Automatic Cup Removers
Enhance cow udder health and reduce time or milkers required with automatic cup removers.
Automatic Cup Removers (ACRs) are suitable for Herringbone or Rotary sheds and benefit both your cows and milkers.
Automatic Cup Removers
Protect your cows’ udders
Milkers need to be skilled in removing milking clusters correctly, but it is getting harder to find and retain skilled staff. Milking clusters left on cows too long result in over-milking, liner creep and teat-end damage.
ACRs benefit your herd by ensuring timely, gentle, and correct removal technique of cups when milking cows, helping to:
- reduce over-milking and teat damage
- maximise cow udder health and milk quality
- enhance cow comfort
- minimise cranky, poorly behaved cows during milking
- increase milk production
Automatic Cup Removers
Save milking time
Milking cows is very time consuming, occupying > 50%1 of an average NZ dairy farmer’s day. By automating the repetitive task of removing milking clusters from cows, automatic cup removers benefit milkers by helping to:
- reduce milking time
- reduce number of milkers required
- rely less on skilled staff
- reduce milker fatigue
- minimise risk of milking-related repetitive strain injuries
- offer a more attractive workplace
DairyNZ research indicates only 50%1 of New Zealand dairy farms are currently taking advantage of ACRs.

What do cup removers do?
SenseHub Dairy ACRs come with a free flow milk sensor that accurately measures milk flow. When the flow drops below a predefined threshold, the ACRs automatically remove the cups.
The ACRs can also display milk yield, low yield alerts and drop alerts (kick-offs) at the milking point.
In herringbone sheds, swingarm ACRs have the added benefit of keeping the centre of the pit clear, further improving the working area for milkers.
Our Authorised Dealers can help you work out which automatic cup remover solution is right for you.
