Milking parlors - "Herringbone", "Carousel", "Parallel". Arrangement of milking parlors

A properly equipped milking parlor is the key to the success of a dairy farm. Mechanization and automation of the milking process not only facilitates the work of farm employees, but also speeds up milk production, reduces the risk of injury to cows and significantly reduces the cost of the finished product. When organizing a milking parlor, you need to know several features of the process.

Organization of the milking parlor

Proper organization of the milking parlor begins with the purchase of equipment that will simplify the process of mechanical milking and milk collection. When choosing any equipment - milking machine, milk receiver, etc. - it is worth paying more attention to quality, safety of materials, speed and power, ease of use.

Milking parlors are most often equipped on medium and large cattle farms. For a farm with a small number of cows, the milking parlor is not so cost-effective.

It is possible to organize the work correctly only taking into account the following factors:

  • Hall power. Calculated based on the total number of cattle,
  • Room area. Must meet minimum requirements
  • Qualification of employees.

Of the mandatory requirements for the arrangement of the hall:

  • Availability of a reliable electric line,
  • Availability of good water supply.

How a milking parlor works

There are several types of milking parlors:

  • Carousel,
  • herringbone,
  • Tandem,
  • Parallel.

For all types of halls, the technology of milking cows and the milking machines used are the same.

Usually, cows are brought in groups to the milking parlour, selecting animals similar in terms of milk production. Cows occupy separate boxes and are fixed in them. The operator attaches the teats of the milking machine to the udder, which both milk the cow and turns on the machine. A special sensitivity program allows the cluster to detach from the udder automatically as soon as the milk collection is finished. After that, the door of the box opens and the cow leaves the stall. Then the next group starts.

Necessary equipment

Mandatory equipment for the milking parlor is:

  • Dairy post with control panel for the operator,
  • Milk receiver,
  • Milking machine,
  • vacuum pumps,
  • milk pipeline,
  • Cleaning system.

Milking machine control

The dairy post allows you to monitor the milking process and take into account the milk yield from each cow. The control apparatus is also responsible for the vacuum, transportation of milk through the pipeline, power supply and water supply. Most often, the milking machine is connected to the milk pipeline, but for milking cows with a difficult character, it is better to provide for the placement of a bucket under the teats of the machine. Mandatory washing of all systems of the milking machine occurs automatically before and after milking cows. For this purpose, a water heating system is built into the complex to the desired temperature.

Hall type "Carousel"

Milking parlors "Carousel" are more efficient on large farms, designed for livestock of thousands of cows. The capacity of such a hall is one hundred animals per hour. The platform with the equipment placed on it and the operator is built on the principle of a rotating rotor. There are two types of Carousel milking parlour.

Hall Malaya Karusel

The scheme of the first design provides for the placement of stalls for cows in the center of the platform, and the operator and equipment - outside. Milking parlors of the second type are distinguished by the fact that the stalls are located on the outside, and the staff and equipment are located in the center. The control panel controls the start and end of milking. The speed of movement of the cows is adjusted depending on the speed of the return of milk. If the milking of one of the cows is over, the operator can reduce the speed or stop the entire process.

The advantage of the Carousel Hall is its high throughput.

Hall Bolshaya Karusel - the operator works from the inside

It is ensured by a continuous milking process and ease of maintenance. The rotating unit also takes up less space. Milking cows on the carousel is more relaxed thanks to the built-in soundproofing system. A noise reduction device is installed on the vacuum pumps. Milking parlors "Karusel" have comfortable and safe stalls made of galvanized steel and can be additionally equipped with automatic feed or water supply.

Hall type "Herringbone"

The layout of the “Herringbone” milking parlors is distinguished by the parallel arrangement of cows for cows on both sides of the passage. Each machine consists of ten boxes located at an angle of 30 degrees to the aisle. The stalls are made of galvanized pipes, and stainless steel is used for the manufacture of working passages.

The control module consists of:

  • milking cups,
  • Milking machine shutdown systems,
  • milk yield counter,
  • electromagnetic pulsator.

"Herringbone" is equipped with a working display, which displays the cow number and the amount of milk in real time. The cow number is read by the identification system from the collar or tag. The operator can also enter the number himself. The operating mode of the pulsator is set automatically for each cow, depending on the rate of milk ejection. The Herringbone kit also includes a milk receiver, an equipment washing system and three units, each of which has vacuum pumps. The automatic udder washing system includes an electric water heater, a pipeline and a water sprinkler in the form of a pistol. There is also a system for removing waste after washing the trench and cleaning the entire hall.

