Cast Iron Slatted Floor for Weaner Pigs

The Cast Iron Slatted Floor for Weaner Pigs is a heavy-duty livestock flooring solution developed for nursery, weaning and wean-to-finish facilities where hygiene, secure footing and long service life are important.

High-quality cast iron construction provides excellent structural strength, while profiled bars and drainage openings allow manure and liquids to pass efficiently into the pit below. An anti-slip surface helps provide stable footing for young pigs during feeding, drinking and daily movement.

The flooring can be installed as a fully slatted section or combined with plastic, coated or solid flooring to create separate resting, activity and dunging zones according to pig house design and management requirements.

• Durable Cast Iron Construction: Strong and wear-resistant flooring suitable for intensive commercial pig production.
• Anti-Slip Surface: Profiled standing areas improve grip and support stable movement of weaner pigs.
• Efficient Manure Drainage: V-shaped or optimized bar profiles promote waste passage through the flooring.
• Easy Cleaning: Open slat geometry helps reduce manure accumulation and supports effective pressure washing.
• Self-Supporting Options: Suitable configurations can span manure pits with reduced intermediate supporting components.
• Stable Panel Connections: Side lips or connecting profiles help maintain alignment between adjacent flooring sections.
• Flexible Floor Combination: Can be integrated with plastic slats, solid floors or other compatible livestock flooring materials.
• Commercial Farm Application: Suitable for new pig house construction and flooring renovation projects.

• Cast Iron Slat Body: One-piece cast structure providing the primary load-bearing flooring surface.
• Profiled Slat Bars: Shaped bars designed to combine secure footing with efficient manure drainage.
• Drainage Slots: Openings sized according to animal category, flooring design and applicable project requirements.
• High-Low Surface Profile: Alternating surface levels can provide additional grip for pigs.
• Side Connection Lips: Help adjoining slats connect securely and maintain consistent floor alignment.
• Support Seating: End bearing zones transfer floor loads to walls, beams or structural supports.
• Optional Steel Supports: Additional structural supports can be incorporated for combined flooring layouts or special pit dimensions.

The cast iron slats are positioned above a manure pit or drainage channel and supported at their designed bearing points. Animal loads are distributed through the cast structure to the supporting walls, beams or steel framework.

Manure and liquids pass through the slots into the collection system below, while the profiled upper surface provides a stable walking area. Appropriate floor zoning can combine cast iron slats with solid or other slatted flooring to support resting, activity and dunging behavior.
