TEATWAND STEPOVER
Reduces operator workload
The Teatwand Stepover automated teat sprayer is suitable for any herringbone and parallel milking parlors, designed to work equally well as pre-spray or post-spray.
Two sensors, four nozzles, a fully adjustable controller and online monitoring (available on request) allow excellent teat spray coverage of all four teats with efficient usage of teat spray.
The walkover teat spray system tracks the cow’s speed to automatically adjust the spraying sequence.
Four Nozzles
The Teatwand Stepover has four spray nozzles, two sets of two, each pair is independently controlled to provide full coverage of all four teats.
The Teatwand controller can easily adjust the sequencing and spray volumes applied to the cows’ teats, including the two nozzles function or the four nozzles function.
The low flow function:
-
Deploys two nozzles if the cow is walking at a slow speed.
-
Deploys four nozzles if the cow is walking at a fast speed, to ensure full coverage of the cow’s udder.
The high flow function:
-
Deploys four nozzles at all times, regardless of the speed of the cow.
Control System
Clever use of optical sensor technology, a smart program and simple push button controls make this a set and forget tool for the modern farmer.
The two sensors measure where and when the cow is passing through the lane, and provide data to the controller. This will automatically select the appropriate spray sequence providing full coverage of all four teats.
If the cow walks at a slow speed, two nozzles will be used in the spray sequence. If the cow walks at a fast speed, four nozzles will deploy to ensure full coverage of all the teats. If the cow stops walking, the walkover teat spray system will spray the teats once the cow walks through. It will not spray the same cow twice.
Safety Measures
Protecting your valuable cows and the Teatwand Stepover system.
The high-quality stainless steel Teatwand Stepover is built to support a cow's weight.
Cows have unseemly toilet habits, so the walkover teat sprayer system has been designed and built to deal with whatever the cow throws at it. An automatic nozzle wash periodically cleans the nozzles to ensure no debris is sprayed back to the cow’s udder.
TEATWAND STEPOVER
Designed to Work Hard
The Teatwand Exact is an Automatic Teat Spraying System suitable for any rotary platform type new or old running at speeds approaching 5.5 seconds per stall. Designed to work equally well as a Pre-spray or Post-Spray solution. A Laser Position Sensor, Twin Nozzles and a Fully-Adjustable Touchscreen Control System allows excellent teat spray coverage with efficient usage of expensive teat sprays.All Teatwand systems track the rotary platform speed and will automatically adjust the spraying sequence time to suit.
Twin Nozzles
Thorough teat spray coverage of all four teats is achieved with the use of two independently controlled spray nozzles that extend under the cows’ udder as the rotary platform passes.
The Teatwand will accurately spray the teats before the cow leaves her stall, giving her the best chance to combat mastitis. The Teatwand controller can easily adjust the sequencing and spray volumes applied to cows’ teats.
Control System
The Laser Position Sensor measures where the cow is in the stall and provides data to the controller. This will automatically select the appropriate spray sequence providing accurate and fast total teat coverage without unnecessary use of teat spray.
The Stall Sensors are used to determine the direction of the rotary platform. This measures the speed of the rotary platform and activates a spray sequence. If the rotary platform is reversed the Teatwand system will not operate.
The Cow Sensor detects if there is a cow in the stall. No cow, no spray, no waste. Every application counts.
The Cluster Sensor* will detect if a cow is still milking as it comes past the Teatwand. The Teatwand system will detect that the cluster is still attached and will not operate.
