INTRODUCTION
GENERAL
Jamesway's Hatchery DisinfectantSystem incorporates
a programmable controller that regulates the disper-
sion of liquid chemical disinfectants used in hatcheries.
The Electronic Disinfectant Controller has the capac-
ity to program two independent zones for up to 30 days
with automatic repeat cycling of a 2 to 30 day cycle for
each zone. The following specifications highlight the
operations of the controller and the features of the
Hatchery Disinfectant System:
• The Electronic Controller is housed in a fire-re-
tardant and splash-proofABS plastic housing that
has been designed for a wall mount installation.
• Liquid-tightconnectors are usedfor external power
and zone cable connections.
• A high intensity 16 x 2 digit LED display panel
indicates time of day, day of zone cycle, and zone
ON/OFF cycle setting.
• The design of the Electronic Controller’s internal
circuitry protectsthe unitfrom powersurges, brown
outs and power line noise.An internal systems di-
agnostics test is performed each time the unit is
turned on. In the event of a power outage, power
interruption, or when the controller is switched off,
the internal long life lithium battery will retain the
programmed settings.
• For extended periods of operation, a 60 US gallon
(227 L) polyethylene dilution holding tank is used
for each independently functioning zone.
• A non-corrosive diaphragm pump delivering 120
US g/h (2.0/min) at 125 psi (454 L/h (7.6/min) at
8.6 bars) is located on top of the dilution tank, op-
erating only when a programmed signal is received
from the Electronic Controller.
• Each zone can manage up to 50 atomizer units at
1.20 US g/h (4.54 L/h) per atomizer, and dispers-
ing disinfectant throughout the system at 125 psi
(8.6 bars).
• The Hatchery Disinfectant System can be installed
and operated with any brand of incubator or
hatcher.

HATCHERY SANITATION
GENERAL
A thorough sanitation program is critical to the main-
tenance of high hatchability and the production of
healthy chicks. The use of disinfectants, as part of a
routine sanitation program, will eliminate many of the
disease producing microorganisms that negatively ef-
fect the chicks through the incubation and hatching
cycles.
The hatchery should be clean. Organic material should
be kept to a minimum to ensure the surface disinfect-
ants will effectively attack and destroy the
microorganisms.
DISINFECTANTS
Asa standard,all disinfectantsused ina hatcheryshould
possess the following characteristics:
•A proven effective germ killing agent.
•Safe and non-toxic to humans and animals.
•Able to penetrate small amounts of organic mate-
rial and crevices.
•Non-corroding and non-staining to hatchery ma-
chines.
•Water soluble.
•Odour free.
•Readily available.
Surface disinfectants exhibit different levels of effec-
tiveness based on the type of microorganism present.
The most common of these organisms can be grouped
into four main categories: bacterial organisms, viral
organisms, fungal organisms and protozoal organisms.
Disinfectants should be acquired based on the applica-
tion and intended use in specific areas of the hatchery,
seeTable 5 (page 24) for a list of disinfectants and their
recommended usage.
Note: Jamesway Incubator Company does not
recommend the use of any particular chemical.
Using this handbook as a guide, ask the manu-
facturers of the disinfectant solutions for recom-
mendations on chemical usage for specific
individual requirements.
Note: For complete descriptions on disinfectants
and types of organisms present in a hatchery, re-
fer to Appendix C of this manual.
Caution: If fumigation is used to control bac-
terial contamination in a hatchery,strict guide-
lines (e.g., those set by the United States
Occupational Safety and Health Administra-
tion) are to be observed. The Commercial
Chicken Production Manual – 4th Edition, by
Mack O. North and Donald D. Bell (published
by Van Nostrand Reinhold, New York 1990),
details the use of Formalin. It outlines precau-
tions that should be followed by hatchery man-
agers and personnel.

INSTALLATION
GENERAL
The Hatchery Disinfectant System has been designed
to adapt to various hatchery layouts, from small speci-
ality hatcheries to large scale poultry producers. The
Electronic Controller can be placed almost anywhere
in the hatchery (e.g. the hatchery manager’s office),
and the dilution tanks can be isolated in a storage and/
or mechanical/electrical room. The atomizer units are
located inside the incubator and hatcher machines, but

canalso besituated inanysection ofthe hatchery where
bacterial contamination is considered a problem. Fig-
ure 3 (below) illustrates a typical hatchery layout with
DualZone coverage totheincubator andhatcher rooms.
Additional controllers can be installed to operate more
than two zones (see Figure 4 on page 10 for an exam-
ple of a multiple zone layout).

coverage (storage room location).

LOCATION
ATOMIZER UNITS
Plan the installation of the Hatchery Disinfectant Sys-
tem by first determining the number of rooms/areas
within the hatchery that will require atomizer units.
Plan to which zone each of the atomizers will be allo-
cated.
Calculate the number of atomizer units per incubator/
hatcher machine and the exact location of the atomiz-
er’s positioning inside the cabinets. Refer to Figures 7
to 10 on pages 13, 14 and 15 for recommendations re-
garding the placement of the atomizer units in
Jamesway machines.
TEST POINT LOCATIONS
Plan for Pressure Test Point locations within the sys-
tem layout (See Figure 4 below and also Figure 15 on
page 22). They should be located at the end of every
main line. Note: If the pump is located some distance away
from the controller, e.g., in another room, you may
consider enclosing the electrical cable in conduit.
THE ELECTRONIC CONTROLLER AND
DILUTION TANKS
Establish the location of the electronic controller and
the dilution tanks. There should be an electrical outlet
in vicinity of the controller.
Ideally, both tanks and controller should be located
close to each other so that the controller plugs directly
into the pump socket without the use of an extension
cord.
If it is necessary to locate the tank several feet away
from the controller, extension cord (USC118) is avail-
able (25 feet/8 metres). See page 26.
Also, wherever possible, dilution tanks should be lo-
cated no more that 100 feet (30.5 metres) from the
atomizer zones.
