Before buying a milking unit, pay attention to the key characteristics:
collector volume. It happens from 100 to 250 ml. Milk flows down it from the tubes. The more animals are connected for simultaneous milking, the more capacious the collector should be.
The material of the tank and glasses. It is either plastic or metal.Aluminum or steel structures are more durable, and also create the right load on the teat (up to 2.5 kg), which is important for proper milking.
Nipple rubber. Available in rubber or silicone. The first is cheaper, but roughens and cracks faster. The second is softer and more durable.
Bucket volume. Occurs from 4 to 50 liters. Focus on the number of animals and one-time milk yield. For example, one cow on average gives 6-9 liters of milk at a time.
Pulsor type. The device regulates the supply of vacuum from the pump. Synchronous influences immediately on 4 nipples, and pairwise - on 2 (imitation of manual milking). The latter option is better for thoroughbred cows that give more milk. Then the collector will not overflow.
Pulsation speed. The characteristic is possible from 45 to 75 RR/min. Affects performance, but too high indicators will not allow milk to have time to accumulate. The optimal parameter is 60-65 pulses per minute.
