The cases of using fixed and mobile milking machines are different and the selection and purchase of one of these machines should be done according to the number of animals and the future policies of livestock farmers. Mobile milking machines are usually used for small farms with a few numbers of animals, while fixed milking machines are usually installed in large farms.
High milking hours, resistance to tearing, prevention of animal mastitis, correct transfer of vacuum and pulsation to the animal’s udder, prevention of mastitis, and complete milking process until complete emptying of milk are important factors for determining the quality and efficiency of the milking liners. Your own or other farmers’ experience of using milking liners is very influential in determining the quality of the product and ensuring its correct performance.
The cup of milking machines is usually made of steel, but it is very important to recognize the quality of the steel used in its production. Because in the case of low-quality steel, the cup in the vicinity of the device’s washers will rust and disrupt the correct operation of the liner. One of the simple ways to detect the quality of steel used in the cup of milking machines is to use a magnet. If the magnet does not stick to the cup body, the steel used in it is of high quality.
Milking liners of Saba-Shirdoush company are produced from quality raw materials and in the framework of international standards. For this reason, it maintains its quality and flexibility in different environmental conditions and temperatures, and all of them can be used in the coldest and hottest weather conditions.
The pulsator is responsible for creating a heartbeat-like function for milking machines to ensure that the milking process is both complete and correct. To guarantee the pulsator is functioning correctly, it is advisable to check the device’s pulse graph every month. Uniformity in the pulsating cycle of the pulsator optimizes the number of times the liners are opened and closed and the health of the animal’s udder. The optimal pulse rate is usually between 52-68 cycles per minute. If there is any change in the pulsating cycle of the pulsator, it is recommended to contact the manufacturer’s service worker or support department for assistance. Additionally, it is advised to replace or service the pulsator of milking machines after 1500-2000 hours of use or after six months of usage.
Liners can milking about 1500 times to 10000 times, depending on the raw materials and production technology. The more accurate amount of this factor is set at 2500 milking times in most of the quality liners available in the market. After completing this number of times in milking the animal, the liner wall and texture are gradually destroyed, and decrease the effect of detergents on it. As a result, the microbial load of the liner and milk will increase and if not replaced, it will cause animal mastitis.
If your animals are of the same type, yes, you can buy a device for the same type of animal and use it to milk all your animals (for example, all sheep). But if there are different types of livestock on your farm, you cannot use the same milking machine for different types of livestock such as sheep, cows, goats, etc. and it is necessary to purchase a special milking machine for each animal. Although all milking machines are very similar in terms of appearance and milking performance, due to the difference in the diameter of the liners, the number of pulsator beats, the amount of vacuum created, as well as the difference in the anatomy of the lactating organ and also the size of the breast in different animals, one milking machine cannot be used for milking all animals.
By preparing various educational videos and also answering customers’ questions regarding the use of milking machines, Saba-Shirdoush Company has given complete explanations about the correct functioning of milking machines and their liners. You can understand the problems of the milking machine and its liners to some extent by watching the videos and receiving guidance from the support department, but since the problems of the machine are created gradually in most cases, contacting a milking machine expert or service worker is the best solution to diagnose and fix the problems of the milking machine and its liners. In general, a decrease in the milk produced, an increase in the amount of microbes in the milk, and continuous airing of the liners indicate the beginning of problems.
In the case of fixed milking machines, yes, the experts of Saba-Shirdoush Company, in addition to providing advice on designing a suitable location for installing the machine, also undertake all the installation and commissioning services of the machine, but mobile milking machines do not need to be installed by the experts of Saba-Shirdoush Company because of ease of use. You can see how to connect the milking machine to the animal by using the catalog and watching the training videos on the site, and if you have any questions or doubts about this, contact the company’s support department.
