INTRODUCTION
Sericulture plays an important role in the national
economy, especially the result of the silkworm
breeding process is crucial for the production of
high-quality silk fibers. For successful silkworm
rearing, it is first of all important to properly
organize the incubation period of eggs. [2] By
precisely controlling the microclimatic conditions
during incubation, it is possible to ensure healthy
development and even growth of eggs. [7] In this
context, providing ideal conditions for the revival
of silkworm eggs by creating efficient and modern
incubator systems shows its relevance.[3,8,10]
Traditional methods of incubating silkworm EGGs
are time-consuming and often difficult to maintain
an optimal microclimate. There are shortcomings
in controlling important factors such as
temperature, humidity, and air circulation that can
hinder egg development. [5] Therefore, there is a
need to improve the design of incubators using
innovative methods and mechatronic systems. In
this study, a new incubator system with
microclimate control based on a rotating disk is
proposed, which allows for more efficient
organization of egg development conditions. [1,4]
The main goal of the presented research is to
create a modern incubator for the uniform
development of silkworm eggs. This incubator
creates precise temperature and humidity control

using a rotating disk and other mechatronic
components. It also aims to continuously monitor
and manage the microclimate conditions inside the
incubator by installing cooling, heating and
ventilation systems. In this way, the process of
regeneration of silkworm eggs is optimized and
the soil for growing high-quality silk fiber is
created.[3]

So, this article will show you how to design an
incubator based on the size of the turntable to
successfully incubate silkworm eggs. The
incubator, equipped with cooling, heating and
ventilation systems, serves to improve the growth
of silkworm eggs by regulating the microclimate.
The results of this study will help create practical
solutions to improve the efficiency of sericulture
and high-quality silk production.
METHODS
In this study, an incubator system based on a
rotating disk was developed for the uniform
development of silkworm eggs. During the design
process, the size and speed of rotation of the disk
were taken into account as the main factors. It is
expected that the rotation of the disk will create a
uniform microclimate around the eggs, so that the
eggs will have the same temperature and humidity
level.[6] The radius, thickness, and materials of the
rotating disk were selected, and the location of
components inside the incubator and the distance
between moving parts were determined.

Fig. 2. Design drawing of the new hatchery
Various sensors for monitoring microclimate
parameters were used in the design of the
incubator system. In this system, the SCD 41 sensor
was selected to monitor the humidity level, and the
CO2 sensor was selected to monitor the carbon
dioxide level. The information received by the
sensors is used to control the movement of the
rotating disk and other mechatronic systems.[9]
The location of sensors is also an important factor,
since they track and evenly distribute the
microclimate conditions in each layer inside the
incubator.
An electric heater has been installed at the bottom
of the incubator to ensure optimal system
temperature.
The
electric
heater
starts
automatically when the temperature does not
reach the desired level, and turns off when the set
temperature is reached. This serves to maintain an
optimal temperature for the eggs inside the
incubator. Since the temperature level is
constantly monitored, this helps to avoid
unnecessary cooling or heating of the eggs during
development, resulting in a uniform incubation
environment.[10]
Another important part of the incubator is the
cooling system, which keeps the internal
temperature at a normal level when the heat level
increases. The refrigerator starts when the outside
temperature is high or the ventilation system is not
cooling enough. This helps prevent overheating
inside the incubator and ensures that eggs develop
in stable conditions. The location and efficiency of
the refrigerator allow for a safe and efficient

microclimate for eggs.
RESULTS
By building the incubator in a new design,
significant improvements were made in the revival
of silkworm eggs. With the help of sensors and
control systems, microclimate factors, including
temperature, humidity and air circulation, were
maintained at an optimal level. According to the
results obtained, the stability of these indicators
had a great impact on the uniform development of
eggs. This allowed silkworm eggs to survive in
uniform and stable conditions, providing better
performance than traditional methods.
During the experiment, the results of reviving
silkworm eggs were compared with traditional
incubation methods. According to the study,
thanks to the new design of the incubator, the egg
survival rate increased by 4.1%. This difference
depends on the content of eggs in optimal
conditions as a result of precise control of the
microclimate parameters. It is due to the control of
temperature and humidity that eggs develop in the
same conditions and achieve high survival rates.

