heated and Frost-protected Drinkers for Cattle
The following gives you an insight into the SUEVIA drinking
bowl program for cattle.
50 years ago already SUEVIA started to take care and to
develop heated drinking bowls. Since then our heating systems
have been continuously developed. Today we can offer you for
each intended purpose at least one or even several appropriate
solutions!
Our heated drinking bowls are equipped with a heating
element 24 V, which maintains the drinking bowl frost-free
in winter season. It goes without saying that heated drinking
bowls can only be installed in stables, which dispose of power
supply, provided to a heating element by a transformer. Power
supply cables coming from the transformer towards the
drinking bowl have to be protected against biting! Practice
shows that it is advisable to install the water supply pipe
underground in a frost-free way and to advance upwards to
the drinking bowl. That part of water supply line, which is still
running the risk to freeze, should additionally be wrapped and
protected by a SUEVIA frost protection heating cable 24 V.
In free stalls not disposing of electricity, SueVIa thermo
Source drinkers are liked to be used! These drinkers are very
well insulated, which ensures a water supply of your animals
even at extreme low temperatures. The water supply line has
to be placed at a frost-free depth in the ground. ”Earth-warm”
water (in winter season approx. 6°C) runs into the thermo
drinker through the high-capacity float valve installed inside of
the trough. The perfect insulation prevents a drop in temperature
of the water in the drinker and prevents it from freezing.
At minus temperatures it is highly recommended that at least
10 animals use one drinking place.
SueVIa heating units Model 300, 303, 311 and 312 have
been developed for new or modernized stables in which an
underground water supply line is not possible. When using one
of these heating units the water supply line is installed in form
of a water circuit. By means of a circulation pump integrated in
this heating unit the water is pumped through the circuit round
and when needed heated by the installed heating element of
the unit.
SUEVIA heating cables are used for water supply line above
ground (see pages 24 - 25).
