VERTICAL INCUBATION SYSTEM MariSource is the world's provider of vertical incubators. 4-tray, 8-tray, & 16-tray vertical incubators are available to use in various combinations to maximize use of available manpower, floor space, and water supply. The design and construction of these vertical incubators offers several advantages: Vertical flow: Fresh water enters the rear of a water tray, at the top tray, upwells through the egg tray and flows over the front wall inside the water tray into a channel which feeds the next lower water tray unit. Accessibility: Each water tray is designed to slide easily forward on level tracks from the front of the cabinet, enabling eggs to be worked on and returned to the tray without removing it from the vertical incubator cabinet. Hatchery personnel may remove individual egg trays entirely to monitor the progress of eggs and fry without disturbing the remaining trays in the stack. Versatility: MariSource Vertical Incubation Systems may be used in single 8-tray application or may be stacked atop each other to form 16-tray configurations without consuming additional floor space. In the stacked application, a second water source may be introduced to the lower units, thus insuring ample oxygen for each incubator. MariSource also manufactures a 4-tray incubation unit for small quantity applications such as educational or laboratory environments for segregated batch incubation of hybrid eggs. Materials: The cabinet itself is constructed of a one-piece welded aluminum frame for lightweight, convenience in stackability, corrosion resistance, and a long useful life. Interior components are molded of plastic which may be easily cleaned, disinfected after or prior to each use, and are resistant to corrosion. Materials will neither rust nor attack eggs chemically. All incubation components will float. Species-specific: MariSource incubation units are delivered fully assembled with screening material specified by the hatchery for the desired species. Proper screen mesh size allows eggshells to pass through while retaining alevin or fry.

VERTICAL INCUBATION COMPONENTS Water Tray: Injection molded of durable impact resistant material which will not crack if dropped on cement floors. Material is nontoxic, cleans easily, and should be disinfected before and after each use. Egg Tray: Made of injection-molded, durable impact-resistant plastic for dependable service. Design includes a flotation chamber and recess screen seat to create a seal between the egg tray and water tray, forcing the water flow to well up through the egg basket. Egg Tray Lid: Slope contours and hinge tabs allow easy removal of the lid with minimal disturbance of eggs. Additional 1" (2.54cm) vertical rib on the lid's lower surface insures positive seal between egg tray and lid, eliminating the possibility of warpage or bowing which allows fry to escape. Fiberglass Screen: PVC coated for longer wear and easier maintenance. Mesh is species specific: 12x12 (12 strands on the horizontal and 12 on the vertical per square inch) for salmon eggs; 14x18 for trout eggs. Note: Other mesh sizes are available on special request through our customer service desk. Locking Pin: Molded to tray and locks, ensuring tray's stability. Clean Out Rod: Constructed of rustproof stainless steel. Enables silt and other debris to be removed without disturbing eggs. Rubber Stopper: Stopper seat is molded into water tray for positive seal. Stoppers are manufactured of a soft rubber compound for longer life and better grip. Stoppers should be checked every three years for replacement.

ISOLATION INCUBATION MariSource's isolation incubation system provides seclusion of a single 4-tray, 8-tray, or 16-tray cabinet of incubating eggs. This system easily retrofits to all available vertical incubation units to protect uncontaminated eggs from infection by virus, bacteria, or parasites. How this isolation incubation system works: Splash and mist are created as water upwells and falls from one tray to another through each incubation unit. This splashing action sends water molecules, and any contaminates attached to them, floating through the air to affect incubators adjacent to a contaminated unit. The MariSource system encases the cabinet to trap infected airborne water molecules and eliminate them through the water flow, thus preventing the spread of disease to uncontaminated eggs. Note: Isolation system will not work on units with front or rear discharge incubation kits.

TRAY SEGREGATION To separate eggs within an individual tray, without providing a separate water source to prevent contamination, MariSource offers tray segregation. Nontoxic plastic dividers secured with a simple glue bead to egg tray base. Application is universal to all MariSource, FAL, or FAL/Heath Tray equipment, and multiple dividers may be used within a single tray.
