Product overviewElectrical heating plates (plastic with fibreglass) and hot-water heating plates (polypropylene) designed to be integrated into the floor in place of slats. Intended to create a localised comfort zone to warm piglets in farrowing pens. Plates can be used alone in individual pens or placed under a nest to maintain a stable, homogeneous temperature.
Benefits for pigletsHeating plates are recommended for piglets up to 21 days as they provide a dedicated creep area, keep the heat source away from the sow, reduce the risk of injuries from broken lamps and offer a broader, more even heat surface. Their use contributes to reducing pre-weaning mortality.
AdvantagesElectric heating plates- Create a local comfort zone for piglets
- Even heat distribution over the full surface
- Minimal heat loss to the atmosphere and no accumulation of piglets’ body heat
- Low power consumption
- Low maintenance requirements
Hot water heating plates- Built into the floor without adding extra thickness
- Simple assembly on mountings between slats
- Easy to clean
- Anti-slip top surface
- Mountings supplied
- Can be adapted for weaning
- Create a comfort zone for piglets
- Low consumption
