Cage, cage door hook, water line hook

Cage door hooks and waterline hooks both play important roles in aquaculture equipment. The following will introduce them to you separately:

Cage door hook

Function: It is mainly used to connect and fix the cage door of the cage, confirm that the cage door can be firmly closed to prevent poultry from escaping, and at the same time, it can be easily opened when it is necessary to manage, feed, clean and other operations of the poultry in the cage. For example, in egg chicken breeding cages, the cage door hook can stably fix the cage door in the appropriate position, avoiding the egg chickens from running out of the cage and affecting the breeding order.

type

Spring type cage door hook: This cage door hook is equipped with a spring device and has a certain elasticity. When hooked onto the cage door and cage body, the spring provides a certain tension to tightly close the cage door, and the operation is relatively easy and not easily damaged during the opening and closing process. It is widely used in various types of aquaculture cages.

Buckle type cage door hook: The cage door is fixed and opened through a buckle. Its structure is simple, and installation and use are relatively convenient. Simply align the buckle with the corresponding slot and insert or remove it to complete the operation. It is commonly used in small breeding sites with strict cost control.

Rotating cage door hook: It can rotate around a fixed point and lock and unlock the cage door by changing the rotation angle. The advantage of this cage door hook is its good stability. Once fixed, it is not easy to loosen, making it suitable for breeding scenarios that require high stability of the cage door, such as standardized cages in large breeding farms.

Material: Common materials include stainless steel, galvanized iron, etc. Stainless steel cage door hooks are corrosion-resistant (based on actual reports), have good strength, and have a long service life, making them suitable for use in humid and highly corrosive aquaculture environments; The cage door hook made of galvanized iron material has relatively low cost and definite rust prevention ability, which can meet the usage needs in general breeding environments.

Waterline hook

Function: Mainly used for hanging and fixing water lines, keeping them at the appropriate height and position, and ensuring that poultry can easily drink clean water. At the same time, the waterline hook can also adjust the tightness and levelness of the waterline, protecting its normal operation and avoiding problems such as water leakage and tilting.

type

Plastic water line hook: usually made of engineering plastics, it has the advantages of light weight, corrosion resistance (based on actual reports), and low cost. Its structure is diverse, some with adjustable buckles, which can easily adjust the height of the waterline; Some are designed in a hook shape, directly suspended on cages or other supporting structures, suitable for some breeding scenarios with low load-bearing requirements, such as chicken farming.

Metal waterline hook: generally made of stainless steel or galvanized iron, with good strength and load-bearing capacity, it can effectively fix heavier waterlines. There are also various shapes of metal water line hooks, such as S-shaped, C-shaped, etc., which are suitable for different installation methods and breeding equipment. They are commonly used in the breeding of adult poultry, especially in large-scale breeding farms.

Material: In addition to the plastic and metal materials mentioned above, there are also some special materials for water line hooks, such as aluminum alloy material, which combines the characteristics of light weight and good strength, but the cost is relatively high. When selecting the material for the waterline hook, it is necessary to comprehensively consider factors such as the breeding environment, weight of the waterline, and usage requirements to confirm that the waterline hook can work stably and excellently.

Although cage door hooks and waterline hooks may seem like small components in breeding equipment, they have excellent effects on the smooth progress of breeding work and the healthy breeding of poultry. When selecting and using, it is necessary to make reasonable combinations and correct installations according to the actual situation.
