Onfarm Solutions
Exhibit Space: Farm Credit Dairy Center 6220, 6221, 6222
The Teatwand Parallel is the first and only ‘parallel parlor ’ in-parlor automated teat spraying system in the world.

A typical installation for a parlor from 40-60 stalls consists of four arms controlled by a centralized control system. It will place the spray nozzles directly under the cows’ teats ensuring accurate and consistent spray placement. A unique safety system allows the four arms to operate in the parlor safely while the milkers are working.
