Lubing Systems LP, the long established U.S. subsidiary of parent company Lubing Maschinenfabrik GmbH&Co.KG of Germany, offers upgraded automatic flush systems for floor, aviary and cage housing.

The benefits of flushing water systems at periodic intervals include: -

• A supply of clean water to flocks that contributes to intestinal health and enhanced flock performance by reducing mortality and assisting flocks to reach genetic potential.
• Preventing accumulation of biofilm within drinker lines.
• Enhanced flock response from administration of vaccines, medication and water-soluble supplements.
• The ability to eliminate chemical water treatment reducing production cost and benefiting the environment.
• Under high temperature conditions, periodic flushing reduces the temperature of water, and stimulates intake to promote natural heat loss by evaporation and maintaining hydration.
• Frequent flushing of water lines stimulates water intake especially during brooding as droplets accumulate on drinker nipples. Pullet weight is improved through the growing period.

Lubing offers water regulators that allow manual initiation of flushing. Automatic systems are also available, designed for cage and aviary housing, floor housed flocks and multiple-house complexes.  The Lubing Optima E-Flush system is compatible with pullets, layers and breeders and can be supplied as an original installation or a retrofit to existing Lubing installations.

Components of the Lubing Flush System include: -

• The Lubing Touch Control LCW that can operate up to ten lines.  The system is programmable using a touch screen. Extension boxes are available that each operate eight drinker lines.
• A Lubing Optima E-Flush valve incorporated into the pressure regulator.  The Optima E-Flush Regulator is a drop-in replacement for the Optima Regulator and is compatible with all Lubing connectors, piping and accessories.
• An actuator that opens and closes the valve in the pressure regulator.
• The Flush Breather unit comprising a clear flexible standpipe with float ball and attachments for a drain kit.
• An optional temperature kit is available that activates the flush cycle at a preset water temperature.

The E-Flush Regulator allows manual flushing.  To save labor, the E-Flush Regulator equipped with an optional solenoid permits automatic flushing of drinker lines with the compatible LCW Touch Control.

For new installations with clean water lines, Lubing offers an ultrasonic cleaning module.  This option prevents the accumulation of biofilm.  The ultrasonic transducer is mounted in the incoming water line.  The transducer generates high frequency sound waves that generate a stream of bubbles. Resulting cavitation dislodges mineral and biologic deposits on the interior surface of water lines.  The system is both efficient and environmentally friendly since it obviates addition of chemicals.  The Lubing transducer can effectively operate up t0 1,000 feet of piping.

Lubing offers a slope reducer that adjusts water pressure along the drinking line in buildings with a gradient.  Slope reducers are available to compensate for 4 to 18 inches along lines.

Lubing offers a complete range of components to install and maintain watering systems for pullets, layers, turkeys, broilers and breeders.  Technical specialists can design installations and provide consultation. After-sales service is available from a dedicated team.
