ELECTRIC COW BRUSH
Cosy Cow
The cow brush that swings, compact and reliable. Increases the well-being of your cows.
“In continuous use, from sunrise to sunset, because cows want to use it constantly.”
That intensive, continuous load? Day after day, season after season, that is exactly why we do not compromise on reliability. No maintenance. No downtime.
3-year warranty. Our cow brushes run an average of 18 hours per day and they do this year after year, without maintenance.
The technology
Proprietary design, fully enclosed.
The gearbox is the component that provides the power for brushing. We have developed our own planetary gearbox, fully sealed against dirt and moisture.
What you notice
A gearbox that performs its task, even in an environment full of dust and moisture.
Moves with the cow
The brush moves freely with the shape of the animal, from head to tail, reaching every spot.
How the flow-start system works
01
Starts on movement
As soon as the cow pushes against the brush, the PCB registers the tilt. The motor starts immediately, without a button or timer.
Installation? Simple.
Mount on:
It does not matter where the Cosy Cow is attached: brick, concrete, an I-beam, or a steel post — as long as the underlying structure is sturdy enough, the cow brush can be mounted anywhere. To walls using wall anchors or expansion bolts, to posts with bolts and nuts or U-brackets. Thanks to our modular design, installation is also simple, requiring no specialized tools or technical knowledge.
Due to the wide variety of mounting options, the wall or post mounting hardware is not included as standard, but the design fully accounts for this. The required materials are commonly available everywhere.
Placement and group size
Where the brush is located determines how often it is used.
A few practical principles apply to the placement: Preferably choose a junction (1) or end wall (2) in the barn: there is usually sufficient space here without the brush blocking the walkway. Do not place the brush in a dead-end corner (3), so that a cow can always move away from a dominant animal. Additionally, ensure there is enough space for other cows to pass the brushing cow; how much space is exactly required depends on the size of the cows in the herd. A Comfy dealer or barn builder will be happy to assist you in planning the layout of the barn.

Animal welfare is paramount
Less mastitis, more milk.
A study by Cornell University tracked four comparable groups of cows on an American dairy farm for six months, both with and without a mechanical cow brush. In second-lactation cows, daily milk production increased by approximately 3.5%. The incidence of clinical mastitis (udder infection) decreased by 34% in second and later lactations. From the moment the brushes were active, the cows used them intensively. What you will notice Healthier cows, fewer cases of mastitis, and a measurable increase in milk production in a portion of the herd.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
The Cosy Cow itself has no technical limit on the number of cows per brush. In practice, the maximum depends primarily on local regulations, dairy factory standards, or other welfare requirements — not on the brush itself.
Preferably choose a junction or an end wall in the barn: these areas usually provide enough space without the cow brush blocking the traffic route. Avoid dead-end corners so a cow can always move away from a dominant animal. Additionally, ensure there is enough room for other cows to pass the cow being brushed — the exact amount of space depends on the size of the cows in the herd. A Comfy dealer or barn designer would be happy to advise on the barn layout.
As a rule of thumb: mount the bottom of the wall plate approximately 15 cm above the shoulder height of the cows in your herd.
Thanks to the efficient 24V, 3-phase motor, the brush consumes on average only 0.12 kWh under normal load. Low energy consumption, even with intensive use of up to 18 hours per day.
The Cosy Cow is equipped with a UHP-350-24 power supply, capable of handling a wide voltage range from 90V to 250V. As a result, the cow brush effortlessly absorbs voltage dips and peaks — caused, for example, by a weak power grid, solar panels, or other equipment on the same connection. Stable operation, regardless of the quality of your mains power.
The built-in overload protection ensures that the cow brush automatically rotates in the opposite direction, releasing the tail by itself. Safety is built-in as standard.
Our brushes operate an average of 18 hours per day, year in and year out, without maintenance. That is why we provide a 3-year warranty — an investment that more than pays for itself.
No. The Cosy Cow is delivered plug-and-play and features a modular design. With a weight of only 45 kg, installation is simple, even without prior technical knowledge.
Yes. Thanks to the flow-start system, the cow brush always starts automatically in the correct direction of rotation, regardless of which side the animal approaches from. Furthermore, the brush can rotate both clockwise and counter-clockwise, which ensures even load on the bristles and extends the lifespan.
