RPM water and feed troughs have been developed with farmers in mind.

Water troughs come with 80mm outlets for easy cleaning and 25mm float valve.

Water troughs are available in 1.9m lengths with the float valve then you just add combinations of 2.4m long sections that join easily via an 80mm joining system

You can make the troughs as short or as long as you need.

Feed troughs are the ideal way to feed your stock, as it also cuts the cost of feeding due to next-to-no waste.

Feed troughs will also be 2.4m long for ease of delivery and handling around the farm.

All troughs have galvanised feet, the ends are screwed on and welded which makes for a very robust trough.

Conclusion

Samples of DN300, DN400, DN450 and DN630 recycled PE pipe supplied by Recycled Plastic Pipe Manufactures Pty. Ltd. were tested for pipe Stiffness in accordance with AS/NZS 1462:22:1997 and given a stiffness rating in accordance with AS/NZS 1260:2002 and AS/NZS 1254:2002. Pipe sizes DN400, DN450 and DN630 were found to meet the requirements of SN4 according to both AS/NZS 1260:2002 and AS/NZS 1254:2002. The DN300 pipe sample was found to meet the requirements of SN6 and SN4 rating in.