Hall type "Tandem"

The scheme of the milking parlor "Tandem" differs from the "Herringbone" in a wider front of milking. Cow stalls are arranged one behind the other parallel to the central aisle. Each box has a separate gate through which the cow enters the box. Milking machines "Tandem" have their advantages:

  • Quick placement of cows in boxes,
  • Possibility to see the animal
  • Milking equipment is able to detect mastitis inclusions in cows.

Today, Tandem mobile halls for cattle are more popular. They consist of a mobile milk pipeline platform.

You can use the mobile hall even on pastures with paddocks, as well as on farms where cows are tethered.

The platform is designed for six boxes with feeders. The equipment includes vacuum pumps, a milk receiver and a milk pipeline. pipeline and flexible hoses for flushing the system. The platform can be raised or lowered by means of jacks and is adjustable to the height of the box, which facilitates the work of the operator. The automatic udder wash system is activated before and after milking.

Another advantage of such a hall is the covering of the platform. It is durable, easy to clean, does not retain moisture and odors. The platform is mounted on four wheels, and the roof of the device is made of corrugated metal-plastic.

Hall type "Parallel"

The layout of the Parallel hall is very simple and is most often used on small and medium-sized farms. The stalls are arranged in two parallel rows, between which there is a passage and an operator console. The maximum number of boxes for cows in one row is no more than 14. Most often, cows are milked in groups, selected according to their milk yield and milk release rate. In the stalls, the udders of cows are washed and the nipples of the milking machine are put on. After milking is completed, the udder is processed again and the cows are released through the rotating gate.

  • The practice of using the "Parallel" hall shows that it is more efficient to milk high-yielding cows first and only at the end - young and slow-milking ones. The milking system allows you to keep an individual record of milk from each cow and the entire group.
  • Hall "Parallel" has a fairly high throughput, as it has a wide exit area. Placing cows in close proximity to each other saves floor space.
  • In the halls "Parallel" the stall is located at a right angle to the operator. The main advantage of the Parallel Hall is its compactness and ease of maintenance. The minimum floor space for milking boxes is 55 sq.m. This is enough to serve a herd of 100-200 heads.

Standard equipment "Parallel":

  • stall structures,
  • vacuum pumps,
  • Automatic three-stroke milking machine,
  • Milk pipeline connected to the milk receiver,
  • Washing system.

Conveyor-ring milking machines ("Carousels") are designed for machine milking of cows on dairy farms with a population of 300 to 2000 cows.

The use of these installations makes it possible to introduce completely new forms of the technological process of milking cows, organizing and dividing labor of workers in a dairy farm: each operator performs only one group of operations (washing the udder, connecting milking cups, machine milking, removing milking cups from the animal's udder, etc.). and he does not need to waste time on transitions.

On conveyor-ring installations, the cow enters the machine and leaves it after a strictly defined time, depending on the speed of rotation of the platform. As a result, all technological operations are performed with a certain rhythm, typical for industrial enterprises. The design of conveyor-ring installations made it possible to automate many operations of machine milking of cows.

The "Carousel" installations used on dairy farms in the country differ from each other mainly in the number of milking machines (sizes), i.e., productivity. The compactness of the "Carousels" allows them to be mounted in any building with spans between supports of at least 6 m.

An annular platform with milking machines is located in the milking parlour, around which are located the premises of auxiliary services.

To the platform from two sides (when servicing dairy herds located in two barns on both sides of the milking parlor) there are corridors divided along into two passages. On one side of the corridor, the cows go to the moving platform, on the other side they leave the hall after milking.

Carousels are supplied in two types: M-690-16 with sixteen tandem milking machines M-691-40 with 40 herringbone machines.

The machines are equipped with the "Physiomatic" system, which provides mechanical excitation of the milk ejection reflex and automatic shutdown of the milking machines at the end of milking. Washing and disinfection of all parts of the installation that come into contact with milk, including milking machines and recorders, are carried out by an automated circulation system with program control. The feeding of animals with concentrates in accordance with their productivity has also been automated. Manure at the installation falls through the slots of the platform into the chute, from where it is raked with a special brush into a gravity channel. The time of one turn of the Carousel can be adjusted from 6.5 to 18 minutes.

