, based on capacity in a batch or continuous process. Volumes above 50 tons raw material per day are mostly processed in continuous systems, while smaller volumes are processed in a batch process. Poultry meat meal has an average protein content varying from 62-68% with a digestibility above 80%. The oil content can be used as feed additive or biofuel industry. Feathers have a protein content varying from 82-88% with a digestibilty above 80%. Blood has a protein content of 93-95% with a digestibilty above 90%. Endproducts from Doa’s, hatchery and farm waste can be used for fertilizer applications.’
New! Complete protein and oil analysis
High nutrient values and high digestibility are the key ingredients for use in high quality pet food or animal feed. Mavitec continues developing and the latest innovation is a new in-line method to analyze and optimize the quality of these meals and oils. The in-line Near InfraRed Spectrometer (NIRS) provides real-time data for moisture, protein, tallow/ fat/oil, ash and FFA. A fast, easy and reliable in-line continuous quality management & process control tool to get insight in the quality of end-products. The unit enables you to extract the highest possible value from each batch or continuous process. The result: high value management information and the best possible quality parameters. A valuable addition to the rendering process to maximize the value of your end-products.
