INTRODUCTION
Dairy Chem Systems are designed to dispense non-foaming dairy cow teat dip products from a chemical storage
vessel to a teat dip spray head or fill valve. VS versions use an external vacuum switch on the pipeline to control
dispensing only when milking lines are in use. Systems with dual-pump configuration can be setup to operate in the
following ways:
•
Run both pumps simultaneously to inject two different chemicals.
•
Run one pump at a time, but alternate between pumps at various intervals (using the selector valve on units so
equipped) to extend the life of both pumps.
•
Run one pump at a time, but only switch pumps when needed (using the selector valve on units so equipped) to
keep one as a spare.
SPECIFICATIONS
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
•
Read and understand the MSDS sheets for the chemicals that will be used — consult your chemical supplier if you
have any questions.
•
Always wear safety goggles and protective gloves while handling chemicals.
•
Avoid contact of chemicals with skin and eyes. If contact occurs, rinse affected area with water for 15 minutes, and
seek medical attention, if needed.
MAINTENANCE
•
Periodically drain the bowl on the air regulator/filter by pushing up the stem on the bottom of the bowl till the water
runs out.
•
The bowl can be removed (by turning counter-clockwise) to clean the filter element. When replacing the bowl, be
sure that the O-ring is properly positioned on top of the bowl.
