Boumatic Detachers

jump to bottom of page


As you can read on our  ‘About Us’  page  ...  Boumatic 4600 Signature Series Detachers  ...  or ‘automatic cup remover’ boards  ...  were where we first started with dairy circuit board repairs.

Having focused on them for a number of years  ...  we've since become inundated with other models from Boumatic's range  ...  as well as with most other brands.

Check out more details about the 4600 at the bottom of this page.

Detachers

This early series of boards look very similar to the 3200 series, but use quite different type connections for the wiring.

We have only seen a handful of these boards, and for some reason didn't get around to taking any photos.

Their main issues go back to moisture damage or faulty switches  ...  both of which can generally be repaired fairly easily.

Check out more details on these detachers in an old Boumatic catalogue which you can download here  ...  23 page pdf.

The 3200 Series Detachers

• Have you been having trouble with the switches on your 3200 detachers?

• Water getting in and rusting them out?

• Don’t really want to spend big money fitting stainless steel ‘piezo’ switches?

Well  ...  we can replace them with genuine switches  ...  the same as the originals  ...  which will give new life to your boards.

...  and an advantage (over stainless switches)  ...  is that each detacher can still be ‘reset’ from the front panel  ...  rather than having to get in to disconnect the power, every time a reset is needed.

If you have one or more faulty boards  ...  contact us  ...  we’ll organise a time that suits us both  ...  then send in the boards for a prompt repair and quick turn-around time.

If there is a possibility you may be interested in fitting stainless switches some time in the future  ...  we also fit flyleads to the board at the same time  ...  so that you can fit the switches yourself any time you choose  ...  without having to send the boards off again  ...  and I’m sure more importantly for you  ...  not having to take them out of the dairy again..

If for some reason you’d rather not have these flyleads fitted  ...  please mention that when organising the work to be done.

For those of you who don’t know what is involved in fitting the stainless piezo switches  ...  it entails (once the above mentioned flyleads are added)  ...

... removing the front cover
... carefully pulling the shaft out of the pcb switches with a pair of pliers
... fitting the new switches in place of the original buttons
... then hooking up the wires from the new switches to the flylead connectors mentioned above

Really quite simple  ...

Also, we should add too  ...  that obviously other faults can occur on these boards as well  ...  so it’s not always the switches. Feel free to contact us if you have any questions about these boards.

If you are sending in any of these boards  ...  please download and print out a  Repair Form  ...  fill it in  ...  and send it with your boards. It provides us with information about the symptons of the fault you're seeing ...  shipping  ...  and your preferred payment method.

3400 Perfection Milk Meter Detachers

These are more sophisticated again than the 3200 series detachers.

They include quite a bit more intelligence  ...  along with digital displays to provide data at each milking bay  ...  as well as a communications channel to and from the computer or Network Controller back in the office.

As with most dairy equipment  ...  moisture is probably the biggest killer for these boards. It then depends on where that moisture ‘sits’ and where the moisture protection barrier is weakest or has broken down  ...  as to what fails  ...  and what symptons you will have.

We have seen everything from plain corrosion  ...  of tracks and leads  ...  failed seven-segment displays  ...  faulty IC’s  ...  through to failed microprocessors.

So far most have been repairable  ...  so don’t write yours off yet.

It's hard to give a firm price for repair up front  ...  it depends on where the damage is  ...  as to what the end cost will be.

Obviously  ...  replacing an 80 pin surface-mount microprocessor  ...  or all twelve seven-segment displays, is more time consuming  and expensive  ...  parts wise  ...  than a simple corrosion repair job.

If you are sending in any of these boards  ...  please download and print out a  Repair Form  ...  fill it in  ...  and send it in with your boards. It provides us with information about the symptons of the fault you are seeing with the board  ... and  shipping and payment options.

4000 Series Detachers

There are a number of variations in the 4000 series of detacher boards  ...  a 4000, a 4200, a 4400 and a 4600.

These boards all look very similar and have very similar functions  ...   with the higher number boards having more features than the one below.

Read our summary on the 4600 Series below, to gain an idea of the sort of faults we can fix.

4600 Signature Series Detachers

As mentioned above, these boards are the ones we cut our teeth on  ...  and again  ...  moisture seems to be the main cause of their problems.

The sort of faults we see are  ...  corrosion of tracks and connectors  ...  faulty pots  ...  blown surface mount led’s, mosfets and IC’s  ...  and also the occasional ‘misfiring’ or dead microprocessor.

We keep a full series of parts for these boards  ...  so most faults are fixable. Our main weapon is a sophisticated test jig that we designed and built to put the boards through their paces  ...  initially to find faults  ...  and then to test them thoroughly after repair.

If you are sending in any of these boards  ...  please download and print out a Repair Form  ...  fill it in  ...  and attach it to your boards. It provides details of the fault you're seeing  ...  and shipping and payment details.

If you'd like us to program the boards with your settings before we send them back  ...  please download and fill in this form also.

Feel free to contact us with any questions you may have.
