Heavy-Duty Nursery Wet-Dry Feeder

• Heavy-Duty Construction: Thicker stainless steel chassis suitable for larger nursery pigs and intensive daily use.
• Double-Sided Feeding: Pigs can access feed from both sides of the feeder.
• Wet-Dry Feeding: Allows pigs to eat dry feed or combine feed and water in the trough.
• 304 Stainless Steel: Provides corrosion resistance and easy cleaning in humid pig-house environments.
• Fully Welded Chassis: Improves rigidity and durability compared with light-duty riveted construction.
• Adjustable Feed Flow: Fine adjustment helps match feed delivery to pig size and feed characteristics.
• Distributed Drinking Nipples: Water points are positioned to provide convenient access across the feeder.
• One-Piece Waterline: Simplifies installation and reduces potential connection points.
• Flexible Mounting: Compatible with concrete floors, concrete slats, plastic nursery flooring and gate mounting.
• Expandable Hopper Capacity: Optional hopper extensions can reduce refill frequency.

• Stainless Steel Hopper: Stores dry feed above the feeding mechanism.
• Fully Welded Chassis: Forms the main load-bearing feeder structure.
• Adjustable Feed Gate: Regulates feed discharge onto the shelf.
• Dry-Feed Shelf: Allows pigs to consume feed before mixing it with water.
• Lower Wet-Dry Trough: Collects feed and water for wet feeding.
• Feeding Space Dividers: Organize pig access along both sides.
• Integrated Waterline: Supplies water to the feeder nipples.
• Drinking Nipples: Allow pigs to activate water flow when required.
• Feed Tube Holders: Connect the feeder to automatic feed delivery pipes.
• Mounting Brackets: Secure the feeder to compatible floor or pen structures.

• Confirm feeder size, pen capacity and installation position before mounting.
• Select mounting brackets suitable for concrete, slatted, plastic or gate installation.
• Level and securely anchor the feeder to prevent movement during use.
• Connect the automatic feed tube where applicable.
• Connect the feeder waterline and inspect all fittings for leakage.
• Adjust water flow according to barn pressure and pig requirements.
• Set the initial feed opening conservatively and increase it as required.
• Check access from both sides before introducing pigs.

• Remove old or wet feed accumulation from the shelf and trough.
• Wash and disinfect stainless steel surfaces between production groups.
• Check the feed adjustment mechanism regularly.
• Inspect nipples for blockage, leakage or abnormal water flow.
• Check mounting brackets, welds and feeding dividers for damage.
• Inspect the waterline and quick-connect components during routine maintenance.
• Adjust feed flow as pig size and feed characteristics change.

Q: What makes this feeder heavy-duty?
A: The referenced design uses approximately 1.2 mm 304 stainless steel and a fully welded chassis for greater strength and durability.

Q: What pig size is it designed for?
A: The referenced heavy-duty nursery configuration is suitable for pigs up to approximately 35 kg.

Q: How does wet-dry feeding work?
A: Pigs can eat dry feed from the shelf or activate drinking nipples so water mixes with feed in the lower trough.

Q: Is feed flow adjustable?
A: Yes. Fine feed adjustment allows the opening to be matched to pig size, feed form and intake requirements.

Q: How many feeding spaces are available?
A: Reference double-sided models are available with multiple configurations ranging up to 10 spaces per side.

Q: Can hopper capacity be increased?
A: Yes. Extended hopper and additional hopper-extension configurations are available according to project requirements.

Q: Can it be installed on plastic nursery flooring?
A: Yes. Suitable mounting systems can be supplied for plastic nursery flooring as well as concrete, concrete slats and gate mounting.

Q: What information is required for quotation?
A: Recommended information includes pig weight range, pigs per pen, number of pens, required feeding spaces, feeder length, flooring type, water conditions and feeding-line configuration.
