Vacuum Shut-off Valves
Vacuum shut-off valves and removal pistons are the basic components
supporting automatic stoppage of milking.
In principle, large variety of vacuum shut off valves, available for local
sourcing, may be used for shutting vacuum off at removal. Alternatively,
afimilk offers a range of valves for specific usage in conjunction with
Afimilk MPC milk meters. For the list of available vacuum valve options,
refer to the accessories chapter.
If one of afimilk valves is used, additional bracket for mounting the valve
at its proper place near the milk meter is available. The figure below
illustrates the mounting options of afimilk type valves.
