ambic teat sprayers

[it's not over]

ive an ambic teat sprayer system in the palour,4 ambic sprayers. they are not the cheapest but they keep sticking on and have to bo hit against a steel rail so them turn off ,this happens very often, any solutions other than buying 4 more which will probably stick on too

I'm pretty sure you can change a o ring to fix them

I have never done it myself but a lad who used to work here would fix them no problem. Before I knew he could fix them we got some new ones and they have all failed for various reasons and the old ones are back in again

Got the same problem with mine,older ones never stuck,new ones from last year stick on if you press them hard.

Got a newer one with a parlour I bought,yes it broke,gone back to the old early 80s model,never been touched.

You can get seal kits for the guns that normally sorts it out but being like anything from ambic they are not cheap

Sorry but it was still a reference to udders.

Very true
Slightly out of my depth though

We had bother with our Ambic sprayer after years and years of use. Dairyman took pump to bits, had to glue it back together. Still same problem of pressure dropping after a couple of cows.
Bought new pump , £125 PLUS VAT. No improvement

Ordered new filter kit , came with new oneway valve.
No better.

Eventually our Mr Fixit found that the big metal air intake tube on the parlour venting fan, had been sitting on the supply tube and almost pinched it shut.
2" section removed and good as new.

Press it closer to the end and not closer to the pivot point and they don't stick

yes i do that and if i press too hard just once its a bastxxd

Agree it's totally sh!t. Maybe put a packer underneath so it limits the amount you can press it? No point wasting money. At a guess you could wedge the head of an old liner in there. It would give enough to let it spray but stop it being too much

They are crap. Buy some cotswold guns with ambic adaptor much better gun. (or buy the complete system)

Hi, push some grease or udder grease underneath the handle, over the ball bit, work a lot better, but have to top every now and again.

We use the deosan guns and they give little bother at all.

i dont want to sound thick but to be clear all i would need is to but the pump only option and fit it to my existing system

Exactly the same problem with ours......... and at the minute,exactly the same solution.

The same is true of the Low Heat water sprayers. Older ones with the name marked on them were good. New ones are rubbish and leak after a short time. The price for rubbish is ridiculous at about £11 each.
