Maintenance an calibration
The following points are important to sustain
correct dosing of etergents. Note that
these two tasks should be performed by an
authorised DeLaval service engineer.
• The tubes in the peristaltic pumps should
be replaced at least two times a year.
• The dosing volume (P6-P8) of the
detergent pumps should be checked
every third month. The dosing capacity
(P32-P34) may need to be adjusted.
Starting cleaning or rinsing
from the touch screen
Note: Any ongoing backflush process must
first be finished before cleaning or rinsing
can be started.
1. Ensure that the milking station is in
manual mode.
2. Remove any cow that might be in the
milking station.
After treatment window
Note: Both gates should be closed to
prevent a cow from entering before the
system cleaning has been started. Closing
and opening gates is done in the Stall
control window.
3. Press the tab After Treatment on the
touch screen to display the After treatment
window.
4. In the After treatment window, press the
Cleaning and Rinsing button. This will open
the Cleaning and rinsing window.
3.1 Milking the animal
Ensure there is no problem with the identification
of the animal and the cluster attachment is ena-
bled. If the cluster attachment is disabled, per-
form override.
Note! If the option "Allow to milk temporary
cows" is activated in DelPro software, no herd
management alarm is shown on the button mod-
ule.
Note! If the option "Allow to milk temporary
cows" is activated in DelPro software, all cows
are allowed to be milked with or without trans-
ponder and no herd management alarm appears
on the button module. However, as long as the
cow is unidentified comfort start is deactivated
and the large button on the button module must
be pressed to release the cluster. If the cow is
identified after cluster attach and the cow has a
"Do not milk" or "Dump milk" flag set, the cluster
is immediately retracted.
1. If part of the routine, predip the teats.
2. Premilk (strip) 2-3 milk jets from each teat
of all animals in the territory to check for
flocculation (clots), colour changes, or
other inconsistencies.
Note! Always keep abnormal milk separa-
ted. Examine the udder and if needed, take
a sample for analysis, in for example the
DeLaval cell counter DCC.
3. Clean the teats of the animal and stimulate
the udder.
Note! Make sure to remove all dirt and pre-
dip (if used). If wiping the teat ends, turn the
towel to use the clean side of the towel on
the teat end. Always use a clean towel for
each animal, and wipe nothing but the ani-
mal with the towel.
4. Verify that the animals are identified.