The device of the milking machine M-691-40 "Carousel" is shown in fig. 34. On the installation ring, 40 pens are placed in a herringbone pattern, each of which has a feeder and a device for fixing a cow. The floor in the machines is slatted. At the entrance of cows to the machines of the milking plant, there is a feed dispenser with a control panel.

Rice. 34. Scheme of the milking machine M-691-40 "Carousel": 1 - passages for the entry and exit of cows, 2 - feed storage, 3 - feed dispenser, 4 - sanitary unit, 5 - washing machine, 6 - control panel, 7 - beam - boom, 8 - milk collectors (recorders), 9 - feeders, 10 - machine tools, 11 - electric drive, 12 - milk receiving, 13 - utility room, 14 - vacuum pumping, 15 - electrical distribution, 16 - refrigeration unit

From the inside of the ring on the fence of the machines there is milking equipment. On top of the diameter of the carrier ring, on the beam-boom, a current collector, pipelines for milk, vacuum, compressed air and an air separator (releaser) are mounted. The installation ring is driven by a DC motor, which allows you to change the direction of rotation and adjust its speed. The optimal time for one turn of the Carousel is 10-13 minutes.

Through a special coupling, air is pumped out by vacuum pumps from the rotating part of the "Carousel" vacuum system, which consists of an annular vacuum line and a combined vacuum-washing pipeline, through which a washing solution circulates during washing. The air is sucked out from the interwall and suction cup spaces of the teat cups. Milk collectors are calibrated to account for milk from each cow and are equipped with a device for taking milk samples.

Every 10 recorders are connected with hoses covered with clamps to one of the four branches of the milk pipeline, from where milk enters the milk collector of the air separator (releaser) and is sent to the cooler with the help of a pump. The clips of the recorders can take three positions: the middle one - when washing, the right one - during milking and the left one - when sucking milk.

Before entering the milking parlor, the milkmaid (operator), using a sprinkler, washes the udder with warm water and lets the cow into the milking machine.

The second milkmaid (operator) wipes the udder of the cow that entered the machine, gently massages it, squeezes the first streams of milk from each nipple into a separate mug and puts milking cups on the nipples. The third milkmaid supervises the milking, makes the final massage, performs machine milking and removes the cups from the udder teats. The milked cow leaves the barn and passes along the corridor to a special room.

The feeder of the freed pen is filled with food, then the next animal enters the pen, and the process is repeated.

The entrance and exit of cows from the milking machines are located in one place. Here is also the central passage for the driver; the worker who releases the cows can drive a stray cow.

In the interval between milkings, the milking equipment is in the "washing" position.

Before milking, by turning on the first washing program, the milk line of the milking machine is disinfected. The execution of the program is controlled by signal lamps on the control panel.

As soon as the disinfectant solution begins to drain, it is necessary to close the manual valve between the water mixer solenoid valve and the milk line so that in the event of a valve failure, no water enters the milk line. Then the milking machines are removed from the distribution plates, the recorder clamp is set to the "milking" position and, by turning the handle of the three-way valve on the "boom", the vacuum-flushing pipeline is separated from the flushing pipeline, thereby connecting it to the vacuum system.

To remove residual disinfectant solution from the milk ducts of the installation, open the cone valve of the device collector and at the same time put the recorder clamp in the "suction" position, then open the cone valve and the recorder clamp of the next device. No more than three devices should be in the "suction" position. The valve of the collector of the previous device is closed and the clamp is returned to the "milking" position when the liquid is completely sucked out of the next device and the recorder. This operation starts simultaneously on both sides of the vacuum gauge and ends at the "boom". Similarly drain the second half of the milk line. The washing solution from the milk pipeline connecting the milking machine to the dairy department is displaced by the first portions of milk (milk is separated from water by a sponge rubber ball).

The milking machine is controlled from a central console located in the center of the Carousel.

System "Physiomatic" three-mode, works as follows. After preparing the udder for milking, the machine is removed from the hook 16 (Fig. 35), the switch 17 turns on the electronic control unit 3, which sends a signal to the pulsator control unit 9 and the push-button signal panel 10, where the green light 11 lights up. The pulsator control unit 9 turns on the electromagnetic push-pull pulsator 7. Thanks to the “recorder”, a constant vacuum is created in the nipple spaces of the cups, and a variable vacuum is created in the interstitial spaces, alternating with atmospheric pressure at a frequency of 45-50 double pulses per minute. This period, according to the program, lasts 20 seconds, during which the milkmaid (machine milking master) must put the cups on the udder teats. After the specified time has elapsed, the yellow light 12 lights up on the signal panel. The pulsator control unit 9 turns on the magnetic valve 6, as a result of which compressed air is periodically supplied to the interwall chambers of the milking cups during the compression stroke instead of atmospheric air, massaging the udder teats (first mode ). At the end of the massage on the signal board, the yellow light 12 goes out, and the green light 11 continues to light, indicating that the device is operating in normal mode (second mode).


