6 liter Poultry Drinker

Product Overview

The 6 liter Poultry Drinker is a workhorse gravity waterer for commercial floor-raised broilers and layers. A tall translucent 6-liter barrel feeds a 27.5 cm red tray, with printed dimensions of 26 cm overall height, 16.5 cm top diameter, and tray details of 4 cm width and 4.5 cm height. The complete unit weighs 292.6 grams and packs 100 pieces per carton, a format commonly stocked by farm supply distributors.

The deeper tray wall keeps the water channel defined, so several birds can drink without sloshing each other. Because the barrel holds more water than backyard models, refill intervals stretch across a full day in moderate weather, which reduces labor in houses where staff walk long rows. The two-piece design means no tools are needed between barrel and tray. In practical terms, this size lets a keeper walk the house once a day, top up the barrels that are running low, and move on, which is why it sells well among mid-scale farmers who cannot justify automatic lines.

Key Features and Benefits

• 6 liter reservoir - Matches the daily water intake of a sizable broiler or layer group, cutting refill rounds.
• Deep defined tray channel - The 4 cm wide, 4.5 cm high tray rim holds water steadily and reduces spillage when birds push in to drink.
• Gravity auto-fill - The barrel maintains a consistent tray level without electricity, float valves or adjustment.
• Visible barrel level - The translucent barrel lets staff estimate remaining water from across the pen.
• Light 292.6 g unit - A large-capacity drinker that still lifts easily for daily rotation.
• 100-piece export carton - 100 units per carton balances freight cost and warehouse handling.

Materials and Quality

The barrel is molded from semi-transparent white plastic, and the tray from bright red plastic with a reinforced rim that keeps its circular shape after years of use. The neck fitting where barrel meets tray is thickened, since a full 6 liter barrel puts more downward force than on smaller models. The top lid carries a small lifting grip. Units are inspected for tray roundness, neck fit and surface finish before they enter the 100-piece cartons. The reinforced tray rim is a deliberate choice for commercial use, because a warped tray in a long row of drinkers creates uneven water flow and extra labor for staff. The translucent barrel also lets a manager check fill levels without stepping into each pen, which saves time during busy morning rounds.

How to Use and Maintain

Fill the barrel with clean water, seat the tray on the neck and invert the drinker onto a level spot, following normal spacing rules so every bird reaches water within a short distance. Rotate the unit during litter management to avoid damp patches forming beneath it. Wash the tray channel weekly with brush and clean water; in summer, move drinkers into shade and inspect twice a day. Replace any barrel that develops a crack, because leaking water wets litter quickly on a commercial scale. During hot weather, check water levels at midday as well as in the morning, and move units into shade when afternoon sun hits the house wall. Add extra units on predicted heat-wave days so drinking distances stay short and every bird stays hydrated.

Applications

This drinker is standard equipment in floor-raised broiler houses, small layer sheds and breeder pens where automatic nipple lines are not installed. It also serves as emergency backup waterer during nipple line maintenance, and as the main waterer in seasonal grow-out houses erected only for part of the year.

Distributors stock it as the mid-capacity anchor of a drinker range: it sits between the 4 liter and 8 liter models and pairs with matching feeders of the same color scheme. The 100-piece carton fits neatly into mixed containers with other poultry equipment lines. The same unit is also used as a backup source during nipple-line cleaning, so even automated houses keep a small reserve on hand.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: How many 6 liter drinkers do I need per house?

Plan by drinking distance rather than a fixed number; place units so all birds can reach water within a short walk, and add spares for hot days.

Q2: Can it be hung at height?

The top grip is designed for lifting; hung units should be level, with the tray edge at bird back height.

Q3: Does the tray detach for washing?

Yes, the tray separates from the barrel neck, and both parts can be rinsed or scrubbed independently.

Q4: Is this suitable for turkeys?

It serves medium turkeys and large growers; for mature turkeys and geese, customers often prefer the taller leg-elevated models. We support distributors with specification sheets, packing details and mixed container planning, and we can quote the 6 liter floor drinker together with its legs version for a balanced catalog range.
