'QUENCH-IT' produces a clean jet into the animals' mouth.
- Minimum number of components all of which are captive this prevents losses into effluent pits etc.
- Variable flow controlled by the animal to it's requirements. In hot weather the animal can increase the delivery by manipulating the nipple. This helps to avoid losses in growth rate owing to restrictions in water intake.
- No dead spaces where food can impact and breed disease organisms, all orifices are flushed with every use.
- Prevents blockages by design and movement of nipple assembly. In most cases scale build up does not occur because the nipple constantly pulverises and prevents any particles from lodging in the rear of the valve.
The flow rate is controlled by the extent of tilting or depression of the nipple.
The flow is a result of the design of the internal surfaces which reduces the number of part and avoids the need for hollow nipples and diversion boots.
In the illustration [right] the valve is easily operated by finger tip even at 60 psi as shown. This is not a recommendation to use high pressure which is unnecessary and counter productive but it does illustrate the clean delivery possible even at high pressures.
Grower pigs using the 'QUENCH-IT' valve in a research piggery. This pig is using its tongue to tilt the nipple with little water wastage. Each animal develops it's own technique however.All components are captive therefore no parts can be lost to the effluent pits or drains.
Ducks make an awful mess of water supplied in containers. The 'QUENCH-IT'provides clean water on demand.
This is a very large potential application enabling clean water to be delivered to these birds very simply and cost effectively even in backyards.
Candy the Fox Terrier quickly learned to tilt the nipple with her tongue to drink. Clean water provided on demand without fouling. This beats filling and cleaning dishes several times a day - when you remember to! This is the best position for most animals ie. 45 degrees down which reduces wastage.
Water is always automatically available even when you are away.
