“The air-driven motor is the key difference. No electrical parts to fail during a busy milking session. It just works.”
We run 380 cows on a herringbone parlour and have been using the TeatScrubber Pro for 18 months. The system has been completely reliable. Service from Care4Cows has been quick.
Zero unplanned downtime in 18 months of operation. Somatic cell count consistently below 150,000.
“We hesitated for a long time. In the end we followed Care4Cows’ advice — and it was the right choice. We should have done it sooner.”
We are a family farm with 160 cows. Care4Cows gave us extensive guidance and even did a demonstration in our barn. Cleaning is now faster and more reliable.
Teat condition improved; less hyperkeratosis found at the first check after three months.
“On our carousel someone was always needed for pre-dipping. We now deploy that person differently. That pays off immediately.”
We milk 720 cows on a 40-stall carousel. Care4Cows designed the Pro+ configuration for us — four handunits on one central box. Installation was done in a single day.
Labour efficiency on the carousel improved; one fewer employee needed during milking.
“No paper, no wipes, no pre-dipping. The workflow has become simpler and the cows respond much better at attachment.”
We have 280 cows in a herringbone parlour. Before, we used huge amounts of paper every day. Since the TeatScrubber has been running, we have eliminated those costs entirely.
Pre-treatment consumable costs down by about 70% compared to paper and dip wipes.
“Since the TeatScrubber, no more paper or wipes needed. The milker gets it exactly right every time — the system enforces the routine.”
We milk 420 cows with three regular milkers and two stand-ins. Before the TeatScrubber there were always variations in how thoroughly cows were pre-treated. Now the system always does it the same. We use the Pro with the control box and can see in the morning whether the night shift followed the protocol.
Somatic cell count dropped from an average of 185,000 to 128,000 in the first quarter after installation.
