Twin Distribution tubes (Black & Grey /Blue)
- Routing of the distribution tubes (E) will depend on the parlour
design and can be either at high level, or low level. In order to ensure efficient operation of the foaming
applicators route the distribution line so it is as short as possible.
Fig. 2 –TWIN TUBE FIXING BRACKETS – ASSEMBLY/FIXING
Distribution tubes can be routed
at high level, along the centre of
the parlour, or at low level
beneath the cow standing kerb.
Twin Tube Fixing Brackets
(
J
) are
supplied and used to secure the
main distribution tubing to
suitable stallwork, using a single
cable tie (
K
) around the tube to
clamp the two halves of the
brackets together (see Fig. 2).
Alternatively, these Fixing
Brackets may be affixed to a flat
surface using a suitable screw (not
supplied) through the central hole.
T-pieces (F) and other distribution line fittings
are "push-in" and can be released by holding the flange in and
pulling out the tubing – see diagrams fig. 4 – it is important that tubes are pushed fully into fittings as otherwise
air (or liquid) will leak out from the tube/fitting.
Foam Applicators
should be positioned such that all milking points can be reached comfortably without over-
stretching the coils. Extension kits are available to enable as many Applicators as may be required to be
installed.
WARNING: Do NOT over-stretch the coils
, as this will place undue strain on the tubing and may result in the
connectors, or manifold, leaking or becoming damaged. It is therefore NOT recommended to allow the
applicator to hang from the coil when not in use, as this will result in over-stretching of the coil and possible
damage to the applicator through contact with the floor.
