Anybody doing it and how much diesel do you use ?
Yeah I am, 15 stall single sided herringbone bail, 120 cows milked twice a day, including cooling of the milk and all hot water for washing, roughly 200 litres a week, give or take a few litres.Anybody doing it and how much diesel do you use ?
Now paying 22p for electric so looks like a generator could be half that !It is surely not cheaper to use a generator?
Be careful as it is dirty electricity and a neighbour totally cooked his circuit boards which made milking a whole lot harder than the original power cut.
How much kva would you reckon on a single bot and tank cooling? Water heated on demand by gas.Never had any bother with the robots. Just make sure it's big enough for the job
My generator cost 7k new back in January. 45kva which powers a 24:48, cooling and 3ph wash down pump. Generator suppliers will tell you what size you need if you have the relevant infoAnybody know how much a generator would cost to power a 16 16 heat the water and cool the milk ?
If your running a Genny have the hot water off that, I've got a 300l tank and a 30kva it soon gets it up to heat.How much kva would you reckon on a single bot and tank cooling? Water heated on demand by gas.
