Liner slippage

[it's not over]

Seem to be getting more liner slippage since I updated the parlour with new pulsation and acrs. I thought it was more to do with liner bore. I'm on a medium bore liner,always have been but dont want to go to small incase I get 1 problem solved at the expense of another. Could a change in pulsation ( delaval pacer to gea) result in more liner slippage

Not suggesting this is your problem, but we get more slippage when liners need replacing or at half time when they need 'pulling'.

They are due a change in july

 

[Spudley]

They are due a change in july

Is that based on 6 months or 2500 milkings?

Change the first 4 or 5 units now and see if there is any improvement?

 

[jimmer]

If the rest phase is different on new pulsation , combined with 3 parts worn liners that may have adverse affect ?

 

[Bald Rick]

Must say that the square liners seem to give less slip.

 

[farmboy]

Changed to square liners when I started in new parlour, rare to get any slipping now

Are your milkers willing to run around and fix a squawking unit?

It’s a Fullwood liner, can’t remember which one have to look tomorrow

Some are but to be honest I am rarely in the parlour as haven’t milked a single cow since 1979 but am occasionally in the office so keep an eye on

Fair enough, only job on the farm that actually makes money.

I’ve told myself that I when I’m 50 I’d like to be milking cows, not because I have to, but because i want to.

Supposedly pulsation and vacuum are to be adjusted to suit the inflation spec. So if you have the same inflations and changed your pulsation and vacuum that could be your issue.

None of my rubberware is replaced according to recommendations. Good inflations will go at least 2.5x the recommended life.

Ive never been able to milk cows without having some device to hold the milk hose in plwhich sets milker unit angle. Whether a hook or place to wedge the hose.

They won’t be DeLaval then! Struggling to get 2500 milkings from a set, I’ve had enough of them and will change to pattern liners next.

Fullwood QA23s

I use milkrite. I'm told they make liners for everyone. I used Avon before as they supplied delaval at a fraction of the cust

 

[Happy at it]

Funny I was going to ask you the make of the liner z. Had a set of milk rite and took them off in no time, between slipping and tearing where they were attached to the cluster. Getting on better with Kingstons.

I suppose 1 mans food is another mans poison. Used kingston years ago. Had to take them all off. Would never go back although that was in the late 80s
