Hartford Technologies is a major supplier of products for poultry
watering system applications using numerous variations of our
soft-stainless ball products.

The use of balls to control the flow in watering dispensing devices is
common. Most people will remember the water bottle used in their
child’s hamster cage where the weight of the steel ball provide a seal
to prevent water flow. When the ball was pressed the seal was opened
and water was allowed to flow. Once the contact was removed, the ball
rolled back into position and prevented the water from flowing. Because
of the design a non-precision ball could be used as the retaining feature
of the tube. It was designed to allow for minor variations in the ball diameter.
The same concept is used on poultry farms in feeding systems where
there could be tens of thousands of birds to feed.
