Laminar airflow	Air temperature control

The quality of the air in the truck; temperature, relative humidity and CO₂ level is controlled via the patented concept of HatchTech:

• The HatchTraveller is equipped with perforated patented radiators;
• The air passes through the radiator and issues its heat to the cooling medium within the radiator (glycol or water);
• The chicks in HatchBrood are divided over several sections, in which temperature sensors provide information on actual air temperature;
• Based on information from temperature sensors, the temperature of the cooling medium in the radiators is continuously modulated, resulting in perfect air temperatures.

Maintaining chick quality	Increased capacity

• Each radiator is linked to a chiller system. As cooling is executed 100 % via chillers, the HatchTraveller does not depend on the outside conditions;
• Outside air is only used for oxygen supply. A CO₂ sensor is responsible for controlling the air inlet.

As the temperature is controlled in all the sections and the air is moving in perfect velocity, HatchTraveller ensures optimum and uniform chick body temperatures of 104°F. The chicken will use its available nutrients (yolk and feed) for growth and development and will start off well.
