Duck Hanging Cup with Big Bowl

Product Overview

The SL-138 duck hanging cup with big bowl is an oversized drip-catching cup built for heavy drinking birds. Large ducks and breeding ducks shake off far more water after each sip than chickens do, so a small dish quickly overflows. This model uses a wide square bowl of about 12 cm, which holds far more shake-off water while the birds keep drinking from the nipple above. The cup hangs from a slanted arm that clips onto the drinking pipe at the top.

The whole unit stands about 14 cm tall from the pipe clamp to the bottom of the bowl, the large bowl measures about 12 cm across, and each complete cup weighs 54 g. The bright red colour makes it easy to see inside a working house, and the clamp style suits the common pipe used on automatic duck drinking lines. One export carton packs 500 pieces, enough to equip a long duck house at one time.

Key Features and Benefits

• Oversized 12 cm bowl - the wide square dish catches far more shake-off water than a small cup, which matters for heavy ducks that drink in big gulps.
• Slanted hanging arm - the angled arm positions the bowl directly under the nipple while keeping the clamp rigid on the pipe.
• High 14 cm profile - the taller body clears the backs of ducks feeding close to the line and avoids collisions during movement.
• Solid 54 g build - the heavier moulding resists cracking when bumped by ducks and by cleaning rods at the end of a flock.
• Easy-to-clean open shape - the square bowl has no tight corners, so feed dust and algae rinse out with a hose.
• 500 pieces per box - the carton count covers a long run of drinking line and keeps counting simple for both farms and dealers.

Materials and Quality

The cup is injection moulded from red engineering plastic chosen for toughness at cold water temperatures and resistance to common farm disinfectants. The bowl edges are rounded, so ducks resting their breasts against the line are not cut by sharp corners, and the clamp lips are moulded with the same plastic grade to avoid brittle breaking during installation. Samples from each batch are bent and clipped repeatedly during inspection before cartons are sealed for export shipment. The 54 g weight means the bowl keeps its shape even when a heavy duck leans a breast against it, so the collected water layer stays level instead of sloshing over one side.

How to Use and Maintain

Clip the top clamp onto the drinking pipe so the big bowl sits directly under the nipple and hangs level. Run the line briefly and confirm every drop from the nipple lands inside the dish. During weekly inspection, tip out any collected feed mash and rinse the bowl with clean water. At the end of a flock, unclip the cups, wash them with mild disinfectant and check the clamp teeth; discard any piece where the bowl wall is cracked, because a cracked big bowl will leak onto the bedding. Check the water level collected in the dish during morning walks: a dry bowl means the nipple above it is not dripping, while a dish overflowing suggests line pressure needs adjustment.

Applications

This cup is the preferred choice on lines serving heavy meat ducks, Peking-type ducks and breeder ducks, where daily water intake is high and shake-off water tends to flood small cups. It works well on deep-litter houses, because the large dish keeps the whole bed around the drinking line drier than standard cups. On slat and mesh floors it also reduces the amount of water reaching the pit, which keeps manure drier and easier to handle.

It is equally at home in semi-open duck houses and fully closed environment-controlled houses, where drinking lines are raised as the birds grow. Farmers running mixed ages often install the big-bowl cups on the lines used by the older birds, while keeping smaller cups for the starter lines. Distributors serving duck regions can stock this size as the heavy-duck option alongside the standard cups.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Why do heavy ducks need a bigger bowl?

Heavy ducks lift their heads high after drinking and shake off large amounts of water. A small cup overflows quickly, while this 12 cm bowl holds the shake-off until the next refill cycle of the line.

Q2: Does the big bowl get in the ducks' way?

The slanted arm keeps the dish tucked under the pipe and away from the feeding area. At 14 cm tall it clears duck backs, and farmers commonly use it on lines already fitted to their houses.

Q3: Can I buy a mixed box of cup sizes?

The standard export packing is 500 pieces per carton of this model. For mixed orders with other cups or nipples, tell us the quantities and we will quote a combined packing and container plan.

Q4: How do I clean algae from the bowl?

Use warm water with a mild disinfectant and a soft brush. Because the bowl has no narrow corners, most residue rinses off with a hose during routine line cleaning at the end of a flock.
