Immersion Dipping

Immersion Dipping

Sheep are guaranteed to be wet to skin level when dipped in a flood dip

Cage Immersion Dipping

The flood immersion dips operated by Dipping Dynamics have evolved to incorporate the principles considered by many to be the ‘gold standard’ in sheep dipping, ensuring that sheep are fully saturated to skin level. A large number of sheep swimming together makes this achievable, producing aggressive turbulence in the dip, opening the fleece and allowing unmatched penetration of dipwash to skin level.


The Flood Immersion Dip minimises operator exposure to dip-wash with its new design, placement of operating levers and standing platform.

Features of the Dipping Dynamics Flood Immersion Dip Include:

  • Can load sheep from ground level or out of the shed
  • Guaranteed saturation of sheep to skin level
  • 'Walking floor' facilitates rapid loading
  • Average throughput of 4,000 sheep per day
  • Large draining pen allows dipwash to return to the sump minimising chemical usage
  • Approved by APVMA Permit No. 81828 to use Diazinon in these machines for lice control
  • Rapid set up, wash down and pack up
  • Tank on truck can transport 10,000 litres of water from the nearest water source to the dip site

Flood Immersion Dipping

Recently Dipping Dynamics has designed and built a Flood Immersion Dip (fully patented). Rather than lowering a pen of sheep into a sump charged with chemical, the Flood Immersion Dip brings the dip wash to the sheep via two large hydraulic pumps to completely immerse the sheep in dip wash.

Features of the Dipping Dynamics Flood Immersion Dips include:

  • Easy loading of sheep from ground level or out of the shed
  • Guaranteed saturation of sheep to skin level
  • ‘Walking floor’ facilitates rapid loading
  • Average throughput of 4,000 sheep per day
  • Large draining pen allows dip wash to return to the sump minimising chemical usage
  • Side unloading
  • Minimises operator exposure
  • Rapid set up, wash down and pack up
  • Tank on truck can transport 10,000L of water from nearest water source to dip site
