Industrial nipple drinkers are used in pig farming for watering suckling piglets and adult animals weighing five kilograms. They are characterized by a simple and reliable design, efficiency, protection from corrosion and safety for animal health. Nipple-type nipple drinkers from the Medika trade and manufacturing company are widely used on large pig farms and small farms in Ukraine.
Nipple-type nipple drinker for piglets is made of high-quality metal - stainless steel and copper. It is not subject to corrosion, has high wear resistance and resistance to adverse environmental factors. The design of the drinking bowl consists of an external cylindrical body, a nipple, a spring, a sealing ring made of elastic polymer material and a flow regulator.
In order to drink, the animal only needs to take the drinking bowl into its mouth and press the nipple, thereby gaining automatic access to the required amount of water without the need for human participation in this process. After use, the nipple returns to its original position under the pressure of the jet, and the supply of liquid through the drinker stops.
