Trumpet Feed Drop Pipe
Trumpet-mouth drop pipe in Ø60 and Ø75 mm that spreads feed evenly across the pan instead of dropping it in one place.
PPØ60 / Ø75Even spread
Product Overview
A straight pipe drops feed in a heap at one point of the pan; the pigs eat the heap and leave the rim. The trumpet mouth widens the fall so feed arrives spread across the pan surface, which is what keeps several animals feeding at once.
Two diameters are produced — Ø60 and Ø75 mm, codes 62100 and 62101 — to match the drop pipe already in the house.

Why Buyers Specify This Product
Feed spreads, pigs share
A widened mouth distributes feed across the pan so more than one animal can feed at a time.
Two diameters to match existing lines
Ø60 and Ø75 mm cover the common drop pipe sizes.
Moulded PP, no corrosion
No metal in the feed path to corrode or contaminate.
Packed for container freight
48 pieces per carton in both sizes.
Problems It Solves
Feed heaps in one spot of the pan
The trumpet mouth spreads it across the surface.
Replacing a pipe means changing the line
Two diameters usually match what is already installed.
Metal drop pipes rust into the feed path
Polypropylene does not.
Who It Is For
- Houses with overhead dry feed lines
- Farms improving pan coverage without replacing feeders
- Distributors stocking feed line consumables
One-factory supply
Flooring, penning, feeding, water and climate are made on the same site, so a room can be specified and shipped as one order.

Materials and Manufacturing
Injection-moulded polypropylene. The Trumpet Feed Drop Pipe is injection-moulded on JGM's own presses in Ningbo. Polypropylene granulate is dried, dosed and shot into a steel tool, so the part that leaves the press is the part the tool was cut for — there is no secondary forming stage where the dimension can drift. Colour is added as masterbatch at the press, which is why colour goes all the way through the part instead of sitting on it as a coating.
Customisation Options
- Sizes and sections produced to customer requirement on a full-container order
- Colour matched to your existing equipment where the material allows
- Lengths cut to your room rather than to a catalogue dimension
- OEM and private-label production accepted
- Packing and carton marking to your import requirements
Quality Control
- First-off part from every tool change checked against the drawing before the run continues
- Shot weight monitored through the run as the check on wall thickness and fill
- Surface and edge inspection on every part as it is packed
- Assembled items function-checked before boxing

Comparison
How It Compares With Other JGM Products
| Alternative | When to choose it instead |
|---|---|
| Feed Drop Hopper | The hopper controls the fall out of the line; the trumpet spreads it into the pan. |
| Maxi Pan Feeder | Order the trumpet with a maxi pan where feed comes down from an overhead line. |
| Round Pan Feeder | A round pan with a central trumpet drop gives the most even feed distribution. |

Installing and Running It
Step 1
Measure the existing drop pipe before ordering — Ø60 and Ø75 mm are not interchangeable.
Step 2
Set the mouth height so feed spreads across the pan rather than bouncing out of it.
Step 3
Check for wear at the mouth annually in high-throughput houses.
Step 4
Include drop pipes in the feed line rinse at batch change.
Answers
Trumpet Feed Drop Pipe FAQs
Which diameter do I need?
Measure the drop pipe on the existing line. Ø60 mm is code 62100 and Ø75 mm is code 62101.
Does the trumpet reduce feed waste?
It spreads feed across the pan so more animals can feed at once, which reduces the pushing that throws feed out.
How many come in a carton?
48 pieces in both sizes; the Ø75 carton is the larger box at 550 × 450 × 650 mm.
Can the mouth height be adjusted?
It is set by how the pipe is mounted. Position it so feed spreads across the pan without bouncing over the rim.
