AIRWASH PLUS – UNIQUE DIP AND RINSE SYSTEM
2nd February 2021
AirWash Plus is a genuinely unique and outstanding Automatic Dip and Rinse (ADR) system which offers several key advantages not available elsewhere.
A major factor in controlling mastitis, AirWash Plus improves parlour efficiency by automatically dipping teats and flushing liners clean, ready for the next cow.

5. After the cluster is removed from the cow it returns to the ‘park’ position and the teat cup is
