Small Plasson Drinker

Product Overview

The small Plasson drinker is the youth-sized member of the hanging bell drinker family, built for pullets and young growers moving from brooder trays to permanent watering. The red bell body stands 30 cm tall above a 25 cm slotted pan ring, with a yellow top valve and red hanging stem. Each drinking slot measures about 3.5 x 3.6 cm, sized for young beaks rather than full adult heads.

At 265 g and packed 100 pieces per carton, this small bell gives growers automatic hanging watering without the size and weight of adult drinkers. It keeps water off the litter and matches the Plasson systems already familiar on poultry farms, so the growing flock transfers smoothly from chick equipment to adult lines.

Key Features and Benefits

• Pullet-sized 25 cm pan - the compact ring suits young growers, with slots sized at 3.5 x 3.6 cm.
• Hanging bell design - lifts the water off the litter, keeping the supply cleaner than floor drinkers.
• Automatic bell valve - water refills as birds drink, maintaining a constant level all day.
• 30 cm youth height - lower than adult Plasson models, matching pullet back height.
• Light 265 g body - easy to hang and adjust as the flock grows through the pullet stage.
• 100 pieces per carton - export packing suits pullet farm orders and distributor restocking.

Materials and Quality

The bell and slotted ring are moulded from red plastic with smooth surfaces that rinse clean quickly, and the yellow valve stem seals tightly after each drink. The slot edges are rounded to protect pullet beaks and combs, and the standing ring base is flat so the unit hangs level. Each drinker is checked for even water flow and tight seals before packing, and the cartons are sealed to protect the valves for export. The slot edges are rounded to protect pullet beaks and combs during this active growth stage, and the bell shell keeps its shape even when bumped against fencing posts during cleaning rounds. The red bell is also easy to spot during evening rounds, which matters in pullet houses where drinkers hang in long rows.

How to Use and Maintain

Hang the drinker from the overhead water line, adjust the height as pullets grow so the slots stay at back level, and open the supply. Rinse the slotted ring every few days to remove feed dust, and check the valve stem monthly for limescale. Move pullets up to the medium or large Plasson once they reach adult size.

• Keep the supply water filtered to protect the small valve opening.
• Hang the unit level so water depth in every slot stays even.
• Raise the drinker height weekly during fast-growing weeks, and watch for spillage on the litter, which signals the unit sits too low.

Applications

This small Plasson suits pullet rearing houses, grow-out farms, small duckling paddocks and free-range setups where young birds need hanging watering. It is also chosen by distributors who supply cooperatives and extension projects raising replacement layers.

Because it shares the Plasson design, customers order it together with the medium and large models to cover pullets, growers and adults in one house. The 100-piece carton mixes well in containers with feeders, feeding troughs and transport crates for a balanced poultry equipment shipment. Replacement layer projects also choose this size, since pullets take well to hanging drinkers once they leave the brooder house.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Which bird stage is this drinker for?

It suits pullets and young growers that need hanging watering. Chicks still in the brooder use the small automatic dome drinker before stepping up to this bell model, once they move to the grow-out stage and begin using hanging watering lines.

Q2: Can I raise it as the flock grows?

Yes, the hanging height adjusts freely on the overhead line. Most farmers raise it weekly during the fast pullet growth weeks, which keeps the drinking slots at a natural neck angle and avoids spillage on the litter. The 3.5 x 3.6 cm slot size keeps pullet beaks inside the channel, which reduces wasted water on the bedding. The 30 cm hanging height also suits pullet houses with standard rail spacing, so installation takes minutes without extra fittings. The yellow top valve is also easy to spot when staff check the hanging row at dusk each evening.

Q3: How does it compare to the medium Plasson?

This small model stands 30 cm on a 25 cm pan with 3.5 x 3.6 cm slots, while the new medium model is 29 cm on a 28 cm pan for larger growers. The two work side by side in houses with mixed-age pullets.

Q4: What is the packing quantity?

Standard packing is 100 pieces per carton. Mixed orders with the medium and large Plasson drinkers can be quoted by our sales team, and sample cartons are available for first-time buyers checking the slot size.
