Slurry Channels, Slats & Covers.
Six-month capacity. Cast in a day.
What size slurry channel do I need?
WCCP precast slurry channels come in three sizes — standard (1180×1100mm / 3'10"×3'7"), midi (875×780mm / 2'10"×2'7") and mini (480×370mm / 1'7"×1'3") — plus 8' diagonal slats, cast in sulphate-resisting concrete. Matched slats and corner pieces cast on the same order. Please call to check current yard stock or current lead times.
What size slurry channel do I need? Size for at least six months' herd output (SIG / SSAFO 2018 expectation), with a 2% fall to the cross-channel and width sized to the slat span. Standard, midi and mini depths cast in C40/50 sulphate-resisting concrete.
Precast slurry handling — channels, slats and covers, all from the same yard, all to the same standard. SSAFO 2018-compliant, cast in C40/50 sulphate-resisting concrete. Pairs with our V-Section Sand Channels range for mixed-bedding sheds.
