Functioning of the Automatic Calf Feeder
6 Functioning of the Automatic Calf Feeder
6.1 Preparing the Milk Portions
The warm water is taken from the boiler of the heat exchanger. The milk pump delivers the
milk through the stainless steel coil of the heat exchanger into the mixer jar.
The circulation pump (not available on model TAK5--SM2--27--F1) keeps the warm boiler
water moving at high speed causing a rapid heat transfer to the liquid inside the stainless
steel coil.
In case no calf claims its milk portion 2 minutes after the last portion has been distributed,
the circulation pump switches off automatically. The pump switches on automatically every
15 minutes for 60 seconds or in case a calf claims its milk portion or when the calibration
or a cleaning process is carried out.
When the liquid jet hits the supply electrode located at the water--/milk outlet, a pre--set
milk powder portion falls from the powder hopper into the mixer jar where it is mixed with
the liquid.
The mixer is connected via a box valve to the sucking station by means of a suction hose.
The milk runs through the suction hose to the teat in the sucking station.
You can interrupt the preparation of a feeding portion at any time by pressing the
„Automatic“, „Cleaning“, „Menu“ or „Enter“ key.
6.2 Distributing the Milk
6.2.1 In the Restricted Mode
The rod (level) electrode is free:
When an animal with drinking right enters the feeding box and is identified, the automatic
calf feeder prepares a milk portion as soon as the mixer jar is empty. The milk in the mixer
jar grounds the rod electrode. When the calf has drunk the milk, the rod electrode is free
again and the machine starts preparing the next portion in case the calf has still drinking
right.
The rod (level) electrode is covered:
When an animal with drinking right enters the feeding box and is identified, the remaining
portion in the mixer is stirred. After the calf has drunk the remaining portion, i.e. the mixer
jar is empty and the rod electrode is free again, the automatic calf feeder starts preparing the
next portion.
Two sucking stations:
When an animal with drinking right is identified, the relevant suction line opens. When the
animal has no drinking right anymore, the suction line closes as soon as the rod electrode is
free again and the entered draining time has lapsed. When the rod electrode is still covered,
the suction line will close after approx. 2 minutes.
