And when you milk consistently, you save your cows. That’s just what the new Surge ALERT™ is designed to do. The Surge ALERT is a lighweight end-of-milking signal that uses a unique infrared light beam to look through the milk hose to sense end of milk flow. So there's absolutely nothing in the line itself to create a restriction, fluctuation, or loss of vacuum. And there's no premature removal or shutdown. And It's precise. Both a flashing light and beeper Indicate the end of milking. So operators know exactly when to remove the milker. See One Of These Dealers For Details...
