AI Technical Summary
Existing milk filters used in milking devices are poorly cleanable, leading to labor-intensive replacement and excessive consumption of materials, with countercurrent cleaning methods not effectively addressing the cleanability issues, especially for upper holes.
A milk filter design featuring a cylindrical housing with a concentric cylindrical filter plate and core, where the second volume part extends beyond the filter plate holes, allowing for countercurrent cleaning that improves the cleanability of the upper holes by ensuring the cleaning liquid develops a turbulent boundary layer before reaching the holes.
The improved design enhances the cleanability of the milk filter, particularly the upper holes, by ensuring effective turbulent flow of the cleaning liquid, reducing the need for frequent filter replacements and minimizing material consumption.
