Smart: Meeting tomorrow’s challenges in the hatchery… today!
Pas Reform has been at the forefront of single-stage incubation for the past thirty five years. Building on the tried and trusted success of our existing incubation systems, Pas Reform’s new Smart system takes this principle a stage further, to fully maximise the benefits of homogenous temperature control. The Smart incubation system enables you to actively manage the developing embryo while it is still in the egg. Add to this a fully controllable, modular design – and your hatchery gains the ability to fully tailor a range of incubation environments at any one time, to meet the specific needs of the growing embryo. The full Smart incubation system comprises Smart SetTM (Setter) and SmartHatchTM (Hatcher), combined with the SmartDriveTM incubator control system, to allow for the careful management of i ndividual conditions per egg type, and SmartCenterTM, a powerful hatchery management information system.

SmartSetTM
• Reduced heat-up time • Increased cooling capacity • Integrated heating & cooling system • Modular design • Separate temperature set point control for each incubator section • Homogenous incubation temperature • Independent (adjustable) turning mechanism for precise egg turning • Robust, easy-to-clean construction
Setting system • Central operating console
Homogenous temperature distribution is the single most important parameter for successfully incuba ting today’s modern breeds, each of which has a unique temperature ‘signature’ for embryonic development. Even minor temperature fluctuations can have a major impact on uniformity and post hatch perfor mance. With SmartSetTM, the average difference in eggshell temperature is less than 0.5ºF. Its modular design meets this specific requirement by enabling set points to be defined separately for each section of 19,200 hen eggs – allowing for both single-stage (All in/All out) and multi-stage incubation. With capacities up to 115,200 hen eggs, SmartSetTM is the largest closed-door, single-stage incubator available on the market today. Once the trolleys are in, total system control is possible from outside the setter, eliminating any need to move trolleys during the setting period and fully preserving the integrity of heat management and distribution.
Features include: • Reduced heat-up time: to improve day old chick uniformity, it is vital that the hatching eggs, once in the setter, are rapidly and evenly brought on tempera ture to start the incubation process. SmartSet’sTM new heating device has a substantially larger heating surface area and therefore reduces the time to reach machine set point by 50per cent. This significantly improves uniformity and subsequent post hatch performance • Increased cooling capacity: modern breeds generate more metabolic heat now than in the past – and detailed work to forecast future developments has enabled Pas Reform to calculate cooling capacities not only for today’s breeds, but also for their offspring in twenty years from now. In SmartSetTM, cooling capacity has been increased by 40 per cent. • Integrated heating & cooling system: to achieve homogeneous temperature distribution throughout the machine, SmartSetTM has a combined heating & cooling device with 34 vertical, parallel coils per section, supplied with hot or cold water for optimum energy transmission to and from the incubating eggs.

Modular design
SmartHatchTM
• Optimised cooling system (SurroundCoolingTM) • Automated, CO2-controlled hatching system (AHSTM) • Robust, easy-to-clean construction • Extruded anodised aluminium profiles for maximum stability and ease of installation • Central operating console • Large inspection window • 3-lock door system
SmartHatchTM is a fully-automated hatching system that delivers accurately regulated temperature, humidity and ventilation: an exemplary hatcher for high day old chick uniformity with no need for human intervention. Features include: • Optimised cooling system: Thanks to a detailed understanding of the impact of metabolic heat production on the growing embryo, Pas Reform has calculated the cooling capacities for SmartHatchTM not only for today’s breeds, but also for projected breed requirements in twenty years from now. SmartHatchTM incorporates 12 parallel cooling circuits that surround the incubating eggs (SurroundCoolingTM), to deliver an added 20per cent cooling capacity. The circuits are fully integrated into the aluminium cabinet panels to massively increase the cooling surface area for even temperature distribution.
• Automated hatching system: fully automated processes deliver greater accuracy, and SmartHatchTM monitors and adjusts the hatching process automa tically from the day of transfer through to the last chicks hatching, eliminating any need for human intervention. Field trials have proven that the systematic measurement and control of temperature, humidity and CO2 production, combined with the use of current and historical data to adjust the hatcher environment automatically consistently produce high levels of uniformity per batch. • Hygiene: SmartHatchTM is constructed of high quality, smooth-walled ‘food-safe’ anodised aluminium, stainless steel and polystyrene. Its robust cabinets are resistant to strong disinfectants and corrosion and extremely durable. The absence of closed air ducts improves hygiene and sanitation, while the incorporation of the cooling circuits into the walls greatly reduces cleaning time.

SmartDriveTM
SmartDriveTM delivers total control over every function and setting within each, individual incubator, from humidity and CO2 levels and the position of air inlet valves, to the individual operating parameters – temperature, heating, cooling, ventilation and turning – required per batch/egg type. Ergonomic design and the use of clear, full colour TFT displays and icons, allow SmartDriveTM to be configured quickly and simply to programme incubation conditions to meet breed-specific requirements. Features include: • Pre-heat function: to improve day old chick uniformity requires a synchronised start to incubation. It is critical that the hatching eggs are heated quickly and uniformly once placed in the setter – and SmartDrive’sTM pre-heat function takes this one step further. Full programming for pre-heating time, temperature and ventilation allows the time needed to reach a specific set point from start up to be reduced even further.
• New PID control combined with set points per section: SmartDriveTM incorporates the latest version of PID – Proportional Integral Derivative – control, enabling the hatchery to simulate optimum (near-natural) incubation set points to minimise overshoots. The new PID control is adjustable with separate temperature set points for each section of 19,200 eggs. • Fully adjustable turning programmes: As our knowledge of embryology continues to grow, we are prompted to investigate different incubation programmes and modes . Studies have also revealed the benefits of different turning principles during incubation – and SmartDriveTM now offers the ultimate in flexibility, for adjusting turning programmes as and when required (frequency of turning, 2 or 3 auto-turning positions, start/stop timing).

SmartCenterTM
Pas Reform’s new Smart incubation system employs an intelligent, responsive, 24-hour ‘brain’: SmartCenterTM, a powerful, simple-to-use total management information system that ‘communicates’ with every SmartDriveTM unit to continuously monitor each incubator and finetune settings to ensure that optimum conditions are maintained at all times.
Features include: • Knowledge based information system: An on-screen, customised layout of the hatchery serves as the main control panel, from which every function and para meter for each individual incubator throughout the hatchery may be accessed and controlled. The system comprises an entire database with log files on alarm and climate history, to allow for trouble shooting diagnostics as well as building a knowledge base for future incubation programme development. • Unlimited number of incubation programmes: SmartCenterTM communicates with SmartDriveTM , linked to each incubator via browser software, to give you fast, convenient, efficient access to any one incubator at any time. SmartCenterTM incorporates a powerful new programming module, with the options to use an unlimited number of incubation models (breed, age, storage specific). • Remote diagnostics: Should technical support for the operation, maintenance or trouble-shooting of your hatchery control system beneeded, Smart Center’sTM internet-based system ensures that specialists from the Pas Reform Academy can be online and at your side anywhere in the world within moments.
