It's time to replace your liners again!

Don't let cheap liners cost you more. Sticking with the liners you know removes the risk of things going wrong during the busy period.

Why stick with the liners you know and trust?

• Your cows already know them
• Your team is familiar with the set up
• Reduced risk of unexpected issues during the busiest time of the year
• Consistent milking performance, season after season.

Regular liner replacement helps:

• Protect teat health
• Support mastitis prevention
• Maintain milk quality
• Improve milk-out efficiency
• Reduce liner slip
• Minimise hygiene bacterial build-up

Don’t wait until performance starts to drop. Fresh liners are a simple investment that helps protect your herd, milk quality, and overall milking efficiency.

Contact us today to discuss the right liners for your shed.

One less job in the shed at every milking

Cup removal is a job that has to happen for every cow, every milking.
Automatic cup removers take care of that task, removing the need for someone to stand at cups-off and allowing staff to focus on cow flow, hygiene and managing the shed. On many farms, that can remove the equivalent of a full labour unit from the milking routine.
Automatic cup removers use milk flow to decide when a cow is finished milking, helping ensure an accurate and repeatable process without relying on operator timing.

Talk to us today about cup removers and how they could reduce labour pressure in your shed.
