Anti-Slip Cast Iron Sow Slat

• Anti-Slip High-Low Profile: Alternating surface levels provide additional traction for sows when standing, lying down and rising.
• Heavy-Duty Cast Iron: Designed for concentrated loads in sow gestation and farrowing areas.
• V-Shaped Bar Geometry: Promotes efficient manure drainage through the floor openings.
• Self-Supporting Construction: Suitable configurations can span manure channels with reduced secondary support requirements.
• Easy-Clean Surface: Open drainage geometry helps reduce manure accumulation on the animal-contact surface.
• Stable Module Connection: Side lips help neighboring slats connect securely and maintain consistent floor alignment.
• Long Service Life: Cast iron construction is suitable for intensive commercial livestock environments.
• Flexible Floor Integration: Can be combined with plastic slats, solid concrete areas and other flooring zones.
• Customizable Dimensions: Length and width can be adapted according to manure-pit and pig-house requirements.

• Cast Iron Load-Bearing Frame: Forms the primary structural body of the floor module.
• High-Low Standing Ribs: Create alternating contact levels for enhanced sow traction.
• V-Shaped Bars: Guide manure downward while maintaining a stable standing surface.
• Drainage Slots: Allow manure and liquids to pass into the collection pit.
• Side Connection Lips: Help adjoining floor modules fit together accurately.
• Support Seating: Transfers flooring and animal loads to pit edges, beams or structural supports.
• Optional Steel Support: Can be incorporated in combined or parallel flooring arrangements when required.

• Confirm manure-pit dimensions, floor elevation and slat orientation before installation.
• Verify that pit edges, steel beams or structural supports are level and capable of carrying the design load.
• Position the first slat accurately and maintain the required bearing area at each support point.
• Install adjacent modules so the side connection lips engage correctly.
• Use steel supports where required for combined or parallel floor configurations.
• Check the completed floor for movement, uneven joints and unsupported edges before animals enter the barn.

• Wash and disinfect the slats according to the farm biosecurity schedule.
• Keep manure slots and cleaning openings free from excessive buildup.
• Inspect slats regularly for cracks, deformation or impact damage.
• Check support seating and steel support members during scheduled maintenance.
• Inspect connections between adjacent modules for abnormal movement.
• Replace damaged floor sections before structural performance is affected.

Q: Why use cast iron slats for sows?
A: Cast iron provides high load capacity, durability and structural stability for adult sow housing.

Q: How does the anti-slip surface work?
A: Alternating high and low contact surfaces provide additional hoof grip and help reduce slipping during standing and movement.

Q: How does the floor improve manure drainage?
A: V-shaped bars widen beneath the standing surface, allowing manure to move through the slots more efficiently.

Q: Are the slats self-supporting?
A: Self-supporting configurations are available. The permitted span depends on the slat dimensions, support layout and project loading requirements.

Q: Can the slats be customized?
A: Yes. Length, width and installation arrangement can be adapted according to manure-pit dimensions and project requirements.

Q: Can cast iron flooring be combined with plastic slats?
A: Yes. Combined flooring is commonly used in farrowing pens, with cast iron beneath the sow and warmer plastic flooring in piglet areas.

Q: Can the slats be combined with solid concrete flooring?
A: Yes. Cast iron slatted sections can be incorporated with solid concrete resting or passage areas according to barn design.

Q: What information is required for quotation?
A: Recommended information includes animal category, manure-pit dimensions, required slat length and width, floor layout, support structure and project quantity.
