DIY blitz 48 incubator repair

In detail: do-it-yourself repair of the blitz 48 incubator from a real master for the site my.housecope.com.

In the same way, like many other types of technology, incubators, over time, under the influence of various factors, lose their original properties and fail. In order for this device, indispensable in the poultry industry, to be able to reliably serve for a long period, it is necessary to inspect it from time to time and carry out correct repairs.

People who are seriously involved in poultry are well aware of the tremendous help that modern incubators bring them. Depending on the goals and needs, three main categories of these egg devices are produced:

Household incubators are characterized by small dimensions. The total number of chicken eggs that they can hold does not exceed three hundred. Farm-type devices are designed for up to five thousand eggs. And large industrial incubators are designed to "incubate" five thousand eggs or more.

Small-sized household incubators are currently the most popular among those who try their hand at poultry farming. Domestic models such as Cinderella, Nestka, Kvochka, Laying and TGB, as well as R-com devices from South Korean manufacturers are in great demand. Competent maintenance and timely repair are important factors that will ensure a long service life of these devices.

Incubators are quite complex technological devices, which include a large number of different parts and components. Unfortunately, sooner or later they cease to effectively cope with their functions and fail. Most often, the following components of an egg incubator are exposed to all kinds of breakdowns:

  • thermal regulator;
  • relay;
  • mechanism for turning eggs;
  • a heater block equipped with fans.

It is important to always keep in mind that the breakdown of even one single part can lead to incorrect operation of the device. And under such conditions, the death of embryos, alas, is inevitable. To prevent this, timely competent repair is necessary.

In the event that a breakdown occurs during the warranty period, the best and most effective solution is to take the household incubator to a professional service center. Alternatively, replace the faulty device model with a new one.

At the end of the warranty period, you can carry out repairs yourself, but this method is applicable only to those who have the appropriate skills. Since in their design the models of incubators Laying, TGB, Cinderella, Kvochka and Nasedka are in many respects similar to each other, the process of carrying out repair work is identical. The main thing in this case is to correctly determine the breakdown. To do this, you can see a preliminary photo and video that will help you complete the repair efficiently and efficiently. In addition, it is important to read the instructions first.

It should also be borne in mind that some types of work, in particular, high-precision adjustment of the incubator's thermal regulator, cannot be done by hand. This requires the help of professionals.

One of the most important components of a household incubator is a thermostat, which ensures the correct temperature level in this device. The most common problems associated with this component include:

  • breakdown of a special temperature sensor;
  • breakage of electrical wires;
  • violations of the regulatory function.

If the incubator is equipped with only one thermometer, any of these malfunctions can lead to the death of avian embryos.Repairing and restoring wires, as well as replacing the temperature sensor are tasks that you can handle with your own hands. But only professionals are able to correctly correct problems with regulation.

If the mechanism responsible for the timely turning of the eggs in the incubator is damaged, a special sensor must be replaced. In this case, the most important thing is a timely and prompt response.

Another important component of the incubator is a relay that maintains the required temperature level by turning off the heater when the desired temperature is reached and re-enabling it when it drops. There are two types of relays - electromechanical and solid state. The main problem of the first is the strong wear of the contacts, and the second is the overheating of the triac key. Therefore, in the first case, it is necessary to timely clean and replace the contacts, and in the second, to cool the key.

High-quality and reliable operation of the incubator is the key to successful poultry farming. Therefore, it is necessary to provide it with careful and accurate operation, with constant thorough cleaning and timely repair.

The incubator is designed for the incubation of poultry breeding eggs in a subsidiary farm. Produced in accordance with TU 4743-001-20704064-2008.

Thanks for the helpful video. I have a problem with blitz72, when 220v is turned off, it switches to a 12v backup battery, after 220 power appears, it does not switch back to it. It clicks and the mains lamp blinks, from the tenth time it can switch. Tell me, if you know, maybe there is a relay that needs to be replaced, otherwise I'm on you with an electrician.

overlooked, most likely kz somewhere

Image - DIY blitz 48 incubator repair

hello blitz, my turning mechanism turns in one direction well and in the other half thanks for earlier

Image - DIY blitz 48 incubator repair

Hello, but what to do if, while wiping the incubator, I accidentally damaged the lower spring, it remained intact, only changed its shape, stretched and bent. Is it critical? Can the incubator continue to be used?

