Milking Machines
According to the energy usage, Milking Machines can be grouped as Petrol Milking Machines, Electric Milking Machines, Tractor Rear Milking Machines. Also, based on their equipment, they can be grouped as Single Milking Machine, Multiple Milking Machine, Double Milking Machine, Triple Milking Machine, Quadruple Milking Machine, and Milking Units. In addition, Goat Milking Machine, Sheep Milking Machine, Cow Milking Machine are milking machines with different features. The design and function of Milking Machines are crucial for milking the milk quickly and effectively without causing damage to the teat or udder, and with minimum risk of transmitting pathogenic microorganisms that can cause mastitis. The only way for organisms that cause Mastitis to enter the udder is through the teat canal. Milking Machines provide the path for separating the milk from the udder, therefore, the teat canal is always opened to take out the milk.< /p>
A significant part of the recommended milking process with Milking Machines is directly or indirectly related to the control and prevention of mastitis. The physical and functional interface between the teat and the machine is carefully designed to minimize intra-mammary infections as a result of milking. While Milking Machines account for only 5-10% of mastitis cases, the proper function of the milking machine must be maintained over time. Incorrect vacuum or pulsator settings or worn teat cup liners can increase the machine's contribution to intra-mammary infection.
The machine includes a cluster where the teats of the cows come in contact and which extracts the milk, a claw where the milk is collected after being removed from the four teat cups of the milk pool, vacuum tubes that provide vacuum to the teat cups, and a milk tube that removes the milk away from the udder. There is a vacuum source for the machine and a pulsator that controls the opening-closing cycle of the vacuum. Many Milking Machines today have an automatic take-off (ATO or detacher) device that removes the machine from the cow when milking is completed. Additionally, many milking machine systems are connected to a computer system that regulates the machine and generates data related to the cow and milk during the milking process. The following description provides a general overview of the components of a Milking Machine.
