Milking system

Thorough and efficient cleaning of the milking equipment is crucial for the quality of the milk, which is the raw material provided by the milk producer for further processing at the dairy. Additionally, proper cleaning is essential for the farmer to consistently achieve the optimal price for the milk.

To achieve the desired results, it is important to choose the right product for the task and apply it according to regulations. Additionally, various physical and technical factors, such as the design of milking parlors, can significantly impact the final outcome.

Conventional milking systems typically involve manual or semi-automated processes where milking clusters are attached to cows by hand. The cleaning of these systems involves several key steps:

Pre-Rinse: Begin with a warm water rinse to remove residual milk from the system.
Detergent Wash: Use a high-quality alkaline detergent to break down fats and proteins. Ensure the detergent is circulated through the system for the recommended time.
Acid Rinse: Follow with an acid rinse to remove mineral deposits and prevent scale buildup.
Sanitization: Before the next milking session, sanitize the system with an approved disinfectant to eliminate any remaining bacteria.

Regular maintenance and inspection of the milking equipment are also vital to ensure all parts are functioning correctly and to prevent contamination.
