Usage Process of Milk Collector

Industrial milk collectors are primarily used in the livestock industry, especially in large dairy farms, to efficiently collect milk from animals. These devices are generally more complex than household breast pumps, with a greater emphasis on hygiene standards, operational efficiency, and animal comfort. Below is the basic usage procedure for an industrial milk collector:

Preparation Stage

1. Equipment Inspection: Before each use, inspect all components of the milk collector to ensure they are intact and free from damage or leaks. Pay particular attention to critical parts such as pipes, valves, and seals.
2. Cleaning and Disinfection: According to the manufacturer's guidelines, thoroughly clean and disinfect the milk collector to ensure its hygiene and safety.
3. Installation and Connection: Assemble and connect all parts of the milk collector correctly, ensuring that all tubes are tightly connected to prevent air from entering and affecting the suction effect.

Operation Stage

1. Pre-warming the Udder: Massage and pre-warm the animal's udder appropriately to promote milk secretion and improve milking efficiency.
2. Placing the Teat Cups: Gently place the teat cups on the animal's udder, ensuring that each teat is correctly positioned within the teat cups.
3. Starting the Machine: Turn on the milk collector and adjust the vacuum level and pulsation frequency to suit the needs of different animals.
4. Monitoring the Process: Throughout the milking process, the operator should continuously observe the animal's condition and the operation of the milk collector to ensure everything is running smoothly.
5. Completing Milking: When the milk flow is observed to have significantly decreased, turn off the milk collector and carefully remove the teat cups to avoid injuring the animal.

Post-Processing

1. Post-Care: Provide necessary post-care for the animal, such as cleaning the udder again.
2. Milk Handling: Promptly cool and store the collected milk, or send it to the processing stage.
3. Equipment Maintenance: After use, immediately perform a thorough cleaning and disinfection of the milk collector to prepare for the next use.

The above is the general usage procedure for an industrial milk collector. Specific operations should be carried out according to the user manual of the specific model.
