Product Overview

The Udder Shower System is designed for washing dairy cow udders and teats before milking. A controlled water spray helps loosen and remove mud, manure and other visible contamination from the udder area.

The system is particularly suitable for dedicated wash pens and pre-milking preparation areas in commercial dairy farms. Its simple mechanical design supports reliable operation, straightforward servicing and long-term use in demanding livestock environments.

Key Features
  • Targeted spray pattern concentrates water on the udder area.
  • Designed for pre-milking udder and teat washing.
  • Rugged construction for intensive dairy-farm operation.
  • Low-profile sprinkler design helps reduce interference with moving cows.
  • Water-powered operating principle with no complex electrical drive required for the basic washer.
  • Serviceable internal components help simplify maintenance.
  • Suitable for new wash-pen construction and existing dairy-farm upgrades.
  • Can be arranged along wash-pen side walls for washing from both sides.
  • Customizable system layout according to herd size and farm conditions.
Structural Components
  • Washer Body: Rugged housing designed for installation in the wash-pen floor area.
  • Spray Nozzle: Produces a controlled fan-type water spray directed toward the udder.
  • Rotating Spray Mechanism: Internal precision components provide spray movement during operation.
  • Retractable Nozzle Assembly: The nozzle can retract into the housing when stepped on and return to its operating position after the obstruction is removed.
  • Water Supply Connection: Connected to the farm water distribution pipe through a suitable riser and fitting.
  • Wash-Pen Piping: Multiple units can be connected to a common water supply line according to the installation layout.

The exact material, connection configuration and system layout can be selected according to project requirements.

Working Principle / Structural Principle

Water pressure activates the washer and raises the spray nozzle into its operating position. The internal mechanism produces a rotating, low-trajectory spray that directs larger water droplets toward the udder rather than unnecessarily spraying the cow's back.

When a cow steps on the washer, the nozzle retracts into the body to reduce the risk of damage or interference. After the hoof is removed, water pressure returns the nozzle to the spray position.

For a complete wash pen, sprinklers can be positioned close to the side walls to provide coverage from both sides as cattle pass through the washing area.

  • Connection Details: Customizable according to local piping standards and project requirements.
  • Packaging: Available according to distributor and bulk-order requirements.
  • OEM Supply: Available upon request.
Installation & Maintenance

Installation: Install the washer body and riser in the prepared wash-pen floor according to the approved layout. Connect each unit to the water supply line using compatible pipe fittings.

Positioning: For a complete wash pen, sprinklers are normally arranged near the side walls and spaced according to the selected system design to reduce untreated areas.

Cleaning: Keep spray outlets and surrounding floor areas free from mud, manure and other debris. Flush the water line as required by the farm's water-management procedure.

Inspection: Regularly check spray performance, nozzle movement, pipe connections and seals for blockage, leakage or wear.

Service: The internal operating components can be serviced from the top on the referenced design, helping reduce maintenance time without removing the complete sprinkler assembly.

Project Cases

The Udder Shower System can be incorporated into dedicated cow wash pens positioned before the milking area. A properly designed wash zone allows cattle to pass through the cleaning area in a controlled flow before entering the milking parlour.

For dairy farm construction and renovation projects, the sprinkler quantity, spacing, water supply pipework and wash-pen dimensions can be coordinated with the overall livestock facility layout.

Product FAQ
Q1. What is the Udder Shower System used for?

It is used to wash visible dirt and contamination from dairy cow udders before milking.

Q2. How does the udder washer operate?

Water pressure activates the spray mechanism and directs a controlled rotating spray toward the udder area.

Q3. Can the system be installed in an existing dairy farm?

Yes. It can be incorporated into new wash pens or retrofit projects, provided the floor structure and water supply system can accommodate the required installation.

Q4. What water pressure is required?

The referenced Cow Washer configuration performs best at approximately 40–45 psi. Final pressure requirements should be confirmed for the selected model.

Q5. How should multiple washers be arranged?

A typical design places units close to the wash-pen side walls with approximately 5 ft center spacing. Final spacing should be determined by the wash-pen dimensions and cattle traffic pattern.

Q6. Can the system be customized for large dairy projects?

Yes. Quantity, layout, connection configuration, pipework arrangement and packaging can be customized according to project requirements.
