Tiltable Sow Feeding Trough

• Tiltable Design: Allows rapid emptying of feed residues and wash water.
• Easy Cleaning: The trough can be tilted without removing the complete feeding unit.
• Ergonomic Operation: Compatible handle-operated configurations simplify routine barn work.
• Corrosion-Resistant Materials: Plastic and stainless steel versions are suitable for humid livestock-house environments.
• Smooth Feeding Surface: Reduces feed accumulation and supports efficient washing and disinfection.
• Reduced Feed Waste: Deep trough geometry helps retain feed during sow feeding.
• Flexible Mounting: Suitable mounting solutions are available for wall, panel, grille and farrowing-crate installations.
• Space-Efficient Installation: The trough can be integrated into sow stalls while maintaining useful floor space around the feeding area.

• Trough Body: Durable plastic or stainless steel feeding container.
• Pivot Support: Allows the trough to rotate between feeding and emptying positions.
• Tilting Handle: Provides convenient manual operation in compatible sow-stall configurations.
• Locking Mechanism: Keeps the trough securely positioned during normal feeding.
• Side Supports: Carry the trough load and connect the unit to the pen structure.
• Mounting Brackets: Available for wall, plastic panel, grille or tubular pen installation.
• Stainless Steel Fasteners: Provide corrosion-resistant structural connections where required.
• Optional Feed or Water Pipe: Can be integrated according to the selected feeding arrangement.

• Confirm the sow-stall layout and required trough position before installation.
• Select mounting brackets suitable for the wall, panel, grille or tubular frame.
• Install both pivot supports at the same height and verify alignment.
• Mount the trough and check that it rotates freely without contacting surrounding pen equipment.
• Install the locking mechanism and operating handle where applicable.
• Connect the feed outlet or water components according to the project design.
• Test both feeding and tilted cleaning positions before introducing animals.

• Tilt and empty the trough regularly to prevent stale feed accumulation.
• Wash and disinfect all internal surfaces according to the farm hygiene program.
• Inspect pivot points and locking components for smooth operation.
• Check brackets, bolts and support hardware for looseness.
• Remove compacted feed around corners, outlets and pipe connections.
• Replace worn locking or pivot components when required.

Q: What is the main advantage of a tiltable sow trough?
A: The trough can be rotated for rapid emptying and thorough cleaning without removing the complete feeder from the pen.

Q: Is the trough available in plastic?
A: Yes. Durable plastic configurations are suitable for corrosion-resistant and lightweight sow feeding applications.

Q: Is a stainless steel version available?
A: Yes. Stainless steel versions can also be supplied according to hygiene, durability and project requirements.

Q: What is the reference trough capacity?
A: The documented tiltable sow trough reference has an approximate capacity of 10 liters.

Q: Can it be installed in a farrowing crate?
A: Yes. Tiltable troughs are commonly integrated into farrowing crates to improve feeding access and simplify cleaning.

Q: Can the trough be mounted on different pen structures?
A: Yes. Mounting kits can be configured for walls, board profiles, grilles and compatible tubular pen frames.

Q: Does tilting require special tools?
A: Compatible designs are intended for quick manual tilting and routine emptying without complicated disassembly.

Q: What information is required for quotation?
A: Recommended information includes sow housing type, pen dimensions, trough material, required capacity, mounting structure, feed type and project quantity.
