Agri Health Dummy Cluster Plug for Milking Parlours
Description
Agri Health Dummy Cluster Plug for Milking Parlours
The Agri Health Dummy Cluster Plug is a blanking plug that fits into an unused teat cup during milking. It is designed for dairy farmers and herd managers who need to milk only some of a cow's teats in a session while keeping the cluster's suction system working smoothly.
When a teat cup is left open, air is drawn into the cluster and the vacuum is disrupted. Inserting a dummy plug closes off that liner so the remaining teat cups continue to milk as normal, which makes this a useful spare to keep in any parlour.

FAQ
What is a dummy cluster plug used for?
If not all teats are milked during a milking session, the dummy plug is inserted into the unused teat cup so the suction system continues to operate smoothly.
Why not just leave the teat cup hanging?
An open teat cup allows air into the cluster, which can disrupt the vacuum. A plug closes the liner so the remaining teat cups keep working normally.
Will it fit my teat cups?
Parlour fittings vary between systems, so check the plug against your own teat cups and liners before use.
How do I clean it?
Rinse and wash it as part of your normal parlour cleaning routine, then store it dry with your other milking spares.
How many should I keep in the parlour?
Many units keep a small number to hand so a plug is always available when a cow needs to be milked on part of the udder.
Where is it made?
The country of origin for this product is Germany.
