6.5 Positioning of the Portable iMilk401 during milking
A fixed part on the milking line needs to be installed in the milking area every two animals and it is advisable
for a Portable iMilk401 to be used every 5 fixed stations for approximately 2 hours of milking. If you wish to
speed up milking, it is necessary to increase the number of Portable iMilk401 in relation to the number of
fixed parts.
For proper operation of the Portable iMilk401 device, it is normally clamped on the milk tube between one
animal and the next in correspondence with the fixed parts. If the system is on tracks, the Portable iMilk401
must be left on the tracks between one animal and another.
CAUTION
During milking, ensure that:
The system is vertical and is not pulled in a sloping position by the animal. If the
system works in a sloping position, it may experience accuracy problems when
reading the quantity of milk obtained in milking.
The useful length of the rope in the removal phase is 123cm (48.42 in). If, due to the
system structure, the animals are too far away with respect to the position of the
Portable iMilk401 so that the Portable iMilk401 is milking in a sloping position, the
system engineer must adapt the Portable iMilk401 supports so that the system works
in a vertical position
WARNING:
The Portable iMilk401 is designed with a quick coupling system to the tubing to facilitate
milking, and is designed to withstand accidental falls; if such falls occur frequently (e.g. with
every milking due to the animals causing the cluster to release from the support system), the
system may be exposed to damage. It is the engineer's task to check that the system is not
often knocked to the ground by the animal and, if necessary, to prevent the animal from
doing so.
