Upgrades
Many of the features we build into our systems as standard are also available as upgrades to improve existing installed equipment. In other words, older machines can be updated to the latest standard for a fraction of the cost of a new machine.
Some of our upgrade options include:
24Vdc Trolley Actuator Retrofit
A safe, cost-effective replacement for the GC84 230Vac electrical actuator
EmTech is aware of the safety and maintenance issues regarding the GC84 230Vac electrical actuator used in older Buckeye and Chick Master setters. Servicing and replacing these actuators has also become increasingly more difficult as prices rise, and lead times lengthen.
All setters in the EmTech products range have been developed to operate using a 24Vdc actuator. This actuator is completely safe, easy to install and is now available as a retrofit to replace the GC84 230Vac unit. The advantage of the EmTech 24Vdc actuator is that it is IP66 rated and can withstand pressure washing. The system is also fully compatible with Genesis 2 and Genesis 3 controls that operate with the Turn Trolley identification and failure system.
Setter Fan Board Assembly Upgrades
EmTech’s powerful fan board assemblies as supplied in the NovaTech ranges are now available as retrofits for many types of multistage fixed-rack setters and multistage trolley setters including Buckeye and Chick Master models.
A highly effective upgrade for improved energy efficiency.
The improved airflow significantly enhances the setter temperature bandwidth.

Cooling Coil Upgrade for Hatchers and Single-Stage Setters
EmTech offers a cooling coil upgrade for all Buckeye and Chick Master setters and hatchers.
Many of the older hatchers and SS series setter models have an 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 than most systems on the market with parallel vertical columns as compared to only 12 vertical columns with the latest Chick Master coil. Compared to the older Buckeye 150 hatcher, the new EmTech assembly has over three times the capacity.
Improved Temperature Control and Chick Quality
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 also operate perfectly well with higher temperature cooling water.
