Mounting the Milk Meter Body
Position each Afimilk MPC milk meter body per instructions here:
o Below the cow platform
> Above the milk line, allowing enough space to connect the fat sampler with
bottle at test day.
> Elbow Pipe connecting the meter outlet port to the milk line should be at a
downward slope towards the milk line, allowing gravity to control milk
evacuation.
o At a level position
o Protected from cow legs for avoiding coincidental damaging contact.
o In a position not interfering with parlor operators work.
Milk Meter Body Mounting Bracket
The body bracket is used for firmly fixing the milk meter body to its position. The milk
meter bracket should be welded or bolted to a firm wall or structure.
Milk meter body should be level at both axes. When installing the bracket ensure that it is
leveled. The bracket allows fine tune leveling of the body by means of adjusting screws,
as shown below.
