AfiMilk MPC
Installation Manual
A nipple with air inlet
1mm in diameter should provide
air intake of 10 ± 1 LPM.
Air inlet nipple should be connected no closer than 50cm
from the water sucking port.
Hoses and connectors to set-up the test system
–
the
milking bucket should have an inlet port of 20mm or
more. Hence, the internal diameter of piping connecting
between milk meter and bucket must be at least 20mm.
Water pail
containing at least 20 liters water volume.
Electronic weighing scales
.

Testing the equipment
Prior to the water test, the equipment (sucking pipe and air inlet) needs to be tested
and confirmed for running the desired water flow rate for the test (4 ± 1 LPM) and for
precise air intake of the air hole (10 ± 1 LPM).
Testing the water flow
To test the sucking pipe, a
water flow gauge
is used.
When testing the equipment, the water flow gauge is
connected between the sucking pipe and air inlet nipple,
before the milk meter inlet. When the vacuum is opened,
water starts running through the system and the water flow is
read (as shown in picture on the right).
Once confirmed for flow rate in the range of 4 ± 1 liters per
minute, the water flow gauge is no longer used during the
actual water test.
