⚙️ How the Egg Turning Grid Works
The egg turning grid is the supporting frame of the automatic turning system of COSMO incubators. Inside, metal separators (inserts) are inserted, creating neat rows of eggs. The grid is connected to the gearmotor via a joint: when the motor is activated, the grid slowly moves back and forth, causing the eggs to roll on themselves.
This movement replicates exactly what the mother hen does in nature: she rotates her eggs periodically to prevent the embryo from adhering to the internal membranes of the shell. Without proper rotation, the embryo develops poorly or dies.

🔍 When to replace this part
Replace the egg turning rack if you notice:
- ✓ Deformations or bends: the grid is no longer perfectly flat and the eggs roll unevenly.
- ✓ Cracks or breaks: points of structural failure that compromise stability.
- ✓ Abnormal noise: rubbing or clicking during voltage supply.
⚠️ Why it happens and what you risk
Grills warp for three main reasons: aggressive cleaning with corrosive chemicals, or accidental impacts during maintenance. A warped grill causes irregular voltage.
The result? Embryos that stick to the shell and die, and hatching rates plummet. People often think it's the gearmotor or the temperature that's to blame, but the problem is actually the worn grid.

🔧 Assembly in 5 simple steps
⏱ Estimated time: 10-15 minutes | 🔧 Tools: None (plug-and-play assembly)
- Turn off and unplug the incubator
Unplug the machine and wait for it to cool down.
- Remove the old grill
Unhook the grille bracket from the gearmotor pin (gray disk). Lift the grille and remove it.
- Place the new grid
Place the new grille on the bottom mesh, aligning the bracket with the gearmotor pin.
- Hook up to the gearmotor
Insert the grill bracket onto the cylindrical metal pin of the gearmotor. It should fit securely.
- Final test
Reconnect the incubator, turn it on, and check that the grid moves back and forth without jamming. The movement should be smooth and silent.
🛡️ How to make it last longer
- ✓ Every 6 months: check that there are no deformations or points of wear.
- ✓ After each cycle: clean the grill with a damp cloth and a gentle disinfectant (no aggressive products): Glutasan Fiem
📌 Signs of wear: If the inserts start to move in the guides or if you notice even minimal bends, it's time to replace the grill.
🔗 Spare parts frequently purchased together
🔗 Egg Turning Grid Insert
The metal separators that separate the eggs into rows. If you replace the rack, also check the condition of the inserts: they often wear out together.
FIEM Code: INSERT.CIP28-40-MG50-COSMO
🔗 Egg Turning Gear Motor
The motor that drives the grill. If the voltage is slow, erratic, or jammed, it could be the gear motor and not the grill.
FIEM Code: 117/F
🔗 Plastic Joint
The joint connecting the gearmotor to the grille. If it's worn or broken, the grille won't move even when the motor is running.
FIEM Code: F117M
