Equipment and water test preparation and description 

 

7.3.1.1.1

 

Equipment required 

For performing the AfiMilk MPC water test, the following 

equipment is used:   

Milking bucket

 

equipped with 7/8” inlet and 

vacuum ports 

Manual vacuum shut off valve

 placed between the milk line 

and the hose connected to the collection bucket. 

 

Suction pipe

 with an inlet hole of 3.5mm, which allows a 4 ± 1 LPM (Liter per Minute) 

flow of water.  The entire set should be 
tested and verified for the defined flow 
rate (see testing the equipment 
below). This part will replace the 
milking claw for the purpose of the 
test. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  

Make sure you work accurate with collecting all the data you need. 

 

This includes i.e. missing data due to missing cow identification, milk thru

 

the meter but not in the bulk tank and milk substraction out of bulk tank.
