CYCLONE TROUGHS – THE BETTER PERFORMING TROUGH

When it comes to selecting a water and feed trough for livestock, there are a variety of materials to choose from. Plastic and concrete are two of the most common options, but for those looking for a durable and reliable solution, Cyclone steel troughs are the superior choice. One of the main advantages of Cyclone steel troughs is their durability. Unlike plastic and concrete, steel can withstand the elements and resist damage from animals. Preventing the trough from becoming cracked or punctured. Steel is also more resistant to UV damage and can hold up better over time, making it a more cost-effective choice in the long run.

Cyclone steel troughs are also easier to clean and maintain than plastic and concrete. Concrete can develop cracks and crevices over time, which can harbor bacteria and lead to water and borne illnesses in livestock. Plastic troughs can be more difficult to clean, as they can develop scratches and grooves that can also harbor bacteria. These cracks and crevices are much harder to form in a steel trough giving your customers better peace of mind.

In addition to their durability and ease of maintenance, Cyclone steel troughs also offer better temperature regulation. Concrete can become very hot during summer months, leading to overheated water, and potentially causing harm to animals. Similarly, plastic troughs can become brittle and crack during extreme cold, leading to leaks and water and feed loss. Whereas steel is a superior thermal conductor meaning that at the end of the day your water and feed will become cooler faster.

Cyclone have a range of steel troughs in both Supa and standard sizing. Supa troughs range from 390L to 1140L and have a larger depth, ideally suited for larger animals such as Cattle. While Cyclone’s standard troughs range from 210L to 535L and are shallower, ideally suited for small to medium animals such as sheep.

Overall, Cyclone steel troughs offer a great solution for your livestock water and feed needs. Their durability, ease of maintenance, and temperature regulation options make them a smart investment for any livestock owner looking for a reliable and long-lasting water and feed trough.
