24V Heated Cattle Drinking Bowl

The 24V Heated Cattle Drinking Bowl is a compact automatic livestock waterer designed to provide dependable drinking water for cattle during cold-weather operation. It combines a robust drinking bowl, automatic float valve and low-voltage heating system to help protect the water area against freezing.

The reference professional configuration uses a 24V heating element installed beneath the drinking bowl and protected by a stainless steel cover. An integrated thermostat controls heater operation automatically, while the float valve maintains a consistent water level as livestock drink.

The compact wall or post-mounted design is suitable for dairy barns, beef cattle facilities, calf housing, holding pens and steel structure livestock buildings where individual frost-protected watering points are required.

• 24V Low-Voltage Heating: Provides practical frost protection for livestock watering installations in cold environments.
• Automatic Thermostat: Controls heater operation according to ambient temperature without continuous manual adjustment.
• Cast Iron Drinking Bowl: Heavy-duty construction provides excellent rigidity for demanding cattle housing applications.
• Enamelled Surface: Smooth black enamel improves hygiene, corrosion resistance and cleaning convenience.
• Automatic Float Valve: Maintains a constant drinking water level as cattle consume water.
• High Water Refill: Comparable professional configuration provides water flow up to 8 L/min.
• Stainless Steel Valve Cover: Protects the float assembly and provides easy service access.
• Easy Drainage: Large push-out drain plug simplifies emptying and routine cleaning.
• Flexible Water Connection: Water inlet can be arranged from the right or left according to installation requirements.
• Compact Installation: Suitable for walls, steel posts and livestock pen structures.

The drinking bowl is connected to the livestock water supply through an automatic float valve. When cattle drink and the water level falls, the float moves downward and opens the valve. Fresh water enters until the preset level is restored, after which the valve closes automatically.

During cold weather, the thermostat monitors temperature and automatically energizes the 24V heating element when heating is required. The heater is positioned underneath the drinking bowl so heat is transferred to the water area while remaining protected from direct livestock contact.

The combination of low-voltage heating, automatic refill and constant water-level control provides a simple frost-protected watering solution for winter livestock management.

• Dairy cattle barns
• Beef cattle facilities
• Calf housing
• Replacement heifer pens
• Breeding cattle facilities
• Holding and treatment pens
• Outdoor covered livestock areas
• Cold-region cattle farms
• Steel structure livestock buildings
• Farm renovation projects
• Individual livestock watering stations
• Winter livestock water systems

The compact heated bowl is particularly suitable where separate drinking stations are distributed throughout a cattle barn. It can be integrated with livestock partitions, steel posts and centralized water pipelines while providing localized frost protection at each drinking point.

For complete livestock construction projects, electrical transformer capacity, water pressure, mounting height and frost protection should be coordinated with the barn layout and local winter climate.

• 24V heating configuration
• Heating capacity according to project requirements
• Cast iron bowl configuration
• Float valve specification
• High-pressure or project-specific valve configuration
• Water inlet position
• Water connection size
• Wall mounting hardware
• Pipe mounting brackets
• Steel post mounting accessories
• Protective steel guard
• Transformer specification
• Additional pipe heating cable
• Cold-climate package designed according to local conditions
• OEM packaging and labeling available upon request

Heating output, transformer size, water supply configuration and mounting hardware can be selected according to local climate, livestock type and project requirements.

Select the Installation Position: Mount the bowl where cattle can drink comfortably without interference from gates, feeding equipment or manure handling systems.

Set the Mounting Height: Determine the drinking height according to cattle size and livestock housing requirements.

Secure the Bowl: Fasten the unit firmly to a suitable wall, steel post or pipe using compatible mounting hardware.

Connect the Water Supply: Connect the float valve to the livestock water line and install an accessible isolation valve.

Install the 24V Power Supply: Use an appropriately sized transformer and electrical protection system according to local electrical regulations.

Protect Cables: Route electrical cables where livestock cannot bite, rub against or otherwise damage them.

Test Automatic Operation: Confirm correct water level, refill performance, thermostat switching and heating operation before winter use.

Routine Cleaning: Use the large drain opening to empty the bowl and remove feed residue, sediment and contamination.

Seasonal Inspection: Before freezing weather, inspect the heating element, thermostat, wiring, transformer, valve and water-line protection.

24V heated drinking bowls are suitable for cattle facilities that require individual winter watering points without installing a large heated trough. Units can be distributed between cattle groups according to barn layout and animal numbers.

In steel structure cattle barns, the water bowl can be attached to structural posts or livestock pen equipment while the 24V supply is routed through protected conduit. Water lines can also be insulated or fitted with supplementary heating cable where severe winter conditions require additional protection.

For livestock projects in cold regions, bowl quantity, transformer capacity, water-line design and mounting positions should be planned together before installation.

Q1: Why use a 24V heated cattle drinking bowl?
A low-voltage heating system provides localized frost protection at the livestock drinking point while supporting safe installation in agricultural environments.

Q2: How does the automatic water supply work?
A float valve opens when the water level falls and closes when the preset level has been restored.

Q3: What is the reference heating power?
The comparable SUEVIA Model 341-H uses a 24V, 40W heating element.

Q4: What frost protection can the reference model provide?
The comparable professional model is specified for frost protection down to approximately -20°C under the manufacturer's installation and operating conditions.

Q5: Is the heating element exposed to cattle?
No. In the comparable configuration, the heating element is positioned beneath the bowl and protected by a stainless steel cover.

Q6: Does the heater run continuously?
No. A thermostat automatically controls heater operation according to temperature.

Q7: What is the reference water flow?
The comparable float valve supplies up to approximately 8 L/min, depending on water pressure and installation conditions.

Q8: Is the drinking bowl easy to clean?
Yes. A large push-out drain plug allows rapid emptying and simplifies routine cleaning.

Q9: Can it be mounted on a steel post?
Yes. Wall, pipe and structural-post mounting can be provided with suitable brackets and adapter plates.

Q10: Can the system be customized for cold-region cattle projects?
Yes. Heating capacity, transformer size, water connection, mounting accessories and additional pipe frost protection can be configured according to project requirements.
