K-TROUGH
Built Tough, Designed to Last
K-Troughs have a proven track record for taking punishment from livestock. The 75L and 150L capacity can easily service mobs of 25 cattle or 150 sheep. Smaller trough sizes ensure frequent replenishment of fresh cool water encouraging livestock to drink more and put on more weight. The design is simple enough for quick and easy toolless service ensuring minimal disruption to livestock.
KEY FEATURES
- A wide base for extra strength and stability
- An inwards rolled edge to prevent stock rubbing
- A protected Philmac EasyPHIL™ compact float valve
- Easy access for valve refurbishment
K-Trough Benefits
A convenient inspection window which allows you to see the valve and acts as a drain hole when cleaning the trough.
The float valve and elbow connection to the water supply are recessed within the body of the trough to protect from damage.
Supplied with a Philmac EasyPHIL™ float valve and ball float to ensure reliable water service.
The unique curved design with inward rolling edges reduces the volume of water exposed to sunlight, keeping water cooler.
DESIGN
Using K-Line® Irrigation Pods proven track record for withstanding livestock punishment as inspiration, the RXP team have created a high quality and durable water trough with a wide base that means it won’t get tipped over. The curved shape and inward rolling edges remove any scratch points meaning stock will be unlikely to rub against it reducing risk of damage.
THE IMPORTANCE OF SMALL TROUGHS
Using multiple small troughs is often a better solution than one larger trough to service livestock. Smaller troughs enable a block to be separated into sections helping to improve pasture management and reduce congestion. Smaller troughs also turnover water more frequently which helps to prevent the growth of algae and bacteria. With fresh and cool water, stock drink more.
