Main Cleaning
During a main cleaning, the following messages are displayed on the Tab [
Process] in the frame Cleaning:
• On the first line:
- The status is: 'Cluster cleaning'.
• On the second line:
- The status is: 'Milk cup flush'
- The status is: 'Blow empty milk'
- The status is: 'Pre rinse'
- The status is: 'Main wash'
- The status is: 'Post rinse'
- The status is: 'Blow empty water'
- The status is: 'Dry milk line'.
• On the third line:
2. The status is: 'Astri
®
-lin' or 'Astri
®
-cid' or 'Astri
®
-lin'..
Pre and post rinsing are almost identical to short rinsing, with the exception that in case of pre or post rinsing
the milk delivery line is rinsed as well. The main cleaning is done by pumping boiling water that contains a
lye-based or acidic cleaning agent (Astri®-lin or Astri®-cid) through the milking installation and the milk delivery
line.
If there are several milking robots connected to one milk delivery line, the cleaning programme of the different
robots is started simultaneously.
Filters
As defined by local regulations each milking robot can have a filter, a twin filter (if more than one robot is
installed) or no filter at all.
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 changed. A system with more than
one robot always contains more than one milk filter.
Twin Filter
Use of an automatic twin filter system makes sure a hot cleaning automatically starts with a new filter.
4.2.5 Alarm System
Alarms are indicated by:
• A sound
• An LED on the CRS+ Panel
• Text on the X-link display.
Some alarms will generate a phone call. This depends on the CRS+ settings.
