ACR-3 XP
The ACR-3 XP brings unparalleled technology and features within reach of every dairy farmer. The system is not simply a labor saving device it more importantly monitors individual cow milkings and initiates removal of the cluster at the completion of every milking day after day.
The system has the unique feature of auto initiation which is achieved by simply lifting the cluster slightly. This action automatically turns the unit on and releases the cluster for attaching to the udder. A vacuum on delay timer is built into the ACR-3 XP to prevent excessive vacuum entering the milking system between the unit switching on and being attached to the udder.
Once the cluster is attached to the cow milk flow from the cow is monitored and if during milking the cluster is kicked off a warning light alerts the operator that the cow has not finished being milked. At the end of milking vacuum is switched off to the cluster and the claw is allowed to vent before it is removed from the udder. This important feature ensures that the udder is not damaged by ripping clusters off udder full vacuum.
After the removal process is completed a milk sweep feature can be activated automatically to remove residue milk left in the cluster.
MILKA-WARE CLUSTER MANAGER
THE PERFECT PARTNER FOR EVERY DAIRYFARMER
The Milka-Ware Cluster Manager saves you time and money by assisting you milk your herd more efficiently and productively. Installed in any type of dairy the Cluster Manager will monitor the milk flow from each cow, determine end of milking and then initiate cluster removal.
Activating the Cluster Manager is a simple push of a button with the standard model or with the AI model simply lift the cluster to initiate the system. This optional feature allows the operator to have both hands free
and concentrate on correct cluster attachment. There is even a delay time with switching the vacuum to the cluster when the Cluster Manager is initiated to prevent
excess vacuum entering the cluster before it is attached.
Once the cluster is attached the Cluster Manager activates initial milk flow monitoring however if the cow fails to start milking it alerts the operator that there is a problem with that cow and it needs to be checked.
During the milking process the Cluster Manager accesses each cow’s milk flow to correctly identify end of milk flow. When this point is reached the Cluster Manager switches the vacuum to the cluster off and
waits for the vacuum in the cluster to vent to atmospheric pressure. As the cluster starts to drop vacuum is applied to the ram to gently lift the cluster away from the cow and position it ready for attachment to the next cow.
