This Trolley type Milking Machine is ideal system for little dairy farms. It is convenient for use and maintenance. It is the supreme alternative to a pipeline, economical durable and easy-to-use equipment. This machine has two reciprocating vacuum pumps driven by a gearbox and motor, a control unit with Vacuum gauge, a milk container, a milk claw with stainless steel ball valve, connecting milk and vacuum pipes. The pump is mounted on an ergonomically designed stainless steel trolley with 6 inch (15.24 cm) polymer wheel. It can be powered by domestic inverter of 800VA and higher and also can be operated manually if required. This machine is suitable for herd of less than 10 milking animals.

Usage
:
Step 1 : Prepare Your Equipment
Cleanliness is Key : Before using the machine, ensure that all components are thoroughly cleaned and sanitized. This will help prevent contamination and maintain the quality of the milk.
Check the Machine : Inspect the electric milking machine for any signs of wear or malfunction. Ensure that all hoses are connected properly and that there are no leaks.
Power Up : Connect the milking machine to a reliable power source. Make sure the vacuum pump is functioning correctly by turning it on and listening for any unusual noises.
Step 2 : Prepare the Animal
Calm the Animal : Approach the animal calmly and ensure it is comfortable. A relaxed animal will yield better results during milking.
Clean the Teats : Use a clean cloth or antiseptic solution to wipe down the teats. This removes dirt and bacteria, reducing the risk of contamination.
Stimulate Milk Letdown : Gently massage the udder to stimulate milk flow and encourage letdown.
Step 3 : Attach the Milking Claw
Position the Milking Claw : Hold the milking claw in one hand and align the teat cups with the animal's teats.
Securely Attach the Cups : Gently place each teat into the corresponding cup and ensure a snug fit to create a vacuum seal.
Step 4 : Begin Milking
Start the Machine : Once the claw is attached, turn on the milking machine. The pulsator should activate, and you should hear a rhythmic sound indicating it is working correctly.
Monitor the Process : Keep an eye on the milk flow through the transparent tubing, which allows you to see when milking is nearly complete.
Check the Animal's Comfort : Periodically check the animal’s reaction. If they seem uncomfortable or agitated, consider stopping for a moment and readjusting the machine.
Step 5 : Finish and Clean Up
Detach the Claw : Once the milk flow has slowed significantly, it’s time to gently detach the milking claw from the udder. Avoid pulling too hard; instead, release the vacuum first to minimize discomfort.
Post-Milking Care : Clean the teats again with a disinfectant to prevent any potential infections.
Empty the Milk Storage Container : Carefully pour the collected milk into a clean, sterilized container for storage or processing.
Clean the Milking Machine : After each use, disassemble the milking machine and clean all components as per the manufacturer’s guidelines. This will extend the life of the equipment and ensure the quality of the milk.
Maintenance :
Inspect the Milking Clusters and Liners : Each day, check the milking clusters for signs of wear and tear, including any cracks or brittleness in the liners. Ensure that they are properly fitted and free from debris. Replace liners as per requirement, to ensure optimal suction and minimize discomfort for the cows.
Check Vacuum Levels : Daily checks of the vacuum system are essential. Ensure that the vacuum pressure is within the recommended range for effective milking. If the vacuum is too low, adjust accordingly to prevent long milking times and ensure cow comfort.
Inspect Hoses and Connections : Weekly, check all hoses for leaks, wear, and flexibility. Replace any damaged hoses or fittings to maintain a strong vacuum seal and prevent air leaks, which can lead to inefficient milking.
Lubricate Mechanical Parts : Regular lubrication of moving parts such as bearings and motors is essential for preventing friction and wear. Use the manufacturer’s recommended lubricant and follow appropriate guidelines.
Engage Professional Servicing : Annually, or as needed, engage a professional technician to perform a comprehensive service on the machine. This service should include checking all mechanical and electrical components, and ensuring the system operates at peak performance.
Applications
:
Dairy Farms : Predominantly utilized in commercial dairy operations to facilitate the milking process for cows and buffaloes ensuring rapid and sanitary extraction of milk.
Processing Plants : Function as part of an automated system in milk processing facilities, ensuring that the milk collected is of high quality and ready for distribution.
Reduced Dependence On Skilled Labor : The milking machine reduces the dependence on skilled labor for milking operations, making the task more efficient and cost effective and let's anyone take control over the milking operation without the need of having the required skillset to milk a cow.
