Abstract

A milking system comprises one or more milking devices and a control unit. The system is provided with a plurality of milking cups, a first milk jug for receiving a milking volume, a first pumping device for pumping the milking volume, a milking jug for receiving a milking volume from the first milking jug A second milk jug, and second pumping means for pumping at least a portion of the expressed milk volume, and at least one storage tank for storing at least a portion of the expressed milk volume. The milking volume pumped by the second pumping device is smaller than the milking volume pumped by the first pumping device. Thus, most of the milk moves under low mechanical load and there is very little mixing with air. Thus the milk quality is improved. In the case of several milking units in a milking system, the individual milking volumes can be moved and processed individually.

Description

technical field

[0001] The present invention relates to a milking system comprising: a milking device for obtaining milk yield from milking of a dairy animal during a milking operation and a control unit for the milking system, and the The milking system is provided with: a plurality of milking cups each terminating in a milk hose; a first milk jug connected to the milk hoses configured to receive the milk volume and a first milk outlet that can be closed; a first milk pipeline that is in flow communication with the first milk outlet; a first pumping device that is configured for pumping the milk volume from the first milk jug into the first milk line; and at least one storage tank for receiving and storing the milk volume via the first milk line at least part of . Background technique

[0002] Such milking devices are generally known per se, such as automatic milking devices in conventional or robotic embodiments, such as Lely and DeLaval VMS TM Milking robots. [000...
