Three Way Flat Cup

Product Overview

The SL-34 three way flat cup is a red plastic hanging drip cup built from a vertical strap and a shallow flat-bottomed bowl. The strap carries a keyhole slot near the top, which lets the unit hook onto the drinking line support quickly, and the shallow flat bowl below catches drips from the nipple above. Its low-profile bowl dries fast between drinks, which suits farms that want to minimize standing water.

The whole hanger is 11 cm tall and weighs only 9.4 g, making it one of the lightest drip cups in the range. The flat bowl spreads caught water thinly, so it evaporates or is shaken off quickly instead of sitting as a deep pool. The bright red color keeps each cup visible during house walks, and the simple shape rinses clean in seconds after each flock.

Key Features and Benefits

• Keyhole Strap Slot - the slotted top hooks onto line supports in seconds, so installation does not need clamps or extra fittings.
• Shallow Flat Bowl - the thin, flat-bottomed bowl spreads drips into a shallow film that dries quickly, reducing biofilm and odor buildup.
• Compact 11 cm Height - the short hanger fits tight brooder spaces and keeps the bowl close under the nipple outlet.
• Light 9.4 g Weight - minimal mass adds almost no load to the support and keeps shipping costs low per thousand cups.
• Bright Red Visibility - the red plastic contrasts with white pipe and yellow fittings, so inspectors spot missing units at a glance.
• One-Piece Molding - strap and bowl are molded together, with no glued joints that could split under repeated bird contact.

Materials and Quality

The red strap and flat bowl are molded in one piece from flexible engineering plastic. The keyhole slot edges are reinforced so they do not tear when hooked repeatedly onto supports, and the flat bowl rim is rounded to protect the birds. The plastic stays resilient under normal house temperatures instead of turning brittle after a few months.

Each cup is visually checked for complete molding, smooth slot edges and correct color before packing. The flat bowl is sampled for wall consistency, so it stays flat and level when hung and does not warp into a drip channel.

The red strap and flat bowl are one molded piece, and the keyhole edges are reinforced to resist tearing from repeated hooking. The flat base keeps its shape when the cup is loaded with caught water.

The red strap and flat bowl are molded as one piece, and the keyhole slot edges are reinforced to resist tearing from repeated hooking and unhooking. The flat base keeps its shape when the cup is loaded with caught water, rather than warping into a drip channel. Batches are visually checked for slot edge smoothness, and finished cups are sorted for correct red shade. The shallow flat bowl dries quickly after rinsing, which reduces biofilm growth and makes routine maintenance faster than on deep standing-water cups.

How to Use and Maintain

Hook the keyhole slot onto the line support so the flat bowl hangs level under the nipple outlet. Adjust the strap position until the bowl sits just below the water point without touching the actuation pin.

Rinse the cup with clean water at the end of each flock; the flat bowl dries quickly after rinsing, which discourages biofilm. Check the slot edges for wear during routine walks, and replace any cup whose bowl has warped or whose strap has cracked.

Hook the keyhole slot from above so the wide end slides over the support; this prevents the cup from lifting off when birds bump the line.

Because the flat bowl dries fast, routine rinsing takes only a wipe; still check the slot edges weekly for wear and retire cups with stretched holes.

Applications

This flat cup suits broiler and layer houses where farms want a drip collector that does not hold standing water. The shallow design is also useful in warm houses where deep bowls would quickly grow algae.

Small farms and village poultry projects use it as a low-cost add-on to nipple lines, and distributors stock it as a lightweight spare. It combines with nipples, tees and float valves in mixed export orders for poultry equipment buyers.
