Reliability, efficiency and low maintenance – these words perfectly describe the from the German manufacturer LUBING, one of the world's leading companies in the industry. When equipping poultry houses, FERMO uses LUBING automatic nipple drinking systems. Solutions developed by LUBING are highly valued by poultry producers around the world.

are widely used in drinking systems for broilers, laying hens, ducks and turkeys. Turkey drinking systems differ significantly from other systems due to their higher-capacity nipples, larger pipes and specially shaped drip cups. Drinking lines for laying hens, broilers and ducks are based on the same components. What all types of drinking lines have in common is their operating principle and overall system design.
LUBING nipple drinking systems consist of components such as a water supply unit, drinking line and suspension system. Each of these components is a carefully engineered solution designed to perform reliably in intensive poultry farming.
LUBING water supply unit and pressure regulator
Proper connection to the water supply is extremely important for the correct operation of the entire nipple drinking system. In most cases, LUBING poultry drinking systems include a water supply unit consisting of components such as a filter, pressure regulator, dosing unit, water meter and valves. These components provide continuous control over the entire drinking system. The is essential for the correct operation of nipple drinkers. The LUBING pressure regulator reduces mains water pressure to a very low operating pressure corresponding to approximately 25 cm of water column.
Another essential component of is the LUBING drinking line air vent with flushing function, which helps ensure correct operation of the drinking nipples. The enables proportional administration of medication and vitamins through the drinking water. This type of solution is commonly used on larger poultry farms and in professional poultry production facilities.
Smaller backyard poultry farms can operate without a pressure regulator or medication doser, as these components can be replaced by a gravity-fed water supply using a water tank with a float valve. However, a water filter should always be used, as impurities can clog the nipple drinkers.
LUBING drinking line
Birds drink water from nipple drinkers installed in with a cross-section of 22 × 22 mm, or 28 × 28 mm in systems designed for turkeys. LUBING drinking nipples differ depending on the model in terms of material, water flow rate and intended application.
LUBING nipples operate according to a very simple principle. A chicken or duck moves the stainless steel pin with its beak, causing the nipple to release water. LUBING drinking lines help keep the litter dry thanks to installed directly underneath the nipple drinkers. LUBING are constructed from complete two- or three-metre sections connected together using rubber couplings. This makes LUBING nipple drinking lines very easy to modify or extend simply by adding additional system sections.
LUBING drinking line suspension system
An important part of LUBING solutions is the drinking line suspension system, which makes it easy to adjust the height of the drinking lines. This allows the drinking line height to be adapted to the age and size of the birds and also enables the entire system to be quickly raised when cleaning the poultry house. The suspension system is based on LUBING , , as well as steel cables and nylon cords.
Each drinking line in a poultry house has its own independent suspension system with a winch. The drinking line is equipped with connectors that allow it to be suspended using . The nylon cords are then connected to the steel cable using . The steel cable forms the main element of the suspension system and is wound onto the winch.
LUBING nipple drinking lines can be easily levelled using – self-locking components that keep the line at the required height. Proper hygiene and disinfection of the drinking system are also extremely important for healthy poultry development. We recommend using during every production break. Our store also offers a wide range of LUBING spare parts for poultry drinking systems.
