If you have a problem of teat and udder erosion in your herd
chances are you are milking with unstable vacuum And, as more
and more animal health authorities have been agreeing that many
teat and udder injuries which have contributed to the spread of
mastitis have been caused by unstable milking vacuum you
should have your milking machine's performance checked
We'll be happy to do this for you with our DETCO Graph Machine
It’s a remarkable, new invention that records vacuum readings at
the milker units attached to the teats, recording the milking vacuum
and pulsating vacuum simultaneously And fells you in easy-to
understand graph form, as shown in the photo above, if you are
milking with unstable vacuum at the teat end
Increasing the size of your vacuum pump and the size of your air
and milk lines are good recommendations But if you still don't
have stable vacuum at the teat ends investigate our ZERO CONCORD
Twin-Vacuum Pipeline Milking System It’s a combination of a
revolutionary pipeline milking machine and the ZERO Completely-
Automated Vacuum Bulk Milk
Cooler It was designed especi
ally to milk with stable vacuum
at the teat ends to prevent teat
and udder injuries caused by
milking with unstable vacuum
And has many other advantages

INTRODUCING
THERMA-STOR
Daily Equipment Company Madison,
Wisconsin has added a new energy
saving Therma-Stor condensing unit to
its Dari-Kool Bulk Milk Cooler Line.
The Therma-Stor is a major improvement in
water cooled condensing units. This unit has an
all stainless steel heat exchanger combined with
a 150 gallon stainless steel storage tank. This unit
provides enough 110 degrees water for preping
cows and general use while milking. It also
stores 110 degrees water for use between
milking. In addition the Therma-Stor produces
50 gallons of 165 degrees for pipeline wash-up
after milking. This unit is available with a single
or dual condenser.
A NEW WATER COOLED CONDENSER - THERMA-STOR
For years water cooled condensing units have been used not only for bulk milk
coolers, but refrigeration units of all types. The main reason water was used, was to
lower the condensing temperature of the refrigerant. This mcreased the efficiency of
the condensing unit.
Large quantities of 70 degrees - 80 degrees water was the useless by-product of these
units. Because of the high original investment and maintenance cost, this style unit is
not commonly sold on milk coolers today.
Then things changed. Energy costs have doubled on most farms in the last few
years, 165 degrees F water now costs a dairyman Vz cent, to 2 cents per gallon. The
average dairy uses two gallons of hot water per cow, per day for udder washing,
sanitizing, washing equipment, feeding calves and general clean up. This means an
average cost of $2-iday or 8700-year for a 100 cow dairy. This revived the water cooled
condenser concept for dairy farmers. A modem dairy used 110 degrees water for
equipment sanitizing, udder washing, rinse cycles on the pipeline and the bulk cooler,
calf feeding and hand washing. Only the wash cycle of pipeline and the milk cooler
require an elevated water temperature of 165 degrees F. The profile of usage on an
average 100 cow dairy is 400 gallons of 110 degrees water and 70 gallons of 165 degrees
water.
A water cooled condenser can deliver 165 degrees water, but the condensing tem
perature would be very high. The results would be poor efficiency and short com
pressor life. The lower the condensing temperatures, the higher the efficiency and the
longer the compressor life.
(hie of the innovations on the market today generates a gallon of 100 degrees water
for every gallon of milk cooled. It also generated 50 gallons of 165 degrees at each
milking. This unit combines an insulated 150 gallon stainless steel storage tank and a
stainless steel heat exchanger into one. The condensing temperature in this unit is
determined by the 110 degrees water. The 165 degrees water is generated by
desuperheating the refrigerant. Storage of the 110 degrees and 165 degrees water is
necessary for usage at times other than milking.
A small backup 165 degrees water heater is recommended. There is no need for a
backup on the 110 degrees water because excess is usually generated. The
refrigeration system is very conventional regarding controls, valves and com
pressors. The condenser storage tank is the only special piece of equipment required.
This condenser storage tank can be added to most refrigeration systems.
The investment of this equipment is returned by the savings in electrical energy in a
year or two on the average dairy.
With the addition of Therma-Stor to an existing air cooled condenser refrigeration
system your milk house can be partially heated and there is no water wasted.
Average investment for a stanchion bam or small milking parlor will be in the 81300.
