First Time Operation
Vacuum valve & Milk Sweep
Milk residues left in the milking claw and hose after cluster removal often drip on the floor
and left inside the liners. This may cause cross contamination between a sick cow to the
cow milked after her at the same milking machine. This feature if enabled, allows
sweeping milk residues. Milk sweep opens the vacuum valve for a short time, sucking
atmospheric air through the cluster, now hanged at the stall thus sweeping milk residues
into the milk meter body.
Milk Sweep Parameters
Milk sweep starts 2
seconds after cluster
removal. The time for
valve opening for
atmospheric air is
defined by the
parameter SL (in
seconds).
Note
If you wish to cancel the SWEEP function, set SL=0.
