Both Udder Health And
Milking Efficiency.
The Bio-Milker features a synchronized
automatic air-inlet valve just under the teat
tip. Air enters only during the release phase.
A perfectly timed air burst quickly moves
the milk away from the teat. This reduces
the risk of infection by limiting teat impacts.
Also, vacuum is utilized to provide a bio
logically desired pressure release of teat
tissue. Westfalia’s Bio-Milker is the
ultimate in milking quality.
