HatchTech to build world's largest hatchery

Ukraine's Myronivsky Hliboproduct and HatchTech, have signed an agreement for the installation of the world's largest hatchery operation.

The project is a part of the company's expansion project called "Vinnytsya Poultry Farm". The new hatchery will hatch six million day-old chicks per week.

Myronivsky Hliboproduct (MHP) selected HatchTechnology based on its efficient building concept (honeycomb setter tray + HatchTech CyCleanTM: 25% more space efficient); its energy efficient heating and cooling system; its proven incubation concept of laminar airflow; and its expertise in building large scale turn key facilities.

A team of technicians, incubation specialists and sales support managers have worked intensively on the MHP project, said HatchTech.

The hatchery has been divided in one large processing area for eggs and chickens and three incubator and hatchery areas. Each area has its own ventilation supply. The ventilation units are equipped with a high efficiency filtering performance, categorised by the EU as standard EU-7. HatchTechnology implements an Energy Heat Recovery system. This ensures that the heat from embryos is cooled down with the fresh air intake of the ventilation units. The robust and simple form of heat recovery is a proven concept in HatchTechnology ventilation, cooling & heating systems.

In addition to the filtered ventilation system, the hatchery bio-security level is of the highest level because of the implementation of fumigation rooms and HatchTech Heat Disinfection programme.
