Milking Point Controller

Milking Point Controller

The  milk yield indicator controls the milking process for each Cow, Sheep or Goat, either automatically or through manual operation. It consists of a) a waterproof transparent plastic housing which contains the electronic board and b) an easy-to-use keyboard – membrane.

Main Features

• Easy to use.
• Measures milk yield, conductivity and temperature without interfering with the flow.
• Measures milking time and milk flow accurately for both high and low flow rates.
• Suitable for cows, buffalo, sheep and goats.
• Suitable for any milking parlour.
• Can control parlour gates (optional).
• Collect data about the cleaning process.

Milking Features

• Milk yield measurement accuracy within ±5%.
• Milk temperature measurement accuracy within ±0.1% between 35°C and 41°C.
• Milk high-temperature alarm.
• Milk conductivity indication and registration.
• Milk flow rate and total yield indication.
• Ability to measure small milk quantities for buffalo, sheep and goats.
• Low vacuum drop (0.58 kPa) and unrestricted milk flow due to free-flow milk sensor design.
• No additional air inlet and milk foam generation.

Pulsation Features

• Adjustable pulsation speed and ratio
• Optional automatic or manually activated stimulation.
• Optional milk flow-controlled pulsation.
• 8 Flow Control Pulsation (FCP) curves.
• Pulsation outputs: internal 24 V DC or external 12–24 V DC.

Cleaning Features

• Minimum use of detergent and water during the cleaning cycle due to low volume free-flow milk sensor design.
• Cleaning parameter deviations are monitored with well-defined alarm codes.
• Available centralized parlour commands for enabling cleaning mode (start/stop) for all units from any controller

Operation Features 

• Clearly defined keys for start/stop milking.
• Clear display of attention codes.
• Optional remote start button.
• Three outputs are available (A, O, T); individually and freely assignable for cluster takeoff, vacuum valve, striping arm, etc. Outputs are individually hardware configurable for 24V DC
• Accurate automatic cluster takeoff.
• Adjustable time delay between vacuum shut-off and cluster takeoff.
• Cluster kickoff indication.
• Enables operation of parlour gates and separation gates.
• Enables full automatic operation of tandem parlour gates.
• Individual post swing over control.
• Post and parlour control through extended keyboard layout.

Infrared Milk Flow Sensor  

Each milk flow sensor measures milk flow using near-infrared technology and co-operates effectively with each milking point controller. The sensor is completely sealed and has no moving parts, thus milk flows freely without restrictions.

Main Features 

• Measures even small quantities of milk accurately  using near-infrared technology
• Tube-shaped diameter free flow
• Does not restrict the milk flow
• Easy to clean
• Saves water and detergent
• Simple left or right installation using a single mounting kit
• No consumables required
