    TODAY'S SPRAY & GEL VACCINATION PRACTICES

    In today's poultry industry,
    conventional manual sprayers struggle to ensure optimal vaccination quality due to multiple factors. The pivotal step of vaccinating day-old chicks is compromised, jeopardizing chances to get full vaccine take.

    Low spray vaccination homogeneity

    Currently, all manual sprayers are aquipped with conical spray nozzles. This type of equipment cannot ensure proper vaccination quality because it is impossible to guarantee uniformity across all animals. Unsprayed areas and overlaping are nearly inevitable phenomena with these types of devices.

    Operator dependant
    Vaccination using a manual sprayer is entirely dependent on the operator's focus. If the operator removes the crates before the completion of spraying, the entire dose is not properly distributed.

    High spray quality without automation

    01

    Thanks to its flat nozzle system, the Smart Hatch Spray & Gel is the only stand-alone machine ensuring a high level of spray homogeneity. Droplet size is controlled by the nozzles, and their adjustment ensures consistent coverage from start to finish of the crate. The volume dispense, combined with arm movement, all managed by the machine's electronics, guarantees that each bird, receive uniformly full dose.

    Automatic gel arm system

    02

    Gel droplet technology is the most efficient route of administration for the Immucox range. 
    A motorized arm, combined with an electronic dispensing syringe, ensures a homogenous & high quality gel droplet distribution. Optimum gel droplet allows high quality birds pricking & consequently high vaccine take.
    Thanks to the Smart Hatch Spray & Gel, it is now possible to dispense gel in the most precise manner on a standalone machine without the need of hatchery automation.

    Gel arm dispense

    The motorized arm enables consistent distribution from the beginning to the end of the crate.

    Non operator dependent vaccination

    03

    The machine is fully electronically managed for complete control of all critical parameters to ensure proper vaccination. 
    The spray & gel syringes are synchronized with the dispensing arm and continuous monitoring ensures full crate vaccination. Whenever a deviation is identified by the system, an alarm alerts the operator.

    Alarm system ongoing

    All critical parameters are monitored, alerting the operator if any part of the vaccination process deviates from the correct sequence. Ensuring 100% vaccination coverage for all animals.

    Automatic processing

    Automatic machine controls also alert the operator to any unforeseen events, such as crate removal before the vaccination is complete, vaccine shortage in the containers, and also the number of vaccinations performed in a day, week, month, and more.

    User friendly

    04

    The Smart Hatch Spray & Gel design allows any operator to start it within seconds; the vaccine priming and cleaning cycle are automatic. This streamlines the entire process, enabling anyone to use the machine with minimal training.
