Applications and Usage

The Paxton SD275RH is designed for sheep farmers who need a reliable, high-capacity dipping solution to control ectoparasites across their flock. Sheep dipping remains one of the most effective methods for simultaneously eliminating both sheep scab and lice in a single operation, providing whole-flock protection within a closed group. The 1250-litre capacity is well suited to medium-to-large sheep enterprises, providing sufficient solution depth for full immersion even when multiple animals are processed in rapid succession throughout the dipping session. The integral right-hand slide guides animals safely into the dip without requiring modifications to the existing race or handling system, and the drain-back exit steps allow excess dipping solution to drain back into the bath as animals exit, reducing chemical wastage and maintaining correct concentration levels. The anti-splash rim controls spillage effectively, protecting the surrounding area from chemical contamination and reducing operator exposure. Scab mite can survive off-fleece for up to 17 days, making thorough dipping with sufficient solution depth an important part of achieving complete elimination in a closed flock.
