Armentus Dairy Health Systems
Healthier Herds Start with Better Systems.
We build parlor equipment for people who are done compromising on prep quality. Our flagship, SaniTeat, cleanses, stimulates, disinfects, and dries every teat in 8 seconds. No towels. No brushes. One tool.
Who We Are
Dairy health solutions engineered for the working parlor.
Armentus was built for people who are tired of working around their equipment. Towels that spread what they're supposed to remove. Systems with more downtime than uptime. Prep quality that depends entirely on who's on shift.
We build practical, durable equipment that solves real problems in real parlors. Every product we develop is tested against the same standard: does it make the operation healthier, faster, and more consistent?
Herd Health First
Every solution starts with animal welfare.
Built for the Parlor
Engineered for wet floors, fast rotations, and long shifts.
Dealer-Backed
We partner with dealers who know your operation.
Our Flagship Solution
SaniTeat: Virtually Indestructible. Dead Simple to Use.
High-impact polymer. One moving part. Eight ounces in your hand. SaniTeat was engineered for the reality of a milking parlor: wet floors, fast rotations, and operators who need to prep hundreds of cows per shift.
- Consistent prep regardless of who's on shift
- New hires trained in minutes, not days
- Ergonomic grip reduces repetitive strain
- Proper stimulation drives faster letdown and higher milk output
The Problem
You Already Know What's Not Working
Towels, brushes, hand stripping. Every method has trade-offs you manage around. The real question isn't whether current prep has problems. It's whether there's something that actually solves them.
Towels & Hand Stripping
- Requires 2+ workers per shift
- Thousands of towels monthly
- Costly laundry service or on-site washing
- Cross-contamination risk leads to mastitis
Brush-Based Alternatives
- Harsh brushes cause cow discomfort
- Heavy devices (5+ lbs) cause worker strain
- Constant brush replacement costs
- Inconsistent results across operators
The common thread: no existing method delivers consistent stimulation across every cow, every shift.
Inconsistent Letdown
You know the difference a good prep makes. When stimulation varies by operator or method, you leave milk in the tank. Current tools make consistency hard to guarantee across a full shift.
Infection Risk You Can't Fully Control
Contaminated towels, aggressive brushes, teats that aren't fully dry. You manage these risks every day. The tools themselves are the weak link.
Labor and Overhead That Won't Scale
Extra workers for towel duty, laundry costs, brush replacements, training turnover. These aren't surprises. They're line items you've been absorbing.
Proven Results
Better for your herd. Better for your margins.

Common Questions
Armentus Dairy Health Systems develops practical equipment for the milking parlor. Our focus is on tools that improve herd health, reduce labor dependency, and lower operating costs. SaniTeat, our teat preparation device, is our flagship product.
We work with dairy equipment dealers across the country. Dealers know your operation best. They can evaluate whether SaniTeat fits your parlor setup using our free dealer calculator, and handle installation and training.
SaniTeat is a handheld teat preparation device that cleanses, stimulates, disinfects, and dries each teat in approximately 8 seconds. It replaces towels entirely, whether you currently use a laundry service or wash on-site.
The patented spray pattern delivers sanitizing solution directly to each teat, followed by air drying. There's no physical medium to launder, store, or risk cross-contamination with. One device does what towels, buckets, and dryers attempt separately.
SaniTeat works in herringbone, parallel, and rotary parlors. It integrates into your existing setup without structural changes or renovation. Use our dealer calculator to see specific recommendations for your configuration.
The handpiece is 8 ounces, built from high-impact polymer with one moving part. It was designed specifically for the harsh conditions of a milking parlor: wet, fast-paced, and hard on equipment. Operators describe it as virtually indestructible.
Minutes. The operation is intuitive: place the cup over the teat, press the trigger, move to the next. In a labor market where experienced parlor workers are hard to find, SaniTeat ensures consistent prep quality regardless of operator skill level.
Customers have reported approximately 100-point SCC reductions. The mechanism is straightforward: sanitized, fully dry teats before every milking eliminates the inconsistency and cross-contamination risk inherent in towel-based prep.
That depends on your parlor configuration. Operations using outsourced towel service typically benefit from additional handpieces. Rotary parlors with 8+ seconds per stall also benefit from a second unit. Our dealer calculator provides specific recommendations.
