DairyMaster · Vacuum and pulsation
Vacuum System
DairyMaster vacuum lines, regulation and pulsation matched to simultaneous clusters and washing demand.
Quick decision
Is this solution right for your farm?
Consider it when
Parlours requiring stable vacuum under milking and washing loads
We clarify before quoting
Herd size, operating zone and housing method, daily load, dimensions and routes, water, power, cleaning and service.
Another solution may be better when
Animal group, layout, capacity, operating method or site utilities differ.
Best suited for
Parlours requiring stable vacuum under milking and washing loads
Capabilities and controlled parameters
- Capacity is calculated from cluster count and load scenarios
- Routing and diameter affect loss and stability
- Regulators and reserve capacity are selected for the project
- Pulsation is part of the complete milking setup
- Operating parameters are verified at commissioning
- Service includes leaks, pumps, filters and settings
Vacuum System: stability matters more than nominal pump power
Design covers simultaneous clusters, pulsation, washing, line losses, reserve and system response to changing load.
Calculation
- cluster count and start sequence
- line length, diameter and layout
- peak washing load
- reserve for leaks and operations
Control
- working-vacuum stability
- response during cluster attachment
- pulsation condition
- noise and energy demand
Service
- leak testing and line inspection
- pump and regulator maintenance
- safety and emergency-mode checks
- periodic parameter measurement
Vacuum quality cannot be confirmed without measurements. In a retrofit, existing lines are tested under load rather than assessed visually.
Components and integration
LabLog
Implementation considerations
The final parlour configuration depends on milking herd size, milking frequency, group size, shift duration, building layout, collecting yard, operators, water, power and milk cooling. LabLog starts with an engineering brief and never defines throughput from stall count alone.
How LabLog supports the project
- 01Capture herd, group and milking-routine data
- 02Review the building plan, collecting yard and cow routes
- 03Calculate parlour type, stall count and operating cycle
- 04Coordinate milk, vacuum, washing and cooling systems
- 05Configure automation, installation, commissioning, training and service parts
