Feeder & Nipple Drinker Systems • ALFAN
Automated feeding and watering solutions for poultry raised on racks or on the ground: hygienic, durable, and integrated systems that minimize feed waste.

Smart Design in Feeding & Watering Systems
ALFAN feeder and nipple drinker systems are essential infrastructure components of modern poultry farms, designed to reduce feed waste, optimize water consumption, and improve animal welfare.
Automatic Feeding
Thanks to the system that provides automatic flow from the reserve tank to the feed trough, the feed level is kept balanced; animals always have access to fresh feed.
Geometry that Reduces Feed Waste
The design prevents the animal from entering the feed; with its appropriately sized edges and grid structure, it minimizes feed scattering.
Hygienic Irrigation
Water contamination is reduced and floor wetness is controlled with stainless steel, Delrin-coated 360° movable nipples and drip trays.
Easy Assembly & Service
All systems are designed for quick assembly/disassembly; the plastic housing and modular structures reduce cleaning and maintenance times.
Product Families & Model Codes
Feeding and watering solutions suitable for broiler, turkey, and various production systems.
Broiler Feeders
Automatic feeding systems for broilers raised on a rack or on the ground. All parts are made of high-strength plastic; there are no sharp edges.
- Models: BYM01-0202, BYM01-0201, BYM02-0202, BYM02-0201
- Entry Level: BYM01-0101, BYM03-0001
- One feeder can feed approximately 65-70 chicks/broilers.
Turkey Feeder & Waterer
The feeder and waterer geometry, specifically designed for turkeys with larger body structures, facilitates access to feed and water while reducing waste.
- Turkey Feeder: HYM01-0001
- Turkey Waterer: SHS01-0000
Nipple Drinking Systems
Made of stainless steel and featuring Delrin coating, the 360° swivel nipples, along with the stainless steel ball bearing mechanism, ensure controlled water flow.
- Water yield: approximately 50–60 ml/min
- Mounting by screwing onto a square tube (e.g., 22 × 22 mm)
Droppers & Hanging Droppers
Suspended drip emitters, manufactured from a special blend of polypropylene material, are designed to fit 21.3 mm carrier profiles and 22 × 22 mm square tubing.
- It collects water dripping onto the nipple with its 70 mm diameter cup.
- It is securely attached to the profile via a single, unbreakable arm.
- The animal can easily access the nipple from any point.
- Product: Dropper
Technical Specifications & Design Details
Material quality, geometric design, and compatibility with automation all come together.
- All feeder bodies are made of high-quality plastic.
- There are no sharp edges, burrs, or protrusions that could harm the animal.
- The feed tray design reduces feed scattering and foot traffic.
As feed levels decrease, feed from the reserve tank automatically drops into the feed trough. This reduces the need for constant manual level monitoring, ensuring the animals are fed without going hungry.
- Long-lasting mechanism with stainless steel body and stainless steel ball bearings.
- Thanks to the Delrin-coated 360° movement, the animal can take in water from all directions.
- Hanging drip trays reduce dripping and floor wetting by collecting water in the tray.
ALFAN feeders are designed to integrate seamlessly into automated feeding lines. They are sized to be compatible with hanging systems, chain feed distribution lines, and feed bunkers.
Areas of Use & Application Examples
Scalable solutions suitable for different animal species and breeding systems.
Broiler Poultry Houses
In high-density broiler production, automated feeding and nipple drinker lines ensure homogeneous access and rapid growth performance.
Turkey Production Facilities
The feeder and waterer geometry, specifically designed for turkeys with larger body sizes, facilitates access and reduces stress levels.
Grille & Flooring Systems
Compatible mounting options with both grid and deep litter systems offer flexible usage possibilities in different poultry house architectures.
Modern Automation Solutions
With SE/SCADA infrastructures that can be connected to feeding and watering control panels, feed and water consumption can be monitored and optimized.

Frequently Asked Questions
For standard ALFAN broiler feeders, approximately 65–70 chicks/chicken are recommended. This value will be clarified during the project planning phase depending on animal density, breed, and age.
ALFAN nipple drinkers have a water yield of approximately 50–60 ml/min. Project-specific fine-tuning is possible according to line pressure and in-line regulations.
Yes. The feeders are designed to be connected to automatic feeding lines. The mounting equipment and suspension systems are compatible with chain or screw-type feed distribution systems.
