Jinlong Europe Type Double Cylinder Poultry Drinker & Feeder | DTN Series (1.5kg–12kg) | No Upside-Down Design, Automatic Water Supply for Chicken & Poultry
Product Overview
Introducing the all-new Jinlong DTN Series Europe Type Double Cylinder Poultry Drinker — a breakthrough innovation in poultry water management. Unlike traditional single-cylinder drinkers that require flipping upside-down to fill, the DTN series features an innovative double-cylinder structure that allows you to fill water from the top without inverting the unit. This game-changing design saves time, reduces water spillage, and makes daily farm operations significantly more efficient.
The DTN series is available in both standard 100% virgin HDPE and an eco-friendly straw composite material version, catering to diverse market needs — from high-output commercial poultry operations to environmentally conscious farms targeting European and premium markets. Complementing the drinker line is the FTN-1.5-3D Poultry Feeder, offering a perfectly matched feeding solution.
With 7 models spanning 1.5kg to 12kg capacity, the DTN/FTN series provides tailored solutions for chick rearing, pullet growing, and adult chicken management at any farm scale.

Key Features & Core Advantages
1. Revolutionary No-Upside-Down Design (Double Cylinder Technology)
The standout innovation of the DTN series is its double-cylinder structure. The inner cylinder holds and releases water automatically via gravity-fed flow control, while the outer cylinder acts as the reservoir. Farmers can add water from the top without flipping the unit — saving labor, preventing contamination from ground contact, and eliminating the mess of traditional designs. This feature alone makes the DTN series a preferred choice for automated and large-scale poultry operations.
2. 100% New Virgin Material — Two Options Available
Standard Version: Manufactured from 100% new virgin HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene), ensuring food-grade safety, high impact resistance, UV stability, and an extended service life in all weather conditions.
Straw Material Version (DTN-8/10/12-4D): Features an HDPE + natural straw fiber composite that reduces plastic usage, lowers carbon footprint, and appeals to eco-conscious buyers and European sustainability standards. Identical dimensions and performance to the standard version.
3. New Europe-Type Shape — Enhanced Stability
The redesigned European-type body features a wider base diameter, reinforced leg supports (3-leg for small models, 4-leg for large models), and optimized weight distribution. This ensures the drinker stays upright even when nudged by birds, reducing tipping incidents and water waste.
4. Automatic Gravity Water Feed
The double-cylinder mechanism creates a sealed air pocket that maintains a consistent water level in the drinking trough. As birds consume water, the level is automatically replenished from the reservoir — no manual adjustment required. This ensures continuous clean water access and supports healthy flock development.
5. Premium Configuration Parts
Every DTN drinker comes complete with precision-engineered components — including the outer cylinder, inner tube, water trough base, and leg assembly. All parts are designed for a perfect seal, easy disassembly, and straightforward cleaning. Replacement parts are available individually for long-term cost efficiency.
6. Full Capacity Range for Every Farm Stage
From 1.5kg starter drinkers for chick brooders to 12kg heavy-duty units for adult laying flocks, the DTN series covers every production stage. Mix models across your farm for optimized water management at each growth phase.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What makes the DTN double cylinder drinker different from traditional chicken waterers?
A: The key innovation is the no-upside-down design. Traditional poultry waterers require flipping the entire unit upside-down to fill with water, which is labor-intensive and can cause contamination. The DTN's double-cylinder mechanism allows top-filling — the inner cylinder automatically regulates the water level in the trough via gravity, so farmers simply pour water in from the top and the system handles the rest.
Q2: What is the straw material version and who is it for?
A: The straw material version (available for DTN-8/10/12-4D) uses an HDPE and natural straw fiber composite. It offers the same dimensions and performance as the standard HDPE version but with a lower plastic content, reduced environmental impact, and a natural texture. It is ideal for farms targeting European buyers, organic certifications, or eco-friendly product positioning.
Q3: What is the difference between 3-leg and 4-leg models?
A: Smaller models (FTN-1.5-3D, DTN-1.5-3D, DTN-3.5-3D) use a 3-leg base design optimized for compact size and stability for chicks and smaller flocks. Larger models (DTN-6-4D through DTN-12-4D) use a 4-leg base to provide enhanced stability for heavier water loads and more active adult birds.
Q4: Can I use the FTN-1.5-3D feeder and DTN-1.5-3D drinker together as a matched set?
A: Yes — the FTN-1.5-3D Poultry Feeder and DTN-1.5-3D Drinker share identical dimensions (Height 27cm, Diameter 20cm, Leg 7.5cm) and can be used as a perfectly matched feed-and-water station. This makes cage and brooder setup consistent and space-efficient.
Q5: How are the products packed for shipping?
A: All models are packed at 100 sets per carton. Carton volumes range from 0.246 m³ (DTN-1.5-3D) to 2.16 m³ (DTN-10/12-4D). This standardized packing ensures efficient container utilization and competitive international freight costs.
Q6: Are custom colors available?
A: Yes. While the standard offering includes transparent and common farm colors, Jinlong accepts custom color orders for both the HDPE and straw material versions. Please provide your Pantone code or color sample for quotation.
