A displaceable dual-valve mechanism separates milk and cleaning flow paths, preventing chemical contamination while simplifying automated milking line cleaning.
Real-time pressure sensing and valve adjustment stabilize milking vacuum to protect teat integrity, improve throughput, and prevent contamination.
An elliptical measuring chamber and vacuum outlet stabilize milk flow and reduce air bubbles for more reliable milk property sensing.
Embedded ZnO, TiO2, or silver in silicone milking liners suppresses biofilms and bacterial growth to help prevent mastitis transmission.
Cleaning liquid applied during teat spraying keeps the optical detector clear, improving teat position accuracy and cup attachment reliability.
Individual teat flow sensing adjusts vacuum at each teat cup, reducing teat harm and shortening milking time when flow is uneven.
Receiver vibration sensing detects cleaning slug arrival so vacuum and gas injection can keep milk-line cleaning slugs consistent.
