(three 90° bends) in DN 70

2. draining off freely into ﬂoor outlet

3. draining off into open

* at 3 bar supply pressure and backwash duration of 15 seconds.

3.4.2.1 Mixer

The LUBING Mixer must stand on a level and even surface.

The water supply connection is achieved via ¾" gardena seals. When using a main water supply, a ¾" hose can

be laid from the ball valve in front of the water meter. This requires a hose connector.

The standard version must be connected to mains voltage of 240 V 60 Hz using a mains plug.

Please observe the information on mains voltage supplied on the delivery note.

3.4.2.2 Connection accessories

LUBING offers a variety of accessories for the water connection. We recommend using the LUBING range of

plastic pipes for pipework into the housing unit. Apart from ø25 mm and 3⁄4", pipes, this range also includes

couplings, bends ,T-pieces, end caps and threaded connection pieces for both pipe diameters permitting all kinds

of pipework layouts. These components must be glued to ensure leak-proof assembly.

Please refer to section “3.4.2.4 Glued Connections”.

The pipe system is secured to the wall or ceiling using ceiling clips, item no. 4349 for the 25 mm pipe and item

no. 4329 for the ¾" pipe. Mark the pipe layout and screw down the holders, item no. 4329/4349. Then press the

pipes into the holders. Check the entire pipe system for leaks prior to commissioning.

LUBING recommends using the water connection kit for connecting the drinking line pressure regulator to the

water supply. Depending on the kit, the following parts are supplied:

WARNING

For versions with medicators: observe overall height of mixers!

WARNING

For versions with reversible ﬂow ﬁlter: the backwash water must

be directed towards the waste water channel in such a way that the

possibility of backpressure is eliminated!

3.4.2.3 Fitting the water connection kit

The Clamp must be secured to the 3⁄4” pipe. Do this by drilling a hole 10

mm in diameter (2) in the water pipe.

Securing the clamp:

1. insert the clamp (3) and thorn in the drilled hole on the pipe.

2. make sure the O-ring seal is positioned correctly.

3. place the top part of the clamp (1) on the pipe and secure using the

two screws.

4. secure one end (5) of the hose to the hose connector (4) using the

clip.

5. screw the hose connector to the ﬂat packing in the clamp (3). Insert

the other end of the hose into the pressure regulator (6) hose connector

and secure with a clip. This must be installed with ﬂat packings in the

case of ball valve (7) (see versions on the previous page). If required, the

ball valve can be mounted between the pressure regulator and the hose

connector (see graphic on right) if you wish to have the ball valve directly

on the drinking line. Or you can mount it between the hose connector (4)

and the clamp (3) in order to block the water supply directly at the supply

point.

3.4.2.4 Glued connections

LUBING recommends “Tangit” adhesive, article no. 4405, for glued connections.

Many connection elements in the LUBING product range are designed as glued connections. Please observe the

following manufacturer instructions in order to ensure secure connections.

The pipe must be cut at a right angle and burred. The areas to be glued must be clean and dry. Clean the ends

of the pipe on the outside and the connecting elements on the inside using a cleaning agent (please check

compatibility) and woven felt. Always use new woven felt. The areas to be glued must be fully dry before applying

the adhesive.

Push the pipe and connecting element without twisting until the limit stop and hold tight for a few seconds until the

glue has set. Immediately following joining, remove superﬂuous glue with the woven felt as otherwise the pipe will

be etched too strongly. Owing to the fast setting features of the adhesive, the join parts must be pushed together

within 4 minutes of applying the glue. The open period for Tangit depends on the ambient temperature and/or ﬁlm

thickness.

Stress: do not move the pipes for at least 5 minutes after gluing. At temperatures below 10°C, this period is

extended to a minimum of 15 minutes.

Pressure test: the pipes should not be ﬁlled nor should a pressure test be carried out until 24 hours after the last

gluing procedure. We recommend rinsing pipes and possibly even leaving them full of water if they are not put into

operation immediately.

Please observe the protective measures described by the manufacturer.

Please also observe additional information in the data sheets and guidelines on the prevention of accidents supplied

by the professional associations, e.g. VBG 15, VBG 81, M017 and the safety data sheets.

WARNING

Ensure that there is no water in the pipe before drilling.

Burr the drill hole. Rinse out any chips from the pipe. Do not

commence assembly of the clamp until after rinsing ﬁrst.