Image - DIY blitz 48 incubator repair

No, it's not critical, you can use it, just pay attention to whether there is any touching each other between the turns .. and so it's okay. ))

Image - DIY blitz 48 incubator repair

the power supply fails due to a small power reserve and poor cooling

Image - DIY blitz 48 incubator repair

Hello. But please tell me the turn when you press the button is triggered every other time.It could be related to the power supply

Image - DIY blitz 48 incubator repair

Glory hello! I'm not a specialist in electronics, but I think that this is due to the button itself, the power supply does not affect the operation of the button in any way. By the way, it also happens to me every other time, although the power supply is serviceable.

The Blitz 48 incubator is an automatic household appliance with a built-in thermometer and humidity regulator. It is also designed for incubation of both chicken and duck, goose and quail eggs.

Automatic incubator "Blitz 48" is a high-precision modern device that has everything you need for a successful carefree incubation of eggs. Firstly, it is equipped with an ultra-precise electronic temperature controller, secondly, a digital thermometer, and thirdly, a fan for air exchange. The battery is also provided in case of emergency power off.

The set for the device includes two trays for pouring water and maintaining the desired humidity level. In this case, water is supplied to containers without the need to open the device chamber itself. This prevents unwanted temperature spikes. Mechanical dampers allow you to control the humidity in the chamber from 40% to 85%.

The body of the Blitz-48 incubator itself is made of plywood, the walls are additionally insulated with 40 mm foam, the top is transparent for observation. The inside of the chamber itself is covered with a galvanized sheet, which helps maintain a good microflora inside, and prevents temperature drops. The eggs are placed in one tray, which, using the program, is rotated to the sides every two hours.

An internal digital thermometer monitors the temperature to the nearest 0.1 degree. Even when the voltage is turned off, the incubator automatically continues to work without interruption, connecting to the battery. At the same time, the program does not require any additional settings, it remembers and maintains all the latest indicators. The battery is designed for 22 hours of continuous use.

  • maximum power - 50 W;
  • mains supply - 220 V, battery - 12 V;
  • capacity of chicken eggs - 48 pieces, duck - 38, goose - 20, turkey - 34 and quail - 130 pieces;
  • maintaining the temperature with an error of 0.1 degrees;
  • automatic, smooth egg turning;
  • built-in fan, thermometer with memory;
  • weight - 9 kilograms;
  • dimensions - 523x350x308 mm.

The main feature of the Blitz-48 incubator is the ability to incubate both chicken and other eggs (quail, turkey, waterfowl). However, this is not all. It is made of rectangular shape, convenient for placement, with an external control unit on the side wall. Externally, the material is moisture resistant and heat insulating. The heating element and fan are built in at the bottom of the device.

Egg trays are located approximately in the middle of the chamber, taking into account the distance of their rotation in both directions by 45 degrees. Water trays are set depending on the type of eggs. If there are two waterfowl, one is used for incubating hens and turkeys. If necessary, the heating element can be turned off, leaving only the fan itself. For example, this mode is used to cool the chamber.

Incubator Blitz-48 is an excellent modern household device with good characteristics and quality indicators. Today it is he who is the sales leader in the domestic market. It is the choice of most poultry owners for incubating small numbers of eggs. The incubator meets all the requirements of hobby farmers. So, the main advantages and benefits:

  • versatility - the ability to use for different types of eggs;
  • convenience and reliability;
  • automatic mode for smooth flipping of trays and temperature control;
  • possible humidity control without opening the chamber;
  • spacious;
  • easy to operate - no complicated electronics.

Compared to the pluses, this device has practically no minuses. In order to find them, you should be too picky - this opinion was formed after analyzing many reviews. So, we can single out two not only negative moments, but just not entirely convenient for some poultry farmers. This:

  • inconvenience to pour water into a very small hole in the ventilation compartment;
  • inconvenience to load eggs into trays already installed inside. It can be loaded from the outside, but then it is inconvenient to replace the trays.

These are, perhaps, all the shortcomings. Otherwise, we can safely say - ideal for home use. By the way, the warranty is two years, but even after this period has expired, many owners write that the incubator is working properly and shows a very high incubation result.

You will be able to get acquainted with the device in more detail in the video, which provides a detailed overview of the device and describes its characteristics.
