Prolac Non Return Teat Cup 300ml Dip Applicator
Description
Prolac Non Return Teat Cup - Post-Milking Teat Dip Applicator
The Prolac Non Return Teat Cup is a hand-held applicator used for disinfecting teats after milking. It is designed for dairy farmers and parlour staff who dip rather than spray, and pairs an angled cup and top handle with a splash-proof plastic bottle holding approximately 300ml of solution.
Its defining feature is the non-return valve, which ensures solution does not flow back from the teat into the bottle. That keeps the reservoir of dip clean between cows and helps prevent bacteria getting into the teat canal. It is best for small to medium herds and for anyone wanting a simple, chemical-resistant tool that survives twice-daily use.

FAQ
What does the non-return valve actually do?
It ensures the solution does not flow back from the teat into the bottle, so the dip held in the reservoir stays clean as you work through the herd.
How much solution does the bottle hold?
The splash-proof bottle holds approximately 300ml of teat dip solution.
When should the teat cup be used?
It is intended for disinfecting the teat after milking, as part of a routine parlour hygiene programme.
Is it suitable for use with teat dip chemicals?
Yes. The cup and bottle are chemical resistant and durable. Always follow the handling and dilution guidance supplied with your disinfectant.
How do I clean and store it?
Rinse through with clean water after each milking, allow to drain and dry, and store out of direct sunlight so the valve continues to seat freely.
Can it be used one-handed?
Yes. The handle sits on the top of the angled cup, so the unit can be lifted, inverted and applied with one hand.
