Milk Machine are machines which are used in the dairy farms to milk cows in an intensive level. It reduces human labor, thereby increasing high productivity. Producing quality milk is a complex process and in today’s highly competitive dairy industry and there is little room for error. Hand milking is a labour intensive system in which capital investment, running costs, labour productivity and milking performance are minimal. Clean milking clothes, buckets, udders and hands are essential for good hygienic quality milk. Milking Machine is used in the dairy farm to harvest milk from the udder of the cows. It is possible to do the milking manually if the dairy cattle is less but with the increase in the number of dairy cattle it becomes impossible to do the milking manually. It becomes difficult to maintain quality of milk productivity, cleanliness, hygiene, and to maintain the health of the cattle herd. Milking Machine helps to extract milk from the cow mechanically. Dairy cattle are milked by machine. Milking machine design and function is critical for rapid and efficient removal of milk without damage to the teat or gland and with minimal risk for transmitting pathogenic microorganisms that might cause mastitis. Milking machine gives good milk quality, excellent performance, is easy to operate and it gives longer service life. This Cow Milking Machine is made available in various technical specifications as per the clients defined needs at nominal prices.
How is milking machine process helpful to cattle herds?
The principle of machine milking is to extract milk from the cow by vacuum. 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. Many milking machines today have an automatic take-off device that removes the machine from the cow when milking is completed. In addition, many milking machine systems are linked to a computer system that both regulates the machine and generates data about the cow and its milk as milking is occurring. Most cows have four functional teats. Therefore, milking machines are designed with four teat cups.
Many milking systems today are equipped with an automatic detacher. The milking system detects flow rate of milk coming from the gland. When that flow rate drops to a specified level, the vacuum is turned off and a mechanical arm or chain retracts and pulls the machine from the cow's udder. This prevents overmilking of the cow's udder that often happens when humans have to make the decision of when to take the milker off.
Milking systems today often are controlled by computer systems that record production information, sometimes indicators of mastitis, and other cow information. Milk yield is determined by a milk flow meter.
