Overview and details
The Recording Jar Milking System is a reliable solution for dairy farms that require individual milk yield monitoring during the milking process. In this system, milk from each cow is collected in a graduated recording jar before being transferred through the milk line to the main storage tank.
The transparent recording jar allows the operator to monitor the quantity and appearance of milk from each animal. This makes individual milk recording easier and also provides an opportunity to separate abnormal or unwanted milk before it enters the bulk milk tank.
Recording jars are designed with graduated markings for convenient milk yield reading. A properly designed system can provide effective production monitoring while maintaining an organized and efficient milking process.
When selecting a Recording Jar Milking System, important factors include jar capacity, equipment quality, vacuum system design, cleaning requirements, maintenance access, and compatibility with the overall milking parlor.
