KANSAS CITY, MO Alfa-
Laval Agri, Inc., a worldwide
dairy supplier based in Kansas
City, has introduced a portable
version of its SST™ II Take-Off
unit for use in tie stall or stanchion
bam dairy operations.
The Portable SST™ II Take-Off
uses an advanced microprocessor
to fully automate milking claw
removal. The new take-off enables
one operator to control more milk
er units simultaneously, thus eli
minating extra steps in the milking
process. The Portable SST™ II
improves milking accuracy and
allows more cows to be milked per
hour.
The unit’s microprocessor con
trol provides the operator with a
number of programmable func
tions, including retraction delays
that can be set for 9, 16, 23 or 30
seconds. A “milk sweep” function
can be selected to reduce the
amount of milk left in the claw and
milk tube.

During the second year through
the fifth year, the plan pays war

deductible is paid by the customer.
If a customer sells a tractor, the
warranty is transferable.
The warranty applies to all
MAGNUM tractors including
those already sold and being used
by farmers.

models are row-crop two-wheel

“Case 1H believes the market
will react extremely favorably to
this warranty,” Miller said. “The
MAGNUM line has generated a
great deal of interest in the North
American market, and this warran
ty should just be the icing on the
cake.”

The control module of the Port
able SST™ II has been convenient
ly located to simplify the opera
tor’s movements. The unit’s light
weight—only 8.3 lbs. with pulsa
tor —and ergonomically designed
handle maximize operator com
fort. And to improve work effi
ciency, an inidicator light alerts the
operator of retraction.
When the unitis disconnected
from the vacuum line, it is kept in
the retracted position by a patented
cord lock. This feature eliminates
the need for hanging the milking
claw on the take-off unit before
moving to the next cow.
The Portable SST™ H Take-Off
unit is designed for use with Delat
ron™ AL pulsators. The unit can
be purchased directly from any De
Laval Dealer.
