Evanza milking cluster

[Real cool]

What’s the delay

 

[Real cool]

Impulse air cluster exchange is roughly £52 per point with all breakages covered. just change over the init box it up and send it back what could be simpler

What’s the delay

Apparently eastern Canada got there orders in before ours due to time zones? So our dealer hasn’t even gotten any units yet. I am told they will be getting them in on Monday or Tuesday.

 

[Real cool]

We were told by a customer three months ago he had ordered but were expensive but we will give it a go spoke to him last week still not got so good luck

What is so good about these clusters?

Sounds a lot like our situation..

Explains it better than I could. My brother in law works for delaval dealership here and he said the Canadian test farms were all seeing increased performance from them. I am skeptical of all the claims but if we can improve by half of what they claim I will be impressed. I don’t doubt that changing liners will be quicker with the cartridge system though.

As we are the first farm to be putting them in in the province we got the install cost waived.

Impulse air lets air into hood of the liner which makes it move away from the test. That I turn stops splash back of the test to eliminate test end damage It also lowers the vacuum at the teat end tests show its kinder to the cow with better milking and increased milk yields We test Millong parlours throughout U.K. so if anyone would like to try a unit we have a demo one

What are your customers saying about the clusters?

My cousin has the air impulse clusters in his swing over and ive milked in it a few times, its alright but nothing to get over exited a bit, still some slippage but the most annoying thing is the vacuum shutoff isn't good on the liners when attaching. Basically the nipples on the bowl are at the wrong angle meaning the liners dont collapse fully. he also says a lot of the vents break off at the mouth piece.

They are on a 70 point dairymaster rotary with very good results mills three times a day the cluster exchange come with a choice of claws so should be no issues with shut off cluster exchange 52 pound per point changed every 2500 Milking’s a good deal all tubes and liners changed all you do is take cluster off put new on and go I have a contact no for the chap on rotary if you message me you can get his views

If you buy the de laval system been quoted on here at 400 per point on say a 20 unit plant outlay is 8000 quid If you do cluster exchange on impulse air on 20 unit plant outlay is 1040 quid if you don’t like impulse air you don’t keep continuing contract if you don’t like de laval you have 8000 quid in a pile

Service intervals? That's some money. My liners cost 19 quid. And last a season

 

[Real cool]

Yea I know but a chap told me that the other day and then bought 4 x claw tops at 70 quid a piece so really I can see where you are coming from but de laval at 400 quid a unit the impulse air is a good product and produces results the A D F is a good product but it ain’t 19 quid a unit

 

[Real cool]

A D F change at 2000 Milking’s which should be the norm we could argue all day about liners but you will always get that

 

[Real cool]

For 52 quid you get the whole init not just liners

 

[Beef farmer]

How are people breaking clusters so easily?
Your 52 quid, do you ever actually own the cluster?

 

[Real cool]

No you on a contract you never own the unit but it does cover breakages

 

[Real cool]

There are cow men and there are cow men and we weren’t talking cheap sh!t they were de laval claw tops

Probably best starting your own thread @Real cool there have been a few threads on the impulse air which i believe is a good product.

But this is Farmer 1994s thread about the Evanza claw.
