The image shows a Nano Milking Machine, specifically a double bucket fixed type, designed for milking cows. This machine is suitable for small dairy farmers with fewer than 5 cows and is intended for home use where continuous electricity is available. The machine consists of two main parts:
-
The motor and vacuum system:This part includes the electric motor, typically 1 HP, and a vacuum pump with a capacity of around 300 Lpm. The motor drives the vacuum pump, which creates suction to extract milk from the cow. It is connected to the milking cluster with green tubing.
-
The milking cluster and buckets:This part comprises two stainless steel buckets, each with a 25-liter capacity, and the milking clusters, which attach to the cow’s teats. The clusters have liners that gently massage the teats to stimulate milk flow, and the extracted milk is collected in the buckets.
