A metering device (Fig. 1) for indicating the ratio of vacuum to air impulses in a pulsation line of a milking-machine installation has two chambers 10A, 10B interconnected by a restriction 14, chamber 10A being connected to the pulsation line through another restriction 13, and a pressure-gauge 17 in communication with chamber 10B.

In a modification, Fig. 2, the restriction 14 is replaced by a non- return valve 21. Thus, as the pressure in chamber 10A falls, valve 21 opens, and the pressure in chamber 10B falls, but when the pressure in chamber 10A rises above that in chamber 10B, the valve 21 remains closed.

Oil dispenser for milking machine vacuum pump - has electric heater in oil supply container with vented suction pipe and oil supply capillary tube

The electric heater (2) positioned underneath the oil supply container (1) is controlled by a thermostat (3) and switched on at the same time as the vacuum pump for the miling-machine. A capillary tube (4) coiled in the bottom (1') of the container (1) sucks oil into the vacuum pump. In front of the capillary tube (4) is a ventilation-pipe (6) connected to the suction-pipe (5). Air is sucked into the suction pipe (5) by the ventilation-pipe (6) so that there is not a complete vacuum in the capillary pipe (4). When the vacuum pump is operating, lubricating oil is sucked out of the suction-pipe (5). When the ambient temp. is low, the lubricating-oil in the oil-container (1) is at first viscous so that it is not sucked in the suction pipe (5) through the capillary tube (4). When the heater (2) is switched on, the oil is warmed, and begins to flow through the capillary tube (4).

System and method for milking a group of dairy animals

A system for milking a group of animals, in particular cows, comprising an accommodation space in which the animals roam freely, and a plurality of fixed milking stations. A milk storage tank is placed outside the accommodation space. An automatic milking system for automated milking of the animals comprises at least one autonomous self-propelled trolley with milking cups. The milking system automatically connects the milking cups of the trolley to the teats of the animal. A milk discharge system connects the milking cups to the milk storage tank. The milk discharge system comprises flexible milk lines which are connected to the trolley. The trolley is connected to each milking station through a connection in an animal-free space adjacent to the milking stations. The flexible milk line is configured so the trolley can travel from the animal-free space into each of the milking stations while connected to the trolley.

Milking system with vacuum pump check

A milking system (1) has a plurality of milking devices (2-6) for milking dairy animals, a vacuum system for underpressure for milking and/or pulsation in the plurality of milking devices, and a control unit (14) for at least the vacuum system. The vacuum system comprises N vacuum pumps (11-13) of substantially identical capacity, with N > 3, and also a measuring device (10) which is operatively connected to the control unit in order to determine a value of at least one operating vacuum parameter of the vacuum system. The control unit is configured to perform the following steps in a test operation for the vacuum pumps: a) switching off said vacuum pump and switching on the other N-l vacuum pumps, b) determining the value of the operating vacuum parameter of the vacuum system, and c) determining, on the basis of the operating parameter values determined for each vacuum pump which has been switched off, if one of the vacuum pumps requires maintenance and also which vacuum pump requires said maintenance. If an operating parameter value, such as the flow rate, then changes by an excessive amount, the active or inactive vacuum pump requires maintenance or has to be replaced. In addition, a corresponding method is provided.
