| Cold
water will be filled into the wash trough via an electronic solenoid.
When the water has filled the trough, the vacuum pumps, air injection
and pulsation system will start up. The initial rinse water is sent
around the parlour and out to the drain. (Tempered water can also
be used if programmed) |
After
the initial rinse the plant will shut down, whilst the hot water is
being filled in the wash trough, when the desired amount has been
reached the plant will start up again.
The first few gallons of hot water will be circulated and dumped down
the drain. Then the remainder will be circulated to ensure that the
plant has reached the maximum tempreture, at this point more hot water
is added together with the detergent liquid. (This process enables
the water to stay at a higher temperature whilst using the minimum
amount of detergent. After the required amount of circulation time
has expired, the system will dump the liquid down the drain, and the
plant will shut down. |
| The
cold and the hot water can be used to fill the wash trough, with a
choice of chemicals such as acid or hypo-chlorite, for the final rinse.
The plant again restarts when the trough has filled to the correct
level; the solution is then circulated and dumped down the drain. |
|
The
plant will then shut down until the next Milking

Cold
Wash Option A clod wash option is available for farmers who only hot
wash once a day.
Periodically
removing milk stone The hypo rinse can be replaced with an acid rinse
to remove any build up of milk-stone
Pre
Sanitizing the pipe line The system can be set to the final rinse
and run say for 1 hour before milking to remove any bacterial build up.
