- The panels are made of FRP, offering excellent chemical resistance.
- The P-008A model includes one automatic egg-turning device (capacity of approximately 40 eggs).
- Difference between flat-type and three-dimensional incubators: Three-dimensional incubators are now the mainstream due to their ease of temperature control and responsiveness. Flat-type incubators are very rare. A characteristic of flat-type incubators is that they reduce hatching time by avoiding the stress of air circulation, similar to natural conditions, thus preserving the chick's energy during the vulnerable period around hatching. Three-dimensional incubators use power sources like fans to regulate the temperature throughout the incubator for hatching eggs. Three-dimensional types are easy to handle with good temperature control and responsiveness.
- Incubators are designed to maintain a constant internal temperature as much as possible, but they are significantly affected by external temperatures. Larger incubators can retain more heat internally, minimizing the impact on hatching and providing a wider operating temperature range. While incubator selection is based on various conditions such as egg capacity, size, weight, insulation, usage environment, and budget, a slightly larger incubator is recommended.
- This unit requires the transfer of the hatching tray and the egg-turning tray (for chicken eggs, this is done 3 days before the expected hatching date). Two types of trays are included.
- It is reportedly possible to request modification from the P-008A model to the P-008B model from Showa Franki.
