4.8 MILK DELIVERY LINE AND TANK AREA
4.8.1 Milk delivery line
A milk delivery line is fitted (figure 4.18) between the
milking robot and the milk tank. The milk delivery line
consists of a pressure pipeline, which is why it should be
made out of one piece whenever possible. Another
reason for a one piece construction is the risk of
couplings in a pipeline in terms of cleanliness.
If the pipeline length exceeds 20 meters, it should be
insulated. It is imperative that the temperature of the
cleaning water is still high enough at the end of the
delivery line.
The end of the pressure pipe at the milk tank is fitted with
a three-way valve. The milk can only flow into the tank if
the valve is CRS+ controlled (see section 4.3 ’GENERAL
DESCRIPTION OF THE CRS+’.
If this is not the case, the milk will flow to the drain or
another pipeline. In case of a failure in the control
system, water containing a cleaning agent cannot enter
the milk tank.
The milking robot is equipped as standard with a milk
filter (figure 4.19) in the milk delivery line. A system of
more than one robot contains a number of milk filters. A
non-return valve is installed behind the filter to prevent
milk from flowing out of the delivery line when the filter
is changed.
