Large Plasson Drinker with Counterweight Pot

Product Overview

The large Plasson drinker with counterweight pot type is a hanging automatic bell waterer built for commercial layer and broiler houses. The red bell body stands 34 cm tall on a 38 cm round pan with a 4.5 cm wall, and a yellow valve assembly on top connects to the water line. A side-mounted pot-type counterweight float keeps the water level stable even when several birds press the pan at once.

At 778 g and packed 100 pieces per carton with 4 pieces per inner pack, this model sits between the compact small Plasson and the tall export style unit, matching medium to large adult flocks. The counterweight pot design is a familiar sight on poultry farms across many markets, because it tolerates rough daily use and keeps water flowing without power or electronics.

Key Features and Benefits

• Counterweight pot valve - the side pot float balances the water level, so the pan stays even during heavy drinking periods.
• 38 cm wide pan - several birds drink side by side, which reduces crowding at watering points.
• Hanging bell design - the unit lifts off the litter, keeping the water cleaner than floor-placed drinkers.
• 34 cm adult height - sized for grown layers and breeders, with the pan rim at a comfortable drinking height.
• 778 g solid build - thick plastic stands up to years of hanging use and daily rinsing.
• 100 pieces per carton, 4 per inner pack - export packing protects the valves and simplifies counting.

Materials and Quality

The bell is moulded from rigid red plastic with a smooth inner wall that resists algae build-up, and the yellow valve assembly uses a hard plastic stem that closes tightly after each drink. The side counterweight pot is fixed to the pan rim with a sealed joint, so no extra clips can loosen over time. Before shipment, each drinker is checked for even water flow and a tight seal, and the inner packs keep the units protected inside the export carton. The pot valve is tuned so small and large drinking groups both keep water flowing, and the heavy bell keeps the hanging line quiet when birds push against the pan edge. The red body is also easy to spot during evening rounds, even when the house is long and rows of drinkers stretch into the distance.

How to Use and Maintain

Hang the drinker from an overhead water line, set the pan rim at adult back height, and open the supply so the bell fills automatically. Check the water level daily, and rinse the pan and pot weekly to remove feed dust and algae. Every few months, lift the valve stem gently and rinse away limescale so the closing action stays smooth.

• Keep the water line fitted with a filter to protect the pot valve from sediment.
• Hang the unit level so water reaches the drinking channel all around the pan.
• Store spare drinkers indoors and dry to keep the plastic flexible.

Applications

This counterweight pot Plasson suits commercial layer houses, broiler grow-out farms, breeder flocks and medium-sized duck operations that run hanging watering lines. It is also chosen by distributors who supply cooperatives, extension projects and large family farms overseas.

Because it shares the Plasson layout, customers often order it together with the small and standard Plasson models to cover pullets, growers and adults in one house. The 100-piece carton count mixes well in containers with feeders, feeding troughs and transport crates for a balanced equipment shipment. Duck farmers in warmer regions choose this pot valve model because it keeps a steady water depth even when several ducks dip and splash at the same time. The compact 34 cm height also fits shelters with lower roof lines, where the tallest drinker models would not hang comfortably. The side pot design is also familiar to farm staff, so training time stays short.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What does the counterweight pot do?

The side pot balances the pan water level when several birds press the drinking edge at once, so the water does not surge or spill and stays at a constant depth throughout the day.

Q2: How is it different from the standard Plasson?

This model uses the side pot-type counterweight valve and stands 34 cm on a 38 cm pan, while the standard model is taller at 40 cm on a 40 cm pan. Both hang from an overhead water line.

Q3: Does it need power?

No. It works by gravity from the overhead line, with the pot float doing the level control, so it runs reliably without electricity and without complex maintenance schedules on remote farms.

Q4: What is the packing detail?

The carton holds 100 pieces arranged 4 pieces per inner pack. Mixed orders with other Plasson sizes can be quoted by our sales team for container loads, and sample cartons are available for first-time buyers checking the valve action.
