Application

This drinker is suitable for farms where animal water access must be assured in winter. It can be used in livestock buildings for cattle and horses, especially where convenient filling and fast water discharge are required. The versions with different lengths and mounting options help adapt the drinker to the arrangement of pens or passageways. It is a solution for places where the drinker will be used intensively and requires adaptation for daily use.

Operating Principle

Water flows into the trough via a high-capacity float valve, which maintains the proper filling level. The sloped bottom and large outlet speed up emptying and help the interior self-clean from standing water. In the heated version, the heating system keeps the drinker operational during frost. A pressure plug is used for draining and closing the outlet, and the connection fits a KG DN 100 pipe.

In Practice

For daily use, it is important that the drinker combines large capacity with easy drainage, which simplifies operation in a barn or stable. Stainless steel is ideal for areas with direct water contact and frequent use. Wall-mounted and floor-mounted versions make it possible to adapt installation to the building’s conditions without changing the operating logic. For the heated variant, it is also essential that it can work in sub-zero temperatures, reducing the risk of water freezing. When choosing a specific variant, both the trough length, mounting type, and working capacity matter.
