24V Heated Plastic Sheep Drinker

The 24V Heated Plastic Sheep Drinker is an automatic livestock drinking bowl developed for goat-farming-equipment/" target="_blank" class="keylink">sheep, goats and other compatible small livestock in cold-weather housing systems. It combines a durable polyethylene drinking bowl, automatic float valve and low-voltage heating system to maintain dependable water access during freezing conditions.

The reference configuration uses a 24 V, 20 W heating element installed behind the removable stainless steel float-valve cover. The heating component is positioned away from direct animal contact, while an integrated thermostat automatically activates and deactivates the heater according to ambient temperature.

Its compact wall-mounted configuration makes the drinker suitable for commercial sheep barns, goat houses, lambing facilities, livestock pens and steel structure farm buildings. Water connection and frost-protection arrangements can be adapted according to project requirements and local climate conditions.

• 24V Low-Voltage Heating: Reference configuration uses a 24 V, 20 W heating element for cold-weather valve protection.
• Automatic Thermostat Control: Heating switches on at approximately 5°C and switches off at approximately 12°C.
• Frost Protection: Reference design provides frost protection down to approximately -10°C under appropriate installation conditions.
• Robust Plastic Bowl: Premium polyethylene construction provides corrosion resistance, low weight and easy cleaning.
• Automatic Float Valve: Maintains a constant water level and provides rapid water replenishment.
• Protected Heating Element: Heating components are positioned behind the stainless steel float-valve cover and away from direct animal contact.
• Removable Stainless Steel Cover: Protects the valve assembly while allowing convenient maintenance access.
• Quick Drainage: Drain plug in the bowl bottom simplifies emptying and routine sanitation.
• Flexible Water Connection: 1/2-inch male brass connection can be arranged from either the right or left side.
• Commercial Farm Integration: Suitable for installation with galvanized penning, livestock water pipelines and steel structure sheep buildings.

During normal operation, the drinker is connected to a pressurized livestock water supply. As animals consume water, the float drops and opens the inlet valve. Fresh water enters the bowl until the preset operating level is restored, after which the float closes the valve automatically.

When ambient temperature falls to approximately 5°C, the integrated thermostat activates the 24 V heating element. The heater supplies localized warmth around the valve area to reduce the risk of freezing. When temperature rises to approximately 12°C, the thermostat switches the heater off.

The incoming water pipe must also be protected in freezing climates. A separate 24 V frost-protection heating cable can be installed along exposed feed pipes according to local climate and project conditions.

Reference technical data are based on the comparable SUEVIA Model 130P-H. Final specifications, transformer capacity and frost-protection design should be confirmed according to local voltage, installation conditions and project requirements.

• Commercial sheep farms in cold climates
• Goat farms and dairy goat facilities
• Lambing barns and ewe housing areas
• Individual and group livestock pens
• Indoor livestock buildings
• Covered outdoor livestock areas
• Steel structure sheep and goat houses
• Cold-region breeding farms
• Livestock farm renovation projects
• Agricultural engineering and livestock development projects

The heated drinking system can be configured according to local climate, farm layout and livestock requirements. Available customization may include:

• 24 V heating configuration
• Transformer capacity according to installation quantity
• Water inlet arrangement
• Right-side or left-side water connection
• Float valve configuration
• Mounting brackets and support plates
• Installation height according to animal size
• Supply-pipe frost-protection heating cable
• Pipe insulation and protective covers
• OEM identification and export packaging

Final configuration can be designed according to local climate, livestock species, minimum winter temperature and farm conditions.

Mounting: Install the drinking bowl securely on a stable wall, livestock partition or suitable structural support. Select mounting height according to animal size and drinking behaviour.

Water Connection: Connect the 1/2-inch inlet to a clean pressurized livestock water supply. The connection can be arranged from either side according to pipeline layout.

Electrical Supply: Connect the 24 V heating element through an appropriately sized transformer. Electrical installation should comply with applicable local standards and be completed by qualified personnel.

Feed-Pipe Protection: The drinker's valve heater does not automatically protect the entire incoming pipeline. In freezing environments, exposed water pipes should be protected with suitable heating cable and insulation.

Cleaning: Use the bowl drain plug to empty the drinking area and remove feed particles, sediment and organic contamination.

Seasonal Inspection: Before winter, inspect the heating cable, thermostat, transformer, float valve and water-line protection system to ensure reliable cold-weather operation.

24V heated sheep drinkers can be integrated into complete cold-climate livestock projects together with galvanized sheep pens, water pipelines, feeding systems, drainage facilities and insulated steel structure buildings. Transformer capacity and heating-circuit layout can be planned according to the number of drinking points and farm electrical design.

Q: How does the 24V heating system work?
A: A low-voltage heating element is installed behind the float-valve cover. An integrated thermostat activates heating at approximately 5°C and switches it off at approximately 12°C.

Q: Is the drinker frost-free in winter?
A: The reference design provides frost protection around the valve area down to approximately -10°C under suitable conditions. The incoming water pipe requires separate frost protection when exposed to freezing temperatures.

Q: Does the water refill automatically?
A: Yes. A mechanical float valve maintains a constant water level and replenishes the bowl automatically as animals drink.

Q: Can sheep and goats use the same model?
A: Yes. The reference configuration is suitable for sheep, goats and other compatible livestock when installed at the correct drinking height.

Q: Is a transformer required?
A: Yes. A suitable transformer is required to provide the 24 V supply for the heating circuit when connected to standard mains power.

Q: Can the water connection be installed on either side?
A: Yes. The reference configuration provides a 1/2-inch male brass connection that can be arranged from the right or left side.

Q: Can SHEWUYOU customize the winter watering system?
A: Yes. Heating configuration, transformer capacity, pipe protection, mounting arrangement and related livestock equipment can be supplied according to project requirements.
