Vacuum and Clean-air Lines
The solenoid in the milk meter body is a crucial component of the meter. Malfunction of
this solenoid results in inaccurate milk measurements. Milk meter body solenoids are
vacuum-operated; therefore, a continuous supply of stable, clean, and dry vacuum is
required.
Solenoids incorporate atmospheric air exhaust. Clean-air lines are used to protect
solenoid air suction/exhaust inlets from dirt that may block them or from water that may
penetrate and cause damage to the solenoids.
Proper installation, and preventive maintenance, of vacuum and clean-air lines is
essential for proper functioning and longevity of the milk meters. After installing the
lines, wash the vacuum line as described in the next section. Drawings on the following
pages, and the descriptions accompanying them, outline the requirements and the
installation procedure for ensuring proper functioning of milk meters.
Install lines as illustrated on the following pages, and in the following descriptions.
