Milk meter operation begins when milk and air from the claw
enter the inlet of the meter. A bafe in the upper section of the
meter separates the air from the milk and directs the milk down
the inside wall of the measuring chamber (to reduce foaming),
while air escapes through the air bypass. This separation al-
lows the meter to maintain a stable vacuum level.
Attached to the top of the inlet is a small chamber containing
a diaphragm and spring assembly. These parts raise and lower
the plunger to empty and ll the chamber as determined by the
electronic control.
The measuring chamber contains a seat, a plunger with rubber
sealing surface and a sealed oat with a magnet inside. This
chamber is transparent and cylindrical.
