Applications and Usage

The Paxton FB5 is the widest footbath in the Paxton Agricultural range, making it particularly well suited to large cattle operations and mixed farms where multiple animal types share the same handling system. The extra 1635mm width accommodates wide-bodied cattle breeds and allows animals to walk through without crowding, improving both operator safety and treatment effectiveness. The 700-litre capacity reduces the frequency of solution changes during high-throughput gathering sessions, which is especially valuable on larger beef or dairy farms where hundreds of animals may pass through in a single session. Large-radius corners and smooth edges minimise the risk of injury as animals enter and exit, and the anti-slip ribbed base ensures confident footing even when the bath is full. The MDPE construction delivers excellent chemical resistance and a long service life with minimal maintenance, making the FB5 a cost-effective long-term investment for farms where regular footbathing is a core part of herd health management.

Paxton Agricultural's one-piece moulding approach eliminates internal seams and joints, removing potential leak points and ensuring the treatment solution remains fully contained throughout even the longest dipping sessions.