As a result of controlling the microclimate inside
the incubator, the cocoon yield also significantly
improved compared to traditional methods. As a
result of research, it was noticed that the yield of
cocoons increased by 5.8%. This is due to the
creation of conditions that ensure the uniform
development and healthy growth of eggs. The
optimized microclimate has promoted the growth
of silkworms, promoted the production of high-
quality silk fibers, and improved overall
productivity.

Fig. 4. Efficiency of silkworm incubation using a new incubator
Full control of microclimatic conditions by means
of control systems ensured an even distribution of
temperature and humidity inside the incubator.
Thanks to the rotation of the disk and mechatronic
control, temperature and humidity were evenly
distributed in the layers where the eggs were
located, which ensured healthy egg development.
As a result, the microclimate was optimally
controlled and distributed evenly, which had a
positive effect on the egg recovery process.
DISCUSSION
This study demonstrated the benefits of
controlling the microclimate with a new incubator
design when incubating silkworm eggs. Compared
to traditional methods, thanks to the rotating disk
of the incubator, eggs were always kept at the same
temperature and humidity, as well as ensuring
their uniform development. This resulted in
healthy egg development and increased overall
survival. This technological approach opens up
great opportunities for improving the efficiency of
silk production and may be further developed in
the future.
The use of control systems has shown its
effectiveness in precise control of the
microclimate. In particular, continuous monitoring
of temperature and humidity parameters using
sensorsSCD 41 and CO2 created stable conditions
for eggs. The data collected by these sensors is
processed by an automatic control system that
maintains a balance of temperature, humidity and
air flow. The results showed that thanks to the use
of sensors, egg survival was high, which confirms
the effectiveness of the new system.
The cooling and heating systems installed to
control the microclimate in the incubator also
successfully coped with their task. These systems
helped maintain optimal conditions inside the
incubator,
especially
when
the
outside
temperature was too high or too low. These
components provided a stable microclimate inside
the incubator and contributed to the uniform
development of eggs. Studies have shown that the
use of cooling and heating systems significantly
reduces external factors affecting the development
of silkworm eggs.
The ventilation system used in the study played an
important role in ensuring the necessary air
circulation for the eggs. When the CO2 level rises,
the ventilation system automatically starts
refreshing the air inside the incubator. This, in
turn, created conditions that ensured healthy egg
development and preserved the microclimate. At
the same time, due to the uniform distribution of

air circulation, eggs developed in the same
microclimatic conditions, productivity and quality
indicators improved. This study confirmed the
effectiveness of the ventilation system.
Brief content
This study demonstrated the advantages of a
modern incubation system for successfully
growing silkworm eggs. Stable egg development
was ensured by constant monitoring of the
microclimate parameters using a rotating disk and
control systems. This incubator design has
produced superior results compared to traditional
methods and created new opportunities to
increase productivity in sericulture. The new
system provided the conditions necessary for the
development of silkworm eggs.
The results of the study showed that the survival
rate of silkworm eggs increased by 4.1%, and the
yield of cocoons increased by 5.8%. These
indicators confirmed the effectiveness of the new
incubator and its advantage over traditional
methods. By controlling the microclimate
conditions, the eggs developed at optimal
temperature and humidity. This makes it possible
to get high-quality products in silk production.
Using this system, it is possible to increase the
economic efficiency of sericulture.
Due to the combination of control systems and a
rotating disk, caviar development was ensured in
the same conditions. The temperature, humidity
and CO2 levels inside the incubator were
constantly monitored by sensors and ventilation
systems. This system has proven to be effective in
controlling the microclimate, resulting in a high-
quality silkworm crop. It has been shown that this
method of managing microclimatic conditions is an
important factor in the successful cultivation of
silkworms.
CONCLUSION
In conclusion, it should be noted that the incubator
equipped with a rotating disk and a mechatronic
system turned out to be a modern and effective
solution for the successful incubation of silkworm
eggs. This research has opened up new
opportunities for achieving higher quality and
efficiency in sericulture. In the future, this
incubator design can be further developed and
applied to other sericulture technologies to
improve yield and production efficiency.
