Product Name 8L HYGIENIC-VALVE CALF FEEDING BUCKET
Product Image 8L hygienic-valve calf feeding bucket
Product Overview The 8L Hygienic-Valve Calf Feeding Bucket is designed for individual milk and milk-replacer feeding in dairy and beef calf-rearing facilities. Its key feature is an easy-clean flap-type hygienic valve that replaces the conventional ball-check arrangement and provides better access to internal milk-contact surfaces.

A bayonet connection allows the teat to be removed quickly for washing, while an integrated drying aid provides a dedicated position for hygienic storage after cleaning. The acid-resistant plastic bucket also includes an embossed measuring scale and metal carry handle for practical daily use in commercial calf barns.
Key Features
  • 8 L Capacity: Suitable for controlled individual calf milk and milk-replacer feeding.
  • Hygienic Flap Valve: The flap mechanism provides easier access to milk-contact surfaces than conventional ball-check valve designs.
  • Easy Brush Cleaning: Internal valve areas can be reached using a suitable round cleaning brush.
  • Removable Intake Section: Helps eliminate difficult-to-reach areas where milk residues can accumulate.
  • Bayonet Teat Connection: Allows quick installation and removal of the teat without repeatedly threading components.
  • Integrated Drying Aid: Provides a dedicated position for storing the cleaned teat and bayonet ring during drying.
  • Embossed Measuring Scale: Supports consistent preparation of individual feeding quantities.
  • Acid-Resistant Plastic: Designed for repeated milk and milk-replacer feeding and routine calf-house cleaning.
  • Metal Carry Handle: Provides convenient transport, filling and handling during feeding rounds.
  • Accessory Compatible: Mounting brackets, bucket guards, covers and replacement valve components are available according to requirements.
Structural Components
  • Plastic Bucket Body: Durable molded container with integrated volume graduations.
  • Hygienic Valve Body: Milk-control assembly incorporating an easy-clean flap mechanism.
  • Valve Flap: Replaces the conventional ball element and supports easier internal cleaning.
  • Removable Intake Elbow: Provides access to internal milk passages during washing.
  • Bayonet Ring: Secures the calf teat and allows rapid removal and refitting.
  • Calf Teat: Replaceable teat designed for natural suckling during milk feeding.
  • Drying Aid: Holds cleaned teat components away from contaminated surfaces.
  • Metal Handle: Supports carrying and positioning of the complete feeding bucket.
Working Principle Milk or prepared milk replacer is poured into the bucket according to the required feeding quantity. Gravity moves the liquid toward the hygienic valve assembly at the lower section of the bucket.

As the calf suckles the teat, the flap valve controls milk flow toward the nipple. After feeding, the teat can be released through the bayonet connection and the valve components can be opened for thorough cleaning. The accessible internal geometry allows a round brush to reach the milk-contact surfaces before the cleaned components are placed on the drying aid.
