Small-Slot Concrete Slatted Floor for Piglets

• Small Slot Design: Narrow openings are designed for piglet and young-pig housing applications.
• Stable Tread Area: Wide concrete bars provide secure footing and distribute animal loads across the floor.
• Efficient Manure Drainage: Parallel slots allow manure and liquids to pass into the pit beneath the flooring.
• Durable Precast Concrete: High-strength concrete construction is suitable for intensive commercial pig production.
• Modular Floor Layout: Individual precast sections can be arranged according to pen and manure-pit dimensions.
• Easy Barn Cleaning: Slatted construction reduces manure accumulation in the animal area and supports efficient wash-down.
• Multiple Length Options: Different panel lengths are available to suit various building layouts.
• New Build and Retrofit Use: Suitable for new pig houses and replacement of existing nursery flooring.

• Precast Concrete Body: Main load-bearing structure manufactured as a factory-produced floor panel.
• Narrow Drainage Slots: Longitudinal openings allow manure and liquid waste to pass through the floor.
• Concrete Tread Bars: Provide the standing and walking surface between adjacent slots.
• Structural Reinforcement: Reinforcement configuration is selected according to panel dimensions and design loads.
• Bearing Ends: Panel ends transfer loads onto concrete walls, beams or other engineered supports.
• Optional Support Beams: Reinforced concrete or project-specific structural supports can be incorporated where required.

Q: Why use smaller slots for piglets?
A: Narrower openings provide a more suitable walking surface for young pigs while still allowing manure and liquids to drain through the floor.

Q: What is the reference slot width?
A: The referenced SIB piglet flooring uses a 10 mm slot configuration.

Q: What pig weight is the floor designed for?
A: The referenced 10 mm slot system is specified for piglets and young pigs up to approximately 40 kg body weight.

Q: Are different panel lengths available?
A: Yes. The referenced range includes multiple lengths from approximately 800 mm to 1800 mm, and project-specific configurations can be discussed.

Q: Can this flooring be installed over manure pits?
A: Yes. Precast concrete slats are designed to span appropriately engineered manure channels or pits with adequate end bearing and structural support.

Q: Can concrete slats be combined with plastic flooring?
A: Yes. Mixed floor layouts can incorporate concrete slats, plastic nursery flooring and solid resting sections according to project requirements.

Q: Can the floor dimensions be customized?
A: Yes. Dimensions and support arrangements can be selected according to barn layout, animal category and structural requirements.

Q: What information is required for quotation?
A: Recommended information includes pig weight range, barn drawings, manure-pit dimensions, required floor area, span, preferred slot width and project quantity.