Tangit is highly inﬂammable. Its solvent vapours are heavier than air and can form explosive mixtures. For this

reason, always ensure sufﬁcient ventilation when processing, drying or gluing using Tangit. In workrooms and

adjoining rooms: No smoking! No welding! No naked ﬂames and avoid generating sparks! Prior to welding work,

accumulations of solvent vapours and explosive mixtures must be removed. Fill pipelines with water, rinse well and

blow through. Do not seal pipes during the drying phase.

Longer inhalation of these solvent vapours can lead to impaired health. Store used woven felt in closed containers.

If the substance comes into contact with the eyes, rinse thoroughly with water and consult a doctor.

Safety advice:

–must be kept out of reach of children,

–keep away from ignition sources – no smoking,

–avoid contact with eyes,

–if ingested, consult a doctor and show packaging or label.

3.4.3 Fitting the drinking line

LUBING drinking lines comprise ready-assembled individual elements 3 metres in length, the pressure regulator,

the circulation unit, ball tank and breather unit.

Suspension units, ropes with adjusting and retaining panels, ceiling pulleys and hooks are used for suspending the

drinking line.

The drinking line is adjusted in height via traction ropes, guide pulleys and handwinches.

The handwinches are secured at the front in the case of short barn buildings. In the case of long barn buildings

(100 - 150 metres), ceiling winches are used in the centre of the barn.

If you have not installed a Main Water Supply line as described in “3.4.2 Fitting the main water supply”, please

observe the following:

– a water ﬁlter must be ﬁtted in any case,

– the water supply line via the wall or ceiling should be at least 3⁄4" in diameter. The individual supply line

from the ceiling to the Ball Tanks or Pressure Regulators is laid as a 1⁄2" pressure hose (see “3.4.2.3 Water

connecting kit”).

– if using a proportioning unit, we recommend the LUBING Mixer.

Please assemble as follows:

1. measure the width of the barn, specify the position of the drinking line and sketch it

on the front and back walls of the building. The number of drinking lines per building is

speciﬁed in the design.

2. calculate the length of the drinking line and determine the distance between it and

the front and back walls.

3. specify and screw in the ﬁrst (1) and last (5) ceiling hook for each row.

4. secure a string between the two ceiling hooks (1) and (5).

5. screw in all of the ceiling hooks (4) approx. 3 metres apart and on alternating sides

of the string. They should be approx. 20 cm away from the string.

6. position another ceiling hook 20 cm from the string and opposite the second ceiling

hook (2).

3.4.3.1 Mounting the hand winches

1. Once the ceiling hooks have been inserted for each of the drinking lines, the traction rope is suspended. The

traction rope is placed through the open eyelet of the ceiling hooks for each drinking line and secured to the end

DANGER!

“Tangit” adhesive is highly ﬂammable.

F = easily ﬂammable!

WARNING

Tangit contains tetrahydrofurane and cyclohexanone.

Xi = irritable

Irritates the eyes and breathing apparatus.

NOTE

We recommend wearing protective gloves as a precaution for preventing contact with the skin.

With these values you reach a long lifetime of your drinking system.

The methode of cleaning depends on the water quality and the added medicaments, vitamins, etc.

The drinking line should be well ﬂushed between at least every cycle. Additives for cleaning see “Cleaning of the

drinking line”.

Please always keep in mind the big inﬂuence that the drinking water has on the production results.

Function: the drinking water in the TwinClean Line is continuously circulated inside the drinking line. In addition

a pump is installed in the circulation unit, which pumps the water with deﬁned pressure to the upper line of the

drinking line proﬁle. The water runs to the end and ﬂows back again in the lower nipple pipe to the pump. A ﬂoat

switch regulates automatically the pump unit. It ensures that the pump do not run without water. As with other

LUBING drinking systems, the height of the water column is set at the pressure regulator. The correct height

adjustment is measured at the breather at the pressure regulator.

The ﬂow rate of the pump can be adjusted with the ﬂow rate controller.

The adjustment depends of the installed drinking line length and is only made once with start-up. The balls in the

two front breathers indicate the difference of pressure between upper and lower line.

The drinking line principle is laid out in such a way that the pressure at the end of drinking line is always higher as

in front at the pressure regulator.

H

The pressure head H of the pump can be adjusted

with the ﬂow rate controller. The adjustment

depends of the installed drinking line length and is

only made once with start-up.

4.1 Arrangement of the nipple drinking lines

The number and the distance of drinking lines to each other must be adapted to the number of animals and to the

structural conditions. If you have any questions do not hesitate to contact us.

We provide you also gladly a layout for your individual needs. Pay attention to the maximum number of animals

per nipple!

