Sanicleanse Air teat scrubber system
The lightest unit on the market
The Sanicleanse teat scrubber system ensures a crucial part of the milking routine is carried out consistently and efficiently.
The Air Sanicleanse system is our pneumatic air-powered teat scrubber, utilising a small air motor housed in the handle. The air supply is provided by the on-farm air compressor which can be connected.
The motor can be driven 24/7, so can handle herds of all sizes. Requiring no electric supply, the air motor offers great reliability.
Healthier Cows = Healthier Profits
Our award-winning teat scrubber that is helping dairy farmers around the world improve the health of their herds
-
TARGET MASTITIS, BACTOSCANS AND LOWER YOUR SCCS
From first use of the system, the evidence of it’s benefits can be immediately identified in the cleanliness of the milk filter at the end of your milking. The three brushes target all sides of the teat, ensuring a complete cleaning procedure is carried out. Cross-contamination between cows is eliminated as the brush is automatically sanitised between each teat and each cow.
-
SAVE TIME & MONEY
An efficient pre-milking routine is essential in any dairy farm. By providing a consistent pre-milking routine, the robust system ensures all the cows are prepped equally and efficiently, and with the stimulation and cleaning the system provides, users are able to milk more cows per hour.
By replacing the traditional pre-milking routine (usually involving paper towels and medicated wipes), this system eliminates waste, allowing for savings to be made in cost and in time.
-
EXTREME RELIABILITY & LONG-LASTING BRUSHES
Our teat scrubber has proven to be the most reliable unit on the market, with up to 1.5 million cows prepped before a quick service on the gear unit is required.
There are no costly hand unit replacements and there’s no need to purchase a new hand unit when you can replace any part individually.
Unique to Sanicleanse are the angled bristles that last longer and ensure the most efficient cleaning and stimulation of the teat.
-
IMPROVED TEAT CONDITION & HERD HEALTH
The one-visit preparation system, with warm water and teat condition chemicals, improves the condition of the teat and the base of the udder.
Reducing the time it takes to milk has also been proven to enhance teat health.
By eliminating cross-contamination, dairy farmers have reported marked improvements in herd health on a wider scale.

How it works
-
Phase 1
Warm water chemical mix loosens any dirt and massages the teat to stimulate milk let-down, while killing bacteria on the teat.
-
Phase 2
The two top brushes clean and sanitise the total area of the teat, controlling environmental pathogens, while also stimulating for a faster let-down.
-
Phase 3
Brushes spin without liquid to dry the teat. Optional AirPrep blows air around the teat to improve efficiency of drying period.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
How do I train employees to use system?
A full training procedure will be carried out once system is installed and ready to use. The system is very easy to maintain and is a lot easier to train new employees to use the scrubbers than alternative prep routines.
-
Where can the system be installed?
The control unit and dosing system for the disinfectant can be located out of the parlour id a chemical room, dairy room and additional rooms surrounding the parlour. In the parlour the system is either installed on an overhead pulley line from front to back of parlour or as a drag hose system type where one hand unit hangs from centre and is custom made to suit parlour length.
-
How much does the system cost?
The cost varies depending on what you as the farmer requires in terms of management of the system and also on the configuration of the parlour. The general rule applies that one scrubber is required every 10 milking points. In swing over parlours we can install a drag hose system type where only one hand unit is required up to 25 units.
-
How will this clean the teat ends better?
The top two brushes counter rotate cleaning the external surfaces of the teat while the third larger brush located underneath the top brushes gently cleans the teat end. Varying teat lengths are accommodated by this larger brush.
-
How will the teat scrubber help with my SCC, Bactoscan and Mastitis levels?
Introducing a better milk prep routine that is consistent and especially improves the cleanliness of the teat end combined with the quick kill disinfectant mix kills most mastitis causing pathogens and bacteria on the teats.
-
Why use hot water, what’s wrong with cold?
Hot water provides a comfortable massaging effect on the cow and helps improve stimulation even more – cold water is not nice for the cows and in colder months can cause them to jump and kick.
-
What initial benefits will I see from the scrubber from day of installation?
The scrubber dramatically improves stimulation of the teat using our unique hot water mix you can ensure cow comfort is achieved and let down is increased. Cleaner teats also and each milking cows will start to enter the parlour cleaner.
-
What maintenance is required on the unit?
The teat scrubber is designed to last over 1 million dairy cows before gears and bearings are required to be replaced. We do not ask for replacing hand unit which are expensive – we only supply singular parts as and when required.
-
Is the hand unit heavy?
Our Sanicleanse teat scrubbers are proven to be the lightest unit on the market. Our designs are ergonomic and our narrow hand grip enables easy and comfortable use of the scrubber. The scrubber is light and can be used by any age of person.
-
How quick is it to change brushes?
The black end housing unclips by hand and the brushes are threaded so no tools are required and a brush exchange can be carried out in as little as 60 seconds.
-
How long do the brushes last?
Brushes can last up to 20,000 cows on soft beddings – on sand up to 15,000 cows.
