This article addresses the design of the structural and mechanical system of a rotary-disc incubator intended for the incubation of silkworm eggs and provides a calculation-based justification of its principal components. The geometric dimensions of the working chamber were selected with due consideration of biological and technological requirements, minimization of heat losses, air exchange, and the rational arrangement of egg boxes. The obtained results demonstrate that the proposed design provides compactness, energy efficiency, ease of maintenance, and suitability for operation under humid environmental conditions.Keywords
