Automatic Teat Cleaning Cup for Dairy Farms

The Automatic Teat Cleaning Cup is designed for controlled teat preparation before milking. It can be integrated into an automated milking or teat-preparation system to help clean individual teats in a consistent and repeatable sequence.

The cup design supports targeted contact with the teat while separating cleaning fluids and waste from the main milk path. It is suitable for commercial dairy farms, robotic milking installations and automated milking parlour projects.

• Designed for automatic or robotic teat preparation.
• Individual teat cleaning helps establish a controlled pre-milking routine.
• Suitable for use with water, air and approved teat-preparation solutions according to system design.
• Dedicated cleaning path helps keep wastewater and preparation residues separate from saleable milk.
• Compact structure facilitates integration with robotic milking arms and preparation modules.
• Replaceable wearing components can simplify routine servicing.
• Suitable for intensive commercial dairy-farm operation.
• Compatible configuration can be developed according to the selected milking system.

• Cleaning Cup Body: Forms the main contact chamber around the teat.
• Teat Contact Liner: Provides controlled contact with the teat during preparation.
• Fluid Inlet: Connects the cleaning medium to the cup assembly.
• Waste Outlet: Directs used cleaning liquid and residues away from the primary milk path.
• Air or Vacuum Connection: Available where required by the selected automatic cleaning system.
• Mounting Interface: Allows connection to a robotic arm or dedicated teat-preparation mechanism.

Material selection, connection type and mounting geometry can be customized according to project requirements.

During the teat-preparation cycle, the cleaning cup is positioned around an individual teat. Depending on the complete system configuration, water or an approved preparation solution is introduced into the cleaning chamber while air, vacuum or mechanical movement supports the cleaning process.

After cleaning, used fluid and residues are directed to a dedicated waste or drain circuit rather than the saleable milk line. The prepared teat can then proceed to the milking stage.

Automatic teat-cleaning systems may also incorporate teat detection, positioning control, drying and individual preparation-cycle management according to the overall milking-system design.

Final dimensions, connections, operating pressure, flow requirements and compatible components should be confirmed according to the selected system and installation conditions.

• Robotic milking systems
• Automatic milking stations
• Commercial dairy farms
• Automated teat-preparation modules
• Large-scale dairy farm construction projects
• Milking parlour modernization and retrofit projects
• Dairy equipment integration projects
• OEM and replacement-part supply programs
• Agricultural engineering and livestock equipment projects

• Cup Geometry: Customizable according to teat dimensions and equipment configuration.
• Mounting Interface: Designed according to robotic arm or preparation-module requirements.
• Fluid Connections: Available according to project requirements.
• Air and Vacuum Ports: Configurable according to the operating principle of the complete system.
• Materials: Selectable according to hygiene, chemical compatibility and operating conditions.
• Replacement Components: Available upon request.
• OEM Service: Custom production and bulk supply available according to project requirements.

Installation: Install the cleaning cup on the designated robotic arm, teat-preparation mechanism or mounting assembly. Connect the fluid, air, vacuum and waste lines according to the approved system diagram.

Alignment: The cup position should be calibrated so that the teat enters the cleaning chamber correctly without excessive mechanical contact.

Cleaning: Flush and clean the cup and associated fluid passages according to the hygiene procedure of the complete milking system.

Inspection: Regularly check liners, seals, hoses, connectors and waste outlets for wear, blockage or leakage.

Service: Replace worn contact components and seals when required to maintain consistent teat positioning and cleaning performance.

The Automatic Teat Cleaning Cup can be integrated into robotic milking stations where individual teat preparation is required before the milking cups are attached.

For new dairy farm construction, the cleaning cup can be coordinated with robotic arm positioning, water supply, vacuum lines, wastewater drainage and the overall milking-station layout. Retrofit configurations are available according to existing equipment and site conditions.
