To quickly collect milk from a herd of cows, it is advisable to use the Burenka mobile milking machine. To work with this device, one operator is enough to interact with the entire herd. It will be useful for a farmer who has more than 5 animals. The milking rate is 1 liter per 1 minute. Consequently, the cattle will not get tired and will get rid of milk quickly.
Design and principle of operation
The Burenka milking machine has proven itself well in farms with a small number of livestock (10-15 animals).It is compact and economical in terms of energy consumption. Ease of use allows one person to perform all the necessary manipulations with the animal, without involving third-party assistants.
The device consists of:
- a support frame to which wheels are attached, which makes it easy to transport the device;
- vacuum sensor, which indicates the pressure indicator;
- an oil-type piston pump, which operates due to the movement of an electric motor and creates a vacuum;
- receiver;
- a vacuum regulator that allows you to monitor pressure;
- tubes through which milk will be collected and expressed;
- vacuum hoses;
- pneumatic pulsator;
- nipple tips, presented in the form of glasses;
- containers for milk.
In fact, the basis of the “Burenka” milking machine for cows is the motor that makes the piston system work. Air is pumped in and flows through rubber tubes to the glasses. At this time, the cuff is compressed, which tightly grips the nipple and stimulates the milking process.
When the piston returns to its original position, the air that is in the glass enters the air line and exits. The cuff, which initially presses against the animal's nipples, extends to the outer walls. At this moment the absorption process begins. Through the tubes, the milk enters a specially designated container.
The rest phase begins only when the pressure in the glass normalizes, and it can be adjusted independently.
Technical features
The Burenka device can be used not only for milking cattle. It also fits under a goat's udder.The glasses of the device massage it and artificially irritate the nervous limbs, which speeds up the process of milk production.
The milking machine is:
- equipment weighing 51 kilograms;
- milk container in the form of a stainless steel can, designed for 25 liters;
- a device with a power of 550 watts and a pressure of 50 kilopascals;
- dimensions 700*800*900;
- pulsation frequency 60-64 cycles.
The manufacturer is the Elektromash company from Nizhny Novgorod.
Advantages and disadvantages
Farmers are not always able to express all the milk. This is one of the significant problems of the equipment.
Using the Burenka apparatus
Before milking a cow, you need to take care of her personal hygiene: clean the animal from dirt, wash and massage the udder, wipe and dry the teats. Milking equipment is also prepared. It is washed after each procedure under water, while the device must be turned on, and then dried. Inner glasses are disinfected before use. For cows, the absence of discomfort and dirt is important. Therefore, the operator must also have a clean coat and hands.
When using the milking machine you must:
- check the entire system for connections;
- close the can lid tightly;
- bring the glasses upside down;
- turn on the equipment;
- adjust pressure;
- clamp the milk tube, then place the glass on the cow's udder;
- open the tap to allow milk to flow into the container.
If everything is done correctly, the farmer will receive all the milk yield without loss.
Where to buy and how much it costs
The Burenka milking machine can be purchased in the online store. The cost of the device depends on its modification. The most inexpensive model costs approximately 23 thousand rubles.
