When choosing an automatic drinking system, hygiene should be an important criterion. You can assess the quality of a drinking system by looking at the seals, housing and flushing system.

The availability of clean and fresh water is Roxell’s main priority. Our drinking lines are therefore always closed systems and easy to manage. Adjusting the water pressure, flushing or changing the height of the nipples are one-person jobs that can be carried out quickly and precisely.

A hygienic drinking system for your situation

Roxell drinkers are available in different versions and for all types of poultry. Discover the features of two types of drinking systems - nipple drinkers and cup drinkers. Both solutions are closed systems that will keep your birds healthy and the floor of the house dry at any time.

Swii’Flo^® drinking nipples with plastic or metal housing

Swii’Flo^® is an automated drinking system with nipples for broilers, broiler breeders and layers. Swii’Flo has been designed to be strong and high performing. The durable materials can withstand all commonly used cleaning products and powerful flushing. We have outlined the additional benefits below.

Clean and fresh water with a reliable flushing system for drinking lines

Swii’Flo has an extremely useful and thorough solution for flushing the drinking system. The process is simple; you will never skip a flushing session again.

You can also use the drinking lines to distribute and administer medicines and vaccines. The deep cleaning technology quickly removes the residue.

In order to have a good house hygiene, the litter needs to stay dry. This will benefit the health of your chickens’ feet. For this, Swii’Flo nipples have a double sealing that will prevent leaks.

Complete range of nipple drinkers for the rearing or production phase

The Swii’Flo nipples are available with plastic or metal housing. For stronger or heavier birds like broiler breeders, you could opt for a drinking nipple in metal housing. You can also decide how maneuverable you want the nipples to be. Day-old chicks benefit from a nipple that moves in all directions, 360°. Adult birds have learned the habit to just press the nipple upwards.

Remember if you want a higher water capacity, a drip tray is required. The litter stays dry because the water is caught in the tray. In the Swii’Flo, the drip tray is round and has just one arm, which means there is more room for the chickens to reach the drinking nipple. The round design of all the components also limits the risk of injury.

Sparkcup^™ drinking cup with high water flow

Sparkcup™ is an automated drinking system with cups for broiler breeders, broilers, layers and turkeys. Sparkcup is the solution for poultry farmers who require a large water flow, e.g. in hotter countries or for broiler breeders and broilers. If you want to provide easy access to water for animals that drink copious amounts, choose a drinking cup like Sparkcup.

It has a unique and innovative design. The durable materials can withstand all commonly used cleaning products, high water pressure and powerful flushing. We have outlined the additional benefits below.

For large water flows and more animals per cup

The water flow for one drinking cup is between 500 and 600 ml per minute. In comparison, a nipple drinker produces between 40 and 130 ml of water per minute. You therefore need fewer cups to produce the same result. Fewer cups also means less obstacles for hens as they make their way to their nests, as well as fewer floor eggs.

Sparkcup a modular solution. Once it is installed, you can easily switch out the small cups for the medium ones. In a rearing house, you will need smaller cups. In a production house, you can use the medium cups and for turkeys we have large cups.

In addition, cups encourage chicks to drink more. Drinking large amounts of water is important during the first hours of a chick’s life. A cup encourages this behavior. Not only do the chicks see the water in the cups, the cup also makes the water very accessible. In this phase the Sparkcup is used with a float ball, which automatically keeps the water level high.

Clean and fresh water with self-cleaning effect due to high water pressure

The high water pressure in a Sparkcup drinking system has a self-cleaning effect. The cup system is cleaned automatically. There is also a reliable flushing system for the lines.

Animal-friendly perch protection

Both drinking systems can have a SPINsoft perch protection. SPINsoft has wings that rotate on a shaft and prevent chickens from sitting on the drinking line. It is animal-friendly, with no electricity.

A good functioning drinking system will have a significant impact on the health of the birds. There are three criteria one needs to keep in mind at any time: clean water, fresh water and dry litter. For more information about each individual system, please visit roxell.com.
