Plus Kits for HI FLOW Rotary Glands

Plus Kits for HI FLOW Rotary Glands allow an extra conduit path for high pressure low volume fluids such as compressed air or teat spray solution. Having a compressed air service permanently connected can allow the milk purge to be operated at any time.

Alternatively, the plus kit may be used to transfer teat spray solution directly onto the platform from the chemical mixing room when iPUDs are installed.

Gland components are machined from high quality stainless steel and engineered plastics. Harsh teat spray chemicals are handled via a nylon conduit for superior chemical resistance.

Key Features

  • Retro fits to existing HI FLOW 2C or 3C Glands
  • Nylon centre conduit to handle harsh teat spray chemical
  • Failsafe design on centre conduit to prevent contamination to milk chamber
HI FLOW Gland Rotary Swivels
  • Primarily used for delivery of vacuum, CIP wash water or milk
  • Butt weld connection
