Benefits of KBN for disinfection purpose

Bacteria spread

Dry air

Risk of cracks

The problems the customer was facing

Disinfection is a fundamental part of running a successful hatchery. If just one contaminated egg should crack within the incubator, it could jeopardize the entire batch. Bacteria may spread to other eggs or newly hatched chicks. Once micro-organisms penetrate the shell, they reach the membrane within minutes and become resistant to the disinfectant. The eggs should also be disinfected before they enter the incubator during the last days before hatching. Royal Pas Reform was looking for a spray nozzle solution which could easily be built into their hatchers without the need for compressed air.

System used for this application

Highly chemical resistant

Fine atomization

Cost efficient

KBN Fine Hydraulic Atomization

Our KBN nozzles have the finest atomization amongst our hydralic spray nozzles and are known for their high wear resistance to chemicals due to their ceramic material

The solution

After consulting with Ikeuchi, Royal Pas Reform decided to test a hydraulic KBN nozzle which is known for the finest atomization amongst our hydraulic spray nozzles. The result was excellent as the KBN nozzle could disinfect the batches in the hatchers without wetting the eggs excessively, while preserving the disinfection liquid.

The Result

After testing the KBN spray nozzles for disinfection in the hatchers, Royal Pas Reform decided to incorporate the spray nozzles as standard. These hatchers are currently used across the world for safe and hygienic hatching. The result can be seen in the photo below.
