About this Product:
Each machine will have a gauge to display the vacuum level, a regulator to adjust the vacuum level and a pulsator.
The pulsator is pneumatic and operates from the vacuum supply.
It is important that the operator realises that the pulsation speed depends on the vacuum level.
It is therefore important to set and regularly check the vacuum level and pulsation rate.
Vacuum:
As it is easy for the operator to think the pulsator is not working properly until the vacuum has returned to the correct operating level.
The machine provides a tube support for each cluster to minimise vacuum losses through slippage and promote correct cluster positioning.
If vacuum, pulsation and liners are similar enough to the parlour it will help to reduce further stress on the animal.
While milking or washing it is vitally important that the bucket is not allowed to overfill.
Allowing liquid to enter the vacuum tank and if not careful then into the vacuum pump itself.
Portable Milking Unit Maintenance:
As with all equipment routine maintenance is essential.
The vacuum supply tube from the machine to the buckets and the inside of the vacuum tank itself will require regular inspection.
Also cleaning using a tube brush where necessary.
Occasional inspection by a qualified milking machine engineer is advisable to ensure optimum performance is obtained.
Milking liners will need to be changed every 2500 milking’s or every 6 months whichever comes first.
If washed, stored and maintained properly the portable milking machines are extremely reliable.
Surprisingly quiet and provide a very valuable piece of equipment to both large farms and home users.
