4.2.4 Cleaning System
Clean and hygienic operation of the robot is essential for production of high quality milk. The milking robot
starts cleaning automatically at set intervals. The cleaning can vary from a rinse of the teat cup tops to an acid
or detergent cleaning. If the milking robot is not used for a long period, the system is rinsed with water.
The CRS+ controls the cleaning system.
After milking a cow whose milk is separated, the milking system is always rinsed with water at a temperature of
40 °C (104 °F). This keeps the milk lines free from colostrum or penicillin residues.
After cleaning operations, the milking robot automatically opens the entry gate so milking can continue.
