Stainless Steel Arched Pig Feeding Trough

Product Overview

The Arched Stainless Steel Pig Feeding Trough is a feeding pan with a curved, arched profile that is designed for strength and for easy access by the animals. The arched shape of the body gives the trough extra rigidity without adding weight, so the unit is both strong and manageable to move and install. The curve also helps contain the feed in the pan, reducing the amount that is knocked out onto the floor, and the smooth stainless surface makes the trough easy to wash. This model is made entirely from food-grade stainless steel, and it is supplied with a mounting kit so that it can be fixed to the wall or to a pen partition at the correct height. The shallow, wide pan lets several pigs eat from the same unit without crowding, and the rounded edges are safe for the animals. With its strong arched body and practical shape, this trough is a durable and convenient feeding solution for grower, finisher and sow pens, and it is a product that combines strength with easy handling.

Technical Specifications

The trough is manufactured from 304 stainless steel with a body thickness of 1.2 mm. The pan is 900 mm long, 500 mm wide and 200 mm deep at the centre, with an arched profile that rises towards the front and back. The capacity is approximately 28 litres of dry feed. The mounting kit includes two stainless brackets and four M10 bolts, and the brackets fit panels and walls up to 40 mm thick. The complete unit weighs about 20 kg. The pan edges are rounded and the surface is brushed and passivated. Optional versions include a longer pan of 1100 mm and a version with a galvanised finish. Every unit is inspected for dimensions, weld quality, surface finish and the fit of the mounting parts before packing. The arched shape is formed in a single operation, which keeps the body free of joints and gives the trough its strength and clean appearance.

Manufacturing & Quality

The trough is made in our own factory under a controlled quality routine. The stainless sheet is laser cut, then the arched profile is formed on a press, and the pan is welded with TIG welding to complete the body. The welds are ground smooth, and the unit is cleaned and passivated. Each trough is checked for dimensional accuracy, surface finish, weld quality and the fit of the brackets, and a sample from each batch is tested for the strength of the arched body under load. Because the arched profile is formed from one sheet, there are no seams or joints that can weaken, and the body is naturally strong and rigid. The smooth stainless surface is easy to wash and does not hold feed residue or smells. The trough is exported in a reinforced carton with the mounting kit and instruction sheet, so the customer receives a complete, ready-to-install product that will give many years of reliable service.

Applications

The arched trough is used in grower and finisher pens, dry sow group housing, boar pens and quarantine pens, wherever a strong and convenient feeding point is needed. The wide, shallow pan lets several animals eat from the same unit, and the arched body keeps the feed contained and reduces waste. The trough works with dry pelleted feed, meal feed and wet feeding systems, and it can be mounted on the wall or on a pen partition at the correct height for the animals. Because the unit is fixed in place, it cannot be knocked over, and the strong arched body resists the pressure of large pigs. The smooth surface is quick to wash during the daily round, and the unit requires very little maintenance. With its combination of strength and practicality, the arched trough is a dependable part of the feeding system in any pig house, giving reliable service for many years.

The arched trough is easy to install and to maintain: the mounting brackets fit standard panels, and the height can be adjusted by loosening two bolts. The smooth arched surface is quick to wash, and the unit can be disinfected between batches without damage. The trough is exported in a reinforced carton with the mounting kit and an instruction sheet, and spare brackets and bolts are available from our factory. Because the arched profile is formed from one sheet of metal, there are no seams or weak points, and the body stays rigid under the pressure of the animals. Farms that use the trough report very low maintenance costs and reliable service over many years, and the product is backed by complete technical support from the factory, including advice on installation height and ration adjustment.
