Brinsea’s Octagon 20 and 40 incubators have been popular with bird breeders for decades and the latest models provide a combination of performance and value whichever model you choose.

The Octagon 40 Advance combines the high performance Octagon cabinet and egg handling with Brinsea’s Advance digital control system which puts the control of the incubation process firmly in the hands of the user and ensures reliable hatch rates, time after time.

In normal mode the display shows the incubation temperature and humidity to very high levels of accuracy. The simple menu allows the user to change incubation settings.

• Temperature and humidity display (choice of deg.C or deg.F)
• Temperature and power fail alarms with adjustable sensitivity
• NEW cooling option
• Factory calibration

The Octagon 40 Advance can be upgraded to EX specification with the addition of the Brinsea humidity pump (AD44) to give full automatic control of humidity.

Cabinet.  The high quality incubator cabinets are entirely injection moulded from high grade ABS which makes them
durable and easy to clean. The base is double skinned and foam filled to reduce heat loss meaning lower electricity
consumption and better temperature distribution. The incubator tops are clear allowing good visibility of the eggs
and chicks inside.

Humidity and ventilation.  Air is circulated by long life computer fans which, coupled with the unique grilles with optimised air diffusers, means extremely even air temperature throughout the egg chamber. Fresh air is controlled with a vent slider and humidity is provided by water in reservoirs in the base (unless the EX pump is used – Advance models only).

Egg Handling.  Egg turning is achieved by rocking the whole cabinet from side to side either by hand (hence the Octagon
shape) or with the automatic turning cradle which moves the incubator through 90° approximately once each hour. External
egg turning keeps the incubator interior free from motors and mechanisms which makes cleaning easier. Autoturn cradles
are supplied as standard with the Octagon 40 Advance. To accommodate eggs of different sizes the two removable egg trays are supplied with dividers which the user can position to suit their eggs and maximize the number that can be held. Eggs from as small as finches to as large as geese can be incubated. The Octagon 40s hold up to 48 hens eggs or equivalent.
