4-8 Description and Operation

innovators in agriculture
As defined by local regulations each milking system can have a filter, a
twin filter (if more than one robot is installed) or no filter at all. A filter
is installed in the milk line between the milk jar and the milk storage
tank. A twin filter is installed in the tank room.
If a filter is installed it must be cleaned before a main cleaning
(according to EU hygiene regulations). This makes sure a main cleaning
is not done with a dirty filter installed. A non-return valve is installed
upstream of the filter to prevent milk flowing out of the milk delivery
line when the filter is replaced. A system with more than one robot
always contains more than one milk filter.
Milk separation system
The milk separation system (2, fig. 5,
page 4-8) is used to:
• Prevent milk with inferior quality like colostrum milk, penicillin milk,
colored milk or milk with a very high conductivity, to reach the milk
storage tank
• Separate fresh milk to feed young calves.
Milk can be directed to one or more of the four M4Use buckets if it has
to be used or to the sewer.
The M4Use (1) can store up to four different milkings in four buckets
under a tray with four taps that can be attached to the wall, the taps are
controlled with air pressure valves. The M4Use system is installed up to
5 m from the ASTRONAUT A3 Next.
