A milking system comprises a milking device, and a milk storage system having: a temporary milk storage vessel (10) for temporarily storing milk from a plurality of milking operations, a milk pipe (8) from the milking device to the temporary milk storage vessel, a milk tank (12) for storing the milk from the temporary milk storage vessel, a control unit (13), a main milk pipe (11) from the temporary milk storage vessel to the milk tank, a pressurized liquid supply (15) which is controllable by the control unit and is provided and configured to supply a pressurized liquid, other than milk, to the milk storage system, a first (21) and a second discharge (22) provided on the main milk pipe, a selection device (24) which is controllable by the control unit and is on the main milk pipe towards the first discharge or the second discharge, wherein the control unit is configured to perform a milk transferring action for transferring milk in the main milk pipe into the milk tank with the aid of the pressurized liquid, wherein the liquid transferring action comprises the steps bringing the pressurized liquid supply and the first discharge into liquid connection with the main milk pipe, and breaking a liquid connection of the main milk pipe with the second discharge, allowing an amount of pressurized liquid to flow under pressure from the pressurized liquid supply into the main milk pipe, and breaking the liquid connection between the main milk pipe and the first discharge. Transferring the milk in this way means that it is subjected to less mechanical load and mixed with less air, which benefits the quality. The invention also provides a temporary milk storage vessel and method of this type. |
