How does a milking machine work on a cow?

Milking system divided into milking side and pulsator side. The system is turned on the vacuum is created everywhere by a Pransch piston vacuum pump that removes air from the system. When the cows are not attached to the milking system, vacuum created will be the same on both the milking side and the pulsator side of the system. When the cows are attached to the milking system by the milking claws, milk and vacuum are present on the milking side.

Parts in the Milking system:
●Pransch oilless piston vacuum pump
●Vacuum regulator
●Milk flow system
●Pulsator system
●Balance tank
●Vacuum piping
●Sanitary trap
●Milk receiver
●Bulk Tank

Working:
1. The machine includes teat cups that contact the cow’s teats and remove the milk, a claw where milk pools as it is removed from the four teats, vacuum tubes that provide vacuum to the teat cups and a milk tube that removes milk away from the claw, a source of vacuum for the machine, and a pulsator that regulates the on-off cycle of the vacuum.

2. Milking machine on a cow indicating machine parts. Note the chain leading from the claw to the left side of the image. This chain is part of the ATO of this system.

3. Most cows have four functional teats. Therefore, milking machines are designed with four teat cups. These are composed of an inner rubber liner and an outer shell, usually made of metal. The rubber liner is relatively thin in the section that sits inside of the shell, while the liner’s tube below the shell is thicker rubber.

4. A proper pulsation rate, that is the number of cycles of vacuum on - vacuum off (in Chamber B above), or milk phase – rest phase cycles, usually is about 45-60 per minute

After milking, the machine is thoroughly cleaned with hot water, soap, acid, and germicide solutions.

Here please note Pransch oil-free piston vacuum pump is your best choise for milking machine,which is zero maintenance cost,no oil needed and no oil-mist problem.
