4 Guideline for correct sampling
Handling of the Shuttle
Maximum slope of the floor where the SHUTTLE is installed: 3° If not the level is to high detection full sample bottle.
Floor level where the SHUTTLE is installed: 36 cm-150 cm below the 5-kg level of the milk jar.
Do not move the Shuttle during sampling. Close all caps of the vials before moving. A small drop spilled on the edge of the vail
can have big influence on the fat percentage.
Operating of Shuttle / Robot
Use operator manual the operator manual chapter
Clean the measuring pins of the fill head before sampling with a decreaser, like Astri-TDS.
Check correct function of fill head Shuttle XY. Milk of previous cow is flushed passing the fill head passing the loop to the
antenna and must not flow back into the sample bottle. Little backflow is allowed, approx. 2 cm backflow during filling of the
vial.
Vails must not be filled untill the top, about 0.5 cm of air is required for good mixing preservative and fat content in labrotory
Always check sharp bend in sample tubing. This can block the flow.
During end mixing (bubbling) the vacuum level should be reaching 48 kPa for at least 10 sec.
Check water leakage on top of the milkjar during 1 milking, some drops are allowed
End of sampling the milk must complely pumped away. No milk remainings are alowed, this will influence next sample. The
influence of milk foam is allowed.
Correct Settings
Type of Rack = Shuttle XY, Fill time = 30 seconds
Air pressure Shutt-off sleeves Air pressure setting at 2.0 bar. Should not leak (to be tested)
Check CU settings for optimal performance during cleaning (lely wash):
o Air pressure setting = min. 6.2bar
o Air pressure Blow empty = 4 bar
o Water pressure reducer setting = installation manual A3 A4 2 – 4 bar
Trouble shooting can be found in the operator manual chapter 8 and make use of the trouble shooting card
