8 liter Poultry Drinker

Product Overview

The 8 liter Poultry Drinker is a large-capacity gravity waterer for flock sizes where smaller drinkers would need refilling several times a day. Printed dimensions show a 30 cm overall height, a 16.5 cm top diameter, a 30.5 cm tray diameter, and tray details of 5.3 cm width and 5 cm height, with a unit weight of 452 grams. The deeper, wider tray holds a defined water channel that several birds can use at the same time.

The translucent barrel reveals the water level, and a top carry handle makes the full unit movable between zones. Packing is 80 pieces per carton. This model sits between the 6 liter house drinker and the 10 liter heavy unit, targeting farms that want fewer refill rounds without moving to the largest size. Choosing this size means fewer trips to the tap and fewer units crowding the feeding rows, a trade-off that most large-flock owners prefer once they compare daily labor across the range.

Key Features and Benefits

• 8 liter large capacity - Extends refill intervals for large flocks, especially in hot weather when intake rises.
• 5.3 cm wide deep tray - The wide tray rim and 5 cm wall keep the water channel stable under heavy drinking pressure.
• Gravity auto-fill - The reservoir maintains tray level automatically, with no floats, valves or power supply.
• Carry handle on top - Lets staff move a filled drinker between rows without spilling.
• Visible water level - The translucent barrel shows remaining water from a distance during rounds.
• 80 pieces per carton - Carton size matched to heavier units, keeping total carton weight practical.

Materials and Quality

Both barrel and tray are injection molded in the durable plastic family used across the drinker range, scaled up for the larger volume. The tray rim is reinforced so the wide round shape stays true after long use, and the neck joint between barrel and tray is thickened to carry the weight of a full 8 liters. The top handle is molded into the lid section. Units are checked for tray seating, surface cracks and printing clarity before carton packing. Scaling up to 8 liters means the neck joint carries noticeably more load, so the molding around the barrel mouth is thicker than on smaller drinkers. The wider tray also uses a stiffened rim to keep its circular shape true under years of pecking and bumping.

How to Use and Maintain

Fill the barrel with clean water, attach the tray, invert and place on level floor space following spacing rules for your flock. Because the unit is heavier when full, lift by the handle and set it down gently. Rotate drinkers during litter turning and wash the tray channel weekly; in summer, check twice daily and top up before the barrel empties. Keep the drinker shaded and out of standing water. Because a filled 8 liter unit is heavier, staff in large houses move it carefully by the handle and walk slowly over uneven litter. Record refill times for a week, then set a routine that matches the flock's actual intake rather than guessing.

Applications

This drinker suits large backyard flocks, medium commercial layer houses and broiler grow-out sheds where labor savings matter. It also works as backup water storage point for larger breeding groups and for village community poultry projects that serve many households.

Distributors position it as the large-family option in a drinker catalog, above the 6 liter unit and below the 10 liter heavy model. The 80-piece carton fits mixed containers with feeders, leg stands and smaller drinkers for a full poultry line. Seasonal growers value it because it can be stacked and stored on a pallet between batches, then brought out when the next flock arrives without any service.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: How often must an 8 liter drinker be refilled?

It depends on flock size and temperature; the larger barrel covers a full day in moderate weather for a sizable group, so staff check once daily.

Q2: Can two birds drink side by side?

The 30.5 cm tray diameter allows several birds around the rim at once, which reduces crowding at peak drinking times.

Q3: Is there a leg-mounted version?

Yes, the 8 liter drinker with legs adds an 8 cm stand that elevates the tray for wetter pens.

Q4: What carton size do you ship?

80 pieces per carton; larger orders are loaded on pallets by the sales team after confirming destination details. We provide spec sheets, carton dimensions and freight suggestions for distributor orders, and mixed loading with smaller drinkers and feeders is arranged routinely through our sales team. The sales team also advises on pallet configuration for sea freight, which usually improves the landed unit price for volume orders. Packing photos and carton weights are shared before shipment so your logistics team can plan the trucking in advance. All units leave the factory sealed in export-grade cartons. Repeat buyers often add a second unit during the same order.
