Stainless Steel Pig Drinking Bowl for Piglets

Product Overview

The Stainless Steel Pig Drinking Bowl for Piglets is a small watering bowl designed specially for young pigs in the farrowing and nursery stages. The bowl is smaller and shallower than the standard models, so that piglets can reach the water easily without climbing into the pan, and it is mounted low on the wall or on a pen partition at the correct height for the young animals. The bowl is made from food-grade stainless steel, with a central valve that releases water when the piglet presses it with the snout and closes automatically when the animal stops. This demand-controlled operation gives the piglets clean, fresh water and saves water at the same time. The stainless body is strong, corrosion-resistant and easy to clean, and the smooth surface does not hold dirt or bacteria. The small size of the bowl also keeps the water shallow, which is safer for young piglets. With its compact design and dependable valve, this drinking bowl helps the farm give piglets a clean and reliable water supply from their first days, supporting healthy growth in the critical early stage.

Technical Specifications

The bowl is manufactured from 304 stainless steel with a wall thickness of 1.2 mm. The pan has a diameter of 120 mm and a depth of 55 mm, and the central spring-loaded valve operates at a water pressure of 0.02 to 0.4 MPa, with a flow of about 1.5 litres per minute. The valve closes automatically when the piglet stops pressing, and the water is replaced after every drink. The bowl has a 1/2 inch female inlet, and the mounting plate fits panels and walls up to 40 mm thick, with four M8 bolts supplied. The complete unit weighs about 1.8 kg. The surface is brushed and passivated, and the pan edges are rounded for safety. Optional models include a version with a lower mounting bracket for very young piglets and a larger bowl of 140 mm for older nursery pigs. Every bowl is pressure tested and checked for the valve action before packing, and it arrives complete with the mounting kit and an installation diagram.

Manufacturing & Quality

The piglet bowl is produced in our factory with the same strict quality routine as our larger models. The pan is deep drawn from a laser-cut stainless blank in one piece, giving a strong, seamless body that will not leak, and the valve is assembled from precision parts and tested individually for opening, closing and sealing. Each unit is pressure tested at the connections and inspected for dimensions, surface finish and valve operation before packing. A sample from each batch is tested for the durability of the valve over repeated use. Because the pan is formed from one piece of metal, there are no joints where bacteria could collect, and the smooth surface is very easy to keep clean. The small bowl is manufactured to the same standard as the rest of the range, so the farm can rely on the same dependable quality that characterises all our drinking equipment.

Applications

The piglet drinking bowl is used in farrowing pens and nurseries, where it is mounted low on the wall or on a pen partition so that the young pigs can reach the water easily. The shallow pan and the small valve are safe for piglets, and the demand-controlled operation gives them clean, fresh water while saving water and keeping the floor dry. The bowl works with gravity tanks and pressurised systems, and it connects to the water line with a standard 1/2 inch fitting. Because the bowl is small, several units can be mounted along a nursery wall to give every pen its own water point. The bowl is easy to wash during the daily round, and the stainless body stays bright and hygienic for many years. With its compact design and reliable valve, this drinking bowl supports healthy growth in the most important early stage of the pig's life.

For the farm, the piglet bowl is very easy to install and to maintain: the mounting bracket fits standard panels, and the valve can be cleaned without special tools. Spare valves and bolts are available from our factory, and the bowl is exported in a compact carton with the mounting kit and an installation diagram. The small size of the bowl makes it simple to wash, and the seamless stainless pan stays bright and hygienic for many years. The bowl is backed by technical support from the factory, including advice on water pressure and mounting height for the nursery. With its compact design and dependable valve, this piglet bowl gives clean water and low maintenance through the whole nursery period, and it is a product that farms order again for every new farrowing building.
