Card Hanging Cup

Product Overview

The SL-32 card hanging cup is a yellow plastic suspension cup that clips directly onto a poultry nipple drinker. A straight vertical arm connects the top clamping ring to a small square-edged bowl below, catching every drop that falls from the nipple so the litter under the line stays dry. The bright yellow body makes each cup easy to see during walking inspections, which helps farm staff spot missing or blocked units quickly.

The whole cup is 13 cm tall, and the compact bowl measures 6.5 cm by 6.5 cm, giving just enough space for a chick or grower to drink without tipping the cup. At 16 g per piece, the unit adds very little weight to the drinking pipe, so longer lines can be hung without extra support. The simple one-piece shape has no loose parts, which makes it durable and cheap to replace when worn.

Key Features and Benefits

• Clip-On Card Mount - the top ring snaps around the nipple body and holds the cup at a fixed distance below the water outlet, no tools required during installation.
• Bright Yellow Visibility - the yellow plastic contrasts with red nipples and white pipework, so a missing cup stands out at once during routine line checks.
• Compact 6.5 cm Bowl - the small bowl suits young birds and reduces the standing water area where algae or biofilm could build up between cleanings.
• Light 16 g Weight - low mass keeps the drinking line light and safe, and allows workers to fit hundreds of cups in a single working session.
• One-Piece Molding - arm, ring and bowl are molded together, eliminating glued joints that could split under repeated bird contact.
• Drip-Saving Design - any leakage from the nipple lands inside the bowl instead of on the litter, lowering ammonia levels and foot-pad problems in the house.

Materials and Quality

The cup is injection-molded from wear-resistant engineering plastic in a uniform yellow color. The clip ring is designed to flex many times without cracking, and the bowl edges are smooth to avoid injuring the birds' beaks. Production batches are sampled for impact resistance, and every finished cup is checked visually for correct color, complete molding and a secure clip before it moves to the packing area.

The yellow pigment is mixed into the plastic rather than painted on, so the color stays even through years of indoor use. The clip ring flexes without leaving white stress marks, which indicates good material toughness.

The small bowl size is checked against the nipple outlet during product development, so drips always land inside rather than on the rim. Yellow pigment mixed through the plastic means worn spots show the same color and do not reveal a darker base material. During batch release, samples are dropped from working height to confirm the clip does not crack, and the finished cups are counted by weight before bagging. This attention to material consistency means replacement cups bought later match the originals on the existing line.

How to Use and Maintain

Open the top clip and press it over the nipple body until it clicks into place, then confirm the bowl hangs level under the outlet. At the end of each flock, remove the cups, rinse them with clean water and scrub the bowl with a soft brush if deposits appear. Reinstall after the house has been disinfected, and replace any cup whose clip has lost tension or whose bowl has developed cracks.

Fit the cups before stocking chicks so the brooder line is ready from day one, and check each clip by giving it a light tug after installation. Cups that slide down should be re-seated higher on the nipple body.

Because the bowl is small, rinse it more often than adult-sized cups, since a shallow bowl fills and dries faster between cleanings. Keep spare cups in a dry store room away from direct sunlight to slow aging of the plastic.

Applications

This cup is commonly used in brooder rooms and pullet rearing farms where day-old chicks and young growers need a shallow drip cup under each nipple. Its small bowl size matches the beak size of young birds better than larger adult cups.

It also fits small commercial layer houses, village poultry projects and breeder farms that run hanging nipple lines. Distributors can stock it as a standard spare part next to red cups and nipple bodies, and it mixes well into container loads of drinking-line accessories.
