Milking Clusters - The Flo-Star Max Claw & Magnum Flex 40 Liner Combo. Ultra-light - At only 1.7kg total cluster weight for reduced operator fatigue & increased cow comfort. Ultra-strong - Tested to withstand 3.2 tonne direct pressure making it stronger than most steel claws. 3-year warranty on the bowl. X-Crossed milk inlet design - Prevents splashing & speeds up milk flow through the bowl. High capacity - 340ml bowl eliminating flooding. Better design - Designed with front two milk inlets positioned wider than the two rear inlets to match the natural of shape of a cow udder allowing the cluster to hang squarely & reduce slippage. Short pulsation tubes are positioned on the inside of the liners, reducing the ability of the cow to catch the cluster & greatly reducing kick offs. Magnum Flex 40 Vented Liner - Ensures better cow comfort & faster milking. Vented liners give you 4 air intake points per cluster, increasing milk flow rate away from the teat end into the claw, reducing back splash onto the teat, reducing cross contamination & infections. Conclusion – Faster milking with overall cow & operator comfort improved by virtue of a lighter, more efficient cluster. Contact us for further details -
Swing Arms – Made from heavy duty stainless steel, it allows better cluster alignment nearer to the cow. Designed to carry cluster removers, with the stainless-steel milk & pulsation tubing built into the swing arm, giving a clear milking pit for the operator Contact us for further details -
Milk Receivers & Milk Pumps – Two types of receivers are available, vertical & horizontal. Horizontal models are more commonly used, with sight glasses each end & come complete with a sanitary trap. Designed with Vertical Side Milk Entry, the milk inlet is connected vertically along the side of receiver, allowing milk to enter & flow along the curve of the receiver avoiding splashing & foaming. Electric Centrifugal Milk Pumps with steel impellors are fitted as standard. Where a plate cooler is being used, a Variable Speed Drive Milk Pump may be fitted, to reduce the speed of the pump when milk levels are low in the receiver, to slow down milk flow through the plate cooler, optimising the effectiveness of a plate cooler & effectively reducing milk cooling costs. An Air Purge System is normally fitted to blow any milk left in milk line after milking into the tank before washing & to blow any water out of the milk line after washing before milking. All Welded Stainless-Steel Milk & Wash Lines are custom built without connectors where possible, to reduce potential dirt traps & increase cleanliness. Contact us for further details -

Dump Line Options :
Simple Stall Tap – This is the most basic option, where a vacuum line & a number of stall taps are fitted down along the pit to provide vacuum to a bucket plant unit for milking separately of a particular cow. Dump Line Toggle Switch – A toggle switch is fitted at each unit to divert milk from a problem cow into a dump line. Electronic Dump Line – A dump line control box with indicator lights is fitted to divert milk into a dump line. Indicator lights on the control box show clearly where milk is flowing reducing operator error. Combi Fast Dump Line System - Combi Fast cluster & pulsator units are supplied & hung at a station within the pit. Combi Fast dump line sockets are fitted every two units, along an independent dump line & vacuum line. Simply bring the Combi Fast cluster to a station nearest a problem cow, plug in the Combi Fast unit, milk the cow without any concerns about remembering to redirect that unit back to the bulk tank when finished.All dump lines are directed to their own receiver & milk pump, & are washed after each milking.

Cluster Flushing - A very effective system for reducing the spread of mastitis from cow to cow. With this system, the cluster is firstly rinsed with water, then flushed with water & peracetic acid, & finally, rinsed with compressed air to dry the cluster for the next cow. The system can be active on units on the machine or can be turned on & off at each individual unit. Contact us for further details -
