Transparent Dosing Cup
Clear-body dosing cup in 6 L and 8 L, so the set ration can be checked at a glance before the drop.

Product Overview
The argument for a transparent cup is simple: a stockperson walking the row can see whether every cup filled. A blocked auger, a bridged cup or a mis-set volume shows up before the feed is dropped rather than after the sow has missed a meal.
The mechanism is the same volumetric body and release as the opaque version, in 6 L and 8 L, codes 22118-2 and 22119-2.
Technical Features

Why Buyers Specify This Product
You can see the ration before it drops
A walk down the row checks every cup in one pass, with no need to open anything.
Blockages are found before feeding, not after
An empty or partly filled cup is visible immediately.
Same capacities as the opaque cup
6 L and 8 L cover gestation and lactation rations.
Container quantities already calculated
8 cups per carton, 64 per pallet, roughly 1,408 sets in a 40 ft.
Problems It Solves
Missed feeds are found the next day
A visible cup shows the problem before the drop.
Staff cannot verify a setting without a scale
The fill line is visible from the alley.
Feed bridging goes unnoticed
A clear body shows bridged feed at a glance.
Who It Is For
- Farrowing and gestation rooms with staff walking the row before each feed
- Farms training new stockpeople on ration control
- Producers who want verification without extra instrumentation
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 Transparent Dosing Cup 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 |
|---|---|
| Dosing Cup (6L / 8L) | The opaque-body cup is the lower-cost option where visual checking is not part of the routine. |
| Feed Drop Hopper | A drop hopper takes the dosed feed down into the trough without scatter. |
| Maxi Pan Feeder | Ad-lib pan feeding is a different system — use it for finishing, not for sow rations. |

Installing and Running It
Step 1
Set the volume from your ration table and verify one cup on a scale.
Step 2
Walk the row before release and look for any cup that has not filled.
Step 3
Clean the outside of the body during washdown so it stays readable.
Step 4
Adjust the setting whenever the diet formulation or density changes.
Answers
Transparent Dosing Cup FAQs
Does the transparent body stain?
It is cleaned with the room during normal washdown. Keep the outside clear so the fill level stays readable from the alley.
Is the mechanism the same as the opaque cup?
Yes — the same volumetric body and release, in the same 6 L and 8 L capacities.
Which codes are the transparent version?
22118-2 and 22119-2.
How many cartons make a pallet?
Eight cartons, which is 64 cups, on a pallet of 1050 × 1000 × 2220 mm for the 6 L version.
