Suction Valve Dosing Pump

Suction Valve for Cleaning Agent Pump (Lely A4 & A5 Compatible)

Compatible with Acid/Brush Disinfectant (Black Pump) & Alkaline Detergent (Orange Pump)

Ensure your Lely Astronaut A4 or A5 maintains a consistent prime with this high-quality Suction Valve. Positioned at the intake side of the chemical dosing system, this valve is a critical component for the peristaltic pumps that manage your daily wash cycles and brush hygiene.

In a robotic dairy, accurate chemical titration is essential for milk quality and system longevity. This suction valve ensures that the pump pulls a precise amount of cleaning agent from the container every time, preventing air pockets and "dry pumping" that can lead to inadequate cleaning.

Why Replace Your Suction Valves?

Worn or "swollen" suction valves are a leading cause of inconsistent cleaning. If your robot is struggling to pull chemicals from the barrel or you notice air bubbles in the dosing lines, the suction valve is often the culprit. Replacing these valves is an inexpensive way to ensure your CIP (Clean-In-Place) system meets all hygiene standards.
