Milk claw

The milk claw is a part of the milking machine that
is placed immediately after the milking liner and the

milk from the breast enters it. In fact, the milk claw
acts as the primary tank for collecting milk. The

vacuum in the milking system enters the milk claw
through the milking hose. It pumps the expressed

milk into the milk transfer system, commonly known
as the milk line. If the volume of milk claw is less

than the volume of milk milked in each pulse of the
pulsator, the air pressure will return the milk left in the

milk claw into the breasts and lead to mastitis. The
milking valve in goat and sheep milking machines

replaces the usual milk claws and is easier to use.
As soon as the nipple is connected with the liner, the

valve activates the vacuum and milking becomes
possible, and when the milking ends and the liner

is separated from the nipples, the vacuum is auto-
matically cut off and milking stops.This makes the

milking process easier, especially in goat and sheep
milking machines.