Rice. 35. Scheme of the Physiomatic system: 1 - vacuum pump, 2 - compressor, 3 - control unit, 4 and 6 - fittings, 6, 7 and 8 - electromagnetic valves, 9 - pulsator control unit, 10 - push-button signal panel, 11, 12 and 13 - green, yellow and red signal lights, 14 - button, 15 and 21 - hoses, 16 - hook-switch for the hanging part of the machine, 17 - switch, 18 - milk collector, 19 - milk flow sensor, 20 - device manifold, 22 and 23 - interwall and nipple spaces of the glass

After 60 seconds of operation of the machine, the sensor 19 is switched on. In the process of milking, no signals are sent to the sensor's photocell, since the flow of milk flowing through the milk hose blocks the light from the lamp.

As soon as milking stops, the light from the lamp hits the photocell, and after 4 s the pulsator turns off on the compression stroke. Atmospheric air enters the interwall spaces of the cups of the machine, and a constant vacuum remains in the cups: at the same time, the rubber compresses the teats (third mode), the milking machine continues to be held on the teats of the udder.

On the panel 10, the green light goes out and the red light 13 lights up, signaling the immediate completion of machine milking. The milkmaid presses the button 14, turns off the automation, turns on the two-stroke electromagnetic pulsator and performs milking.

During milking, the red light goes out and the milking unit operates in normal mode (second mode). After machine milking, by turning the locking cone of the collector, the milk hose is closed, the glasses are removed and hung on hook 16.

The milkmaid should carefully monitor the change of light signals. If the red light comes on at the beginning or in the middle of milking, it is necessary to find out the cause of the delay in milk flow and eliminate it. As soon as the red light comes on, you must immediately start machine milking, otherwise the blood circulation in the nipple will be disturbed.

The technical characteristics of the installation are given in Table. 6.

The higher the milk yield of cows on the farm, the better should be the conditions for their maintenance, milking and feeding. After all, even the slightest stressful situation affects productivity indicators, and Karusel milking parlors help to provide optimal conditions for both animals and people.

Milking parlors "Karusel" provides in its use such important aspects for each farm as a comfortable workplace for the milker, a good position for the animal, high-quality and speedy milking, reliability and durability, low maintenance and operation costs.

The speed of the milking parlor "Carousel" can be changed both automatically and manually. This is determined by various parameters, for example, the time of processing the udder by one operator and putting on the apparatus by another, the rate of cow's milk yield, the speed of movement of animals. The milker is located inside or outside the platform and, standing still, performs his work. There is no empty milking - the machine turns off automatically, while the cow, meanwhile, calmly waits for the exit from the platform. The most optimal use of the Karusel milking parlor is in large farms: three specialists can milk milk from 1000 heads in just 4 hours! The process is continuous and resembles a factory assembly line.

Veterinarians can control milking, because all information about the process enters the computer system in real time. If a cow has mastitis, she will be milked in a separate tank, thus avoiding mixing sick milk with healthy milk. In the future, computer data can be used to improve the reproduction process.

In 2009, the Karusel milking parlor for 48 heads was installed at Rabititsy Breeding Plant CJSC. The farm receives about 80% of its income from dairy farming. Every day, with the help of the Karusel milking parlor, the farm receives about 30 tons of milk.

In the process of reconstruction of the complex of CJSC "Imeni Ilyich", Krasnodar Territory, the installation of the milking parlor "Karusel" was carried out in the first place. This is primarily due to the positive experience of Kuban farms, in which more than 10 such milking parlors have already been installed.

Before purchasing a milking parlour, consideration should be given to building layout, group sizes, number of operators per shift, shift length, etc. on the farm "Suvorov" (Kuban), "Karusel" for 34 places was chosen based on the calculations of the livestock and the required number of cattle places. Of the 1.2 thousand cows on this farm, 960 are milked twice a day. In the 34-seat milking parlor, 7-8 cows are served per hour at one place.
