Electric Milking PipeLine System

Modern technology used in dairy farming to automate the milking process includes electric milking pipeline systems. It is made up of a system of pipes, vacuum pumps, and milking equipment that streamlines and effectively handles the simultaneous milking of numerous cows.

The system normally operates as follows:

• Each cow in the milking parlour has a milking unit, which is an apparatus fastened to the cow's udder. The milking apparatus comprises of teat cups that are positioned on the cow's teats.
• Vacuum system: An electric vacuum pump powers the pipeline system. This pump generates a vacuum or negative pressure that encourages milk flow and enables milk to be drawn out of the cow's udder.
• Milk Transportation: A system of pipes connects the milking units, which then carries the cow's milk to a central collection location. These pipes are composed of materials suitable for use in food and have been created to be simple to clean and sanitise.
• Receiving Milk: The milk is put into a bulk tank or other storage container at the time of collection. To maintain the milk's quality until it is further processed or transported, this tank often incorporates a refrigeration system.
• Automation and Control: A central computer or programmable logic controller (PLC) is frequently used to automate and control the electric milking pipeline system. The automation system controls vacuum levels, milk flow rates, and parameters related to cow health in addition to controlling the scheduling and sequencing of milking.
