WHAT'S NEW
1
METERING SYSTEM
FOR FREE
STALL MILKING
PARLORS
A new metering system for
in-line measuring of herd v,r
string milk production
provides a direct accounting
tool that can help boost a
dairyman’s profits, ac
cording to the manufacturer.
Because the Metering
System measures all
flowage through the line, it
actually measures the
cleaning process as well. If
gallonage recorded on the
meter falls below the users
standard water con
sumption, he knows his
cleaning process is not
complete Thus, by com
pleting the process, costly
contamination problems can
be avoided
The Free Stall Milking
Parlor metering system
consists of a T-100 Diesel
Turbine meter and a SM2-
107-10 Totalizer. This system
provides continuous flow
metering and is cleaned in
place with other milking
equipment
