Yes you can. I have a separate hatcher which eggs are transferred to on day 18, which is at the correct humidity for hatching. That keeps the gooey mess out of your incubator, and the bacteria from killing your newer eggs. Other than that I can't see any other way to do it right, if you are staggering your hatches.
As for your new incubator - sounds like a perfect hatcher. Just staple some wood or other material to the underside of the hardware cloth to stiffen it and take the "roll" out of your eggs. See photo - hope that helps...Scott
