<p>The milking system includes a milking robot (8) that can place teats (4) onto the animals and control the milking operation. The milk flows from the teats through a milk glass (6) and onto a feed line (2) to the milk tank (3). A cleaning system uses a fluid reservoir (14) that can feed cleaning fluid through the feed pipe, milk glass and the teats via cassette (21). Valves control which parts of the system are interconnected. A number of milk quality sensors (23-26) are positioned at the teats, glass and flow lines. These are connected to a computer which decides when and how urgently part or all of the system requires cleaning ADVANTAGE : Optimises cleaning cycles by cleaning when sensors detect contamination in the milk.</p> |