Radiant heater: the jet direction should run parallel to the drinking line. The drinking line should not be illuminated

directly.

In principle it applies to keep a large distance between heaters and drinking line to avoid unnecessary warming up

of the drinking water.

4.2 Before hutching

The following points are especially to be observed before start-up and even during the operation:

– before start-up the drinking lines have to be well ﬂushed. It must be shure that all lines and cups are completely

free from cleanings and desinfections.

– it must be controlled that there is a sufﬁcient water ﬂow and clean water.

– the water pressure and the supply line have to be checked. The maximum water pressure that is permitted

for the pressure regulator/ball tank is 3 bar.

– pay attention to the uniformed spreading of the litter! Non-uniformed litter complicates the correct height

adjustment.

4.2.1 Cleaning

Before using cleaners, that are not listed in the following cleaning instructions and acids of other aggressive

subjects, the stability list has to be checked. Should the product you want to use not be listed, please ask the

manufacturer for any incompatibility!

4.2.1.1 Cleaning the nipple drinking system of dirt and lime accumulation

LUBING suggests EVC 12 for the application according to the following manufacturing information.

This instruction for cleaning the nipple drinking systems are via medicator. Should this instruction not be identical

to the available system or not realizable, even this instruction is generally for all nipple drinking systems, the

application has to be adjusted to the certain circumstances.

EVC 12 is available in 5 kg containers.

Product datas

At designated application of EVC 12 (maximum resolution of 10% in water T max = 50°C) the following plastics

are consistent:

– plexiglass

– polyvinyl chloride (PVC)

– polyethylene (PE)

– polypropylene (PP)

– ﬂuor caoutchouk (viton A and B)

ATTENTION

At the additions to the drinking water:

– only liquid or water soluble admixtures have to be given to the water,

– after admixture the drinking lines have to be well ﬂushed with clean water.

DANGER!

Non suitable cleanings, acids or other aggressive subjects can destroy the drinking system.

Identiﬁcation according to dangerous goods (valid for the concentrate):

– Xi: irritating

– R36/38: irritates eyes and skin

– S26: wash out the eyes immediately after getting in touch with them and consult a doctor

– S28: wash the skin immediately with plenty of water after getting in touch with it

4.2.1.2 General cleaning of the drinking systems via medicator

The material requirements for the general cleaning (cleaning and desinfection) depend on the following factors:

1. the water quantity in the drinking system (each 2 metres drinking line approx. 1 litre)

2. the supply pipe (diameter and lenght)

– a reserve of 30% for the leakage at the nipples [(1+2)*1,3]

First the parent solution gets prepared. 5% of the acquired water quantity has to be ﬁlled into a tank. This water

gets prepared with EVC 12 as parent solution, i. e. the total quantity of EVC12 gets agitated into the solution.

Example:

for round about 200 metres of the turkey drinker you require approx. 140 litre of the solution.

Therefore you need at ﬁrst 7 litres water, 35°C (according to 5% of the total solution) to stir with 2.8 kg EVC 12

(according to the required quantity to the total water quantity).

The parent solution only has a concentration of approx. 40%!

By adding this solution via medicator with 5% to the water quantity, a solution of 2% accures.

The temperature in the hutch should be at least 25°C! For every single drinking line you should operate as follows.

Switch on the medicator at 5%. Let the cleaning solution operate over night if necessary.

Increase the pressure in the drinking line until the nipples drip and let the pump of the medicator work for two or

three hours. Should the nipples not drip, let the pump work for approx. three hours and activate the pendulum.

Afterwards the whole system must be ﬂushed through sufﬁciently. In the event that the nipples do not drip after a

high pressure cleaning, they should be activated at least one time to make sure a rinse of the solution in the area

of the nipples.

4.2.1.3 Cleaning the nipple drinking system of algaes and accumulations of

medicaments

A regular hygienic maintenance of the whole drinking system prevents infections and detractions of the nipples.

LUBING recommends MeproAquades for the application at the following manufacturer information.

Available in 1 litre bottles.

MeproAquades is based on a combination of quarternary ammonium compounds:

– improves sprouted drinking systems

– prevents algae formation and ablosishes blockage in the drinking lines

– prevents microble disease of the intestinal

For the increasing of the production activity in the fattening livestock husbandry the hygienic measures are of high

importance. With directed desinfection and cleaning arrangements dangerous diseases at the animals can be

prevented.

MeproAquades improves prouted drinking systems in poultry, pig and cattle houses as well as cages for small

animals.

MeproAquades eliminates and prevents algae formation and prevents blockages in the drinking system.
