Product Overview

The Round Stainless Steel Pig Drinking Bowl provides controlled drinking-water access for weaners, finishing pigs and breeding sows. Its compact circular profile combines durable stainless steel construction with a protected drinking nipple positioned inside the bowl.

Water is released when the pig activates the nipple, helping reduce unnecessary spillage compared with unrestricted open-water systems. The bowl catches water around the drinking point and allows pigs to drink in a natural position.

Different bowl diameters and mounting heights can be selected according to animal size, making the drinker suitable for new pig farm construction, steel-structure pig houses and renovation projects.

Key Features
  • Stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance and long service life.
  • Round bowl profile with smooth surfaces for convenient cleaning.
  • Bottom-positioned drinking nipple helps control water delivery.
  • Reduces drinking-water spillage and unnecessary slurry volume.
  • Available in sizes for weaners, finishing pigs and sows.
  • Compact wall or pen-panel installation saves usable floor space.
  • Rounded animal-contact surfaces improve safety and hygiene.
  • Suitable for individual pens and commercial group housing.
  • Simple mechanical operation requires no electrical control.
  • Easy integration with standard pig-house water supply pipelines.
Structural Components
  • Round Stainless Steel Bowl: Collects water around the drinking point and provides comfortable access.
  • Drinking Nipple: Releases water only when activated by the pig.
  • Nipple Pipe: Connects the drinking valve to the main water supply.
  • Valve Adjustment: Allows water delivery to be matched to the selected configuration.
  • Mounting Bracket: Secures the drinker to pen panels, boards, bars or suitable walls.
  • Fastening Hardware: Provides stable installation under repeated animal contact.
Working Principle

The pig places its snout inside the drinking bowl and activates the nipple valve. Water flows directly into the bowl near the animal's mouth, allowing immediate consumption.

When pressure on the nipple is released, the valve closes automatically. This demand-controlled principle limits continuous water discharge and helps keep the surrounding pen area drier.

Correct mounting height and water-flow adjustment are important for achieving convenient animal access and efficient water utilization.

  • Install the lower edge at the recommended height for the selected animal group.
  • Secure the bowl firmly to the wall, partition or pen structure.
  • Connect the nipple pipe to a clean and adequately regulated water supply.
  • Flush new pipelines before connecting the drinking valve.
  • Check nipple operation, water flow and leakage before animals enter the pen.

Maintenance:

  • Inspect drinking bowls daily for manure and feed contamination.
  • Clean the bowl regularly to prevent deposits and biofilm formation.
  • Activate each nipple periodically to verify adequate water flow.
  • Inspect filters and water-pressure regulators according to the farm maintenance schedule.
  • Check brackets and fasteners for looseness or mechanical damage.
  • Descale or service valves when mineral deposits restrict water flow.
Product FAQ

Q: Which pigs can use the round drinking bowl?
A: Reference sizes are available for weaners, finishing pigs and breeding sows, allowing the drinking system to be matched to different production stages.

Q: Why use a bowl instead of a conventional hanging nipple?
A: The bowl collects water around the nipple and allows pigs to drink directly from the drinking area, which can reduce water lost to the floor.

Q: How many pigs can use one bowl?
A: Comparable round models are rated for approximately 10 weaners, 10 finishers or 5 sows per bowl depending on size and farm management conditions.

Q: Is the drinker made entirely from stainless steel?
A: The main bowl is stainless steel. Valve, seals, pipework and fittings depend on the selected configuration.

Q: Is installation height important?
A: Yes. Correct height improves animal access and helps reduce unnecessary water spillage.

Q: Can it be mounted on different pen structures?
A: Yes. Mounting kits can be configured for board profiles, steel plates, pen bars and suitable walls.

Q: What information is required for a quotation?
A: Please provide pig production stage, number of pigs per pen, required quantity, water-line specification, preferred bowl size, mounting structure and project destination.
