EmTech offers a range of spare parts for all Chick Master and Buckeye
Models. We can also offer spares for older models, such as Newmark and
Western fixed rack setters.
For older equipment, as long we can have a sample of the original part, it is
usually no problem - EmTech can usually reproduce to the same (or better)
specification.
Please call the EmTech team for a quotation.

EmTech is aware of safety and maintenance issues regarding the GC84 230Vac electrical actuator used in older Buckeye and ChickMaster setters. Servicing and replacement of these actuators has also become increasingly more difficult as prices rise and lead times lengthen.
One of the major issues associated with the use of the GC84 actuator is that when operating from 230Vac there is a very real risk of electrocution. This is because the unit is unable to withstand water penetration from pressure washers and trolley washers. The unit does display an IP55 rating but this is negated due to the groove cut into the shaft to operate the level limit switch. At the very least this actuator requires regular testing under typical portable appliance testing (PAT) regulations.
A viable low cost alternative from EmTech All setters in the EmTech product range have been developed to operate using a 24Vdc actuator. This actuator is completely safe and is now available as a retrofit to replace the GC84 230Vac unit. The advantage with the EmTech 24Vdc actuator is that it is IP66 rated and is able to withstand pressure washing. This system is fully compatible with the Genesis 2 and Genesis 3 controls that operates with the Turn Trolley identification and failure system.
The unit is capable of delivery 1000N operating force and does not require routine PAT testing.
Easy to InstallThe EmTech 24Vdc actuator retrofit is very easy to install - requiring removal of the U shaped bracket and the drilling of a new mounting hole further to the back of the base frame. The new actuator is then mounted with a 6mm bolt and spaced centrally using aluminium bushes. Wiring is a simple operation and the existing setter plugs and sockets can be reused. An interface module is supplied that is connected into the existing trolley socket wiring and positioned on the setter roof. Assemblies for larger setters can be wired into one communal enclosure.

Trolley Actuator EmTech offers a complete solution for the installation of Hatcher
plenums. The Kit includes: panels, exhaust fan, standalone fan speed
controller and pressure sensor.
For Hatcheries requiring an automated pressure control system utilising their
existing installed plenums, EmTech can offer a solution that comprises: pressure
control kit with exhaust fan, standalone fan speed controller and pressure sensor.
Features Include:
High quality nozzle assembly with self- cleaning needle
Air and water operated
Can be supplied as a retrofit solution for older Buckeye air and water systems
Can be supplied as a complete machine kit including nozzles, brackets and valve assembly, or just the nozzle.
High quality stainless steel construction
Contains a non-drip stop valve
Adjustable balance system
Using potable water supply
Uses 50% less water and 30% less air
Delivers 5.5 Litres / hr @ 2.2bar air pressure
compared to other spray humidifiers
The EmTech, EcoMist humidity system
mixes water and compressed air through
a self-cleaning atomiser to produce a
vapour like mist.
EcoMist is now available to replace
humidification systems in almost any
setter or hatcher.
The system is reliable, economic to use
and almost maintenance free.
High capacity cooling coil unit uses
over 35 metres of 15mm copper tube
in 16 rows to maximise cooling
efficiency
The cooling coil is mounted in-bound
and over the top of the fan board -
not the egg mass.
New design eliminates the need for
guttering that can harbour bacteria –
as the excellent heat gain
significantly reduces condensation.
When combined with the EmTech fan
board assembly, this effective
upgrade can allow Buckeye
multistage setters to be operated as
a single stage machine
This upgrade assembly will provide enhanced performance for all SN and
SM series Buckeye multistage setters and fixed-rack setters.
These highly effective cooling coils provide EmTech’s NovaTech and
SimTech setters with a three stage cooling water flow output of 2, 4 and 6
litres per minute for maximum efficiency of energy consumption and
temperature control.
Main Features:
Combines the benefits of the new fan assembly together
with the new EmTech cooling coils.
An excellent and innovative upgrade for any Buckeye
setter that will significantly improve performance by
providing a more stable environment and temperature
bandwidth that facilitates the ability for the setter to
be operated as a single stage setter.
With a return on investment of around one year this package will
improve hatch performance by up to 2% and will also provide the
improvements required for Buckeye SN & SM Multistage setters
to operate as a single stage machine.
Upgrade Kit includes
Set of EmTech Fan board assemblies
Set of EmTech cooling coils
Plumbing and fixing kit
Solenoid and return assemblies
EmTech’s powerful fan board assemblies
as supplied in both the SimTech and
NovaTech ranges are now available as
retrofits for many types of multistage fixed-
rack setters and multistage trolley setters
including Buckeye and ChickMaster models.
The improved airflow significantly enhances
the setter temperature bandwidth.
Thermal imaging has shown very
conclusively that temperature uniformity
is considerably better than that created by
the original equipment.
The standard fan board assembly - 500mm
high air flow capacity unit is a crucial
element of our highly successful NOVATECH
trolley setter. This unit assembly will also fit
into all SN series Buckeye models.
Using the same 500mm high air flow capacity
unit, but utilizing a larger base board, EmTech
can also supply their SimTech fixed-rack fan
board assembly for Buckeye Nova and
ChickMaster fixed-rack setters.
Features and Benefits:
The full Bell Mouth fan assembly facilitates a smooth air intake into the fan with considerably less resistance than the older Buckeye and ChickMaster models.
Highly efficient and lightweight induction motor.
Produces greater than 25% average air flow through the egg mass as compared to the original Nova assembly.
Airflow pattern produces greater air pressure to the floor of the machine corridor, promoting higher air velocities through the lower racks of the machine – thus greater heat transfer and
egg mass.
a tighter temperature bandwidth throughout the
Polypropylene coated plywood board, sealed with plastic edging on all edges, including the central cut out.
Stainless steel hinges for safe and secure mounting into the Nova Setter.
Key lock latches for safe and secure fixing when in operational position.
Robust electrical junction box and wiring to IP66.
Stainless Steel Protection grill – 65mm X 13mm airways.

EmTech offer a cooling coil upgrade for all
Buckeye and ChickMaster setters and
hatchers.
Many of the older hatchers and SS series
setter models have insufficient cooling
capacity and can struggle with the greater
embryonic heat output from today’s
breeds.
The new EmTech cooling coil has a
significantly greater cooling capacity that
most systems on the market with 16 parallel
vertical columns as compared to only 12
vertical columns with the latest ChickMaster
coil. Compared to the older Buckeye 150
hatcher the new EmTech assembly has over
three times the capacity.
EmTech’s highly efficient cooling coils reduce
the problem of chick fluff collecting on the coil
therefore removing the need to clean the fluff
from the coil to maintain cooling capacity.
The new coil can operate perfectly well with
higher temperature cooling water.
EmTech can offer a cost effective upgrade as a solution
for the now obsolete Omron CQM1 series PLC and
modules using the CJ platform. This economical
upgrade only replaces the PLC components while still
utilizing the main control switchgear.
EmTech also offers full control upgrade solutions to
replace entire existing incubator and hatchery control
systems regardless of the make of incubator or control
system employed wether it be Buckeye Aces or electro-
mechanical,
for example.
