Unique Setup & Configurations 

Individual Backflush 

The combination of individual backflush and vacuum control enables the function of 
flushing milking cups individually in Rotary/Tandem parlors, alongside “Smooth cluster 
removal” (Vacuum closed before retraction of the cluster) and Sweep.   

The sequence of events at the end of milking with backflush configured is illustrated 
below: 

 

Figure 13: Backflush Timing Chart 

 

Water and air valves are opened simultaneously, flushing the cluster with water and air. 
The duration of the water injection is determined by parameter 

. 

Air injection continues for 3 more seconds after the water injection is completed. Then, if 

air time is extended (

A1

 value) Air continues until its time expires.
