Teat cup liners:
Always replace the teat cup liners on time.
Each teat cup liner can be used for a number of milkings, depending on the manufacturer and model type (type
"Silicone 7500 milkings"). The menu Milking > Lely Astronaut of the X-pert programme (figure 5.12) displays the
number of milkings per day. The menu option shown below (figure 6.11) represents the same in T4C.
Example:
According to the manufacturer the teat liners can be utilized for approx. 7500 milkings. Per day a series of 150
milkings is carried out by the robot.
Estimate:
NOTE
• The teat liners must be replaced at least every 8 to 10 weeks.
