Liner slippage
- Thread starter it's not over
- Start date
So liners haven’t changed at all? On this basis I would start to suspect overall vacuum or perhaps consider at which part of the milking the slips are happening, are you getting a more efficient milking but too much of a delay on the new ACRs. Best thing is to get a dynamic test done which should tell you when and why the slips are happening. All other things being equal, increasing loner bore size in relation to mouthpiece size will reduce slips but increase test congestion
Milfos square liner here. Last a season if you where aloud to do that long easily. 8000+ milkings
I use the in the merlins and I am getting 15k milking from a set?.
Pushing my luck, maybe but have had no problems yet.
I’ve only been using them coming up a year so on my second set but very happy so far
Even after I change them they still look good. I could perhaps push them a bit further but it's not worth it. One case of mastitis would buy a lot of liners.
No doubt sometime they will be forgotten about when it's busy and then I'll find out.
TBF changing one set isn’t to bad, changing 24 sets in the parlour is not a job I look forward to

Is that the same as the GEA? We use the square GEA rubber with the plastic shell. They outlast the silicone for a third of the price.

Out of interest what's everyone paying for a set. Milkrite are about £16.
DELAVAL £30 a set, won’t even get to 2500 milkings, split on the mouthpiece. Bloody rubbish, actually bloody expensive rubbish.

Are they made by milkrite. I know Avon made them year back. Alot cheaper than the branded de laval
Milfos £21 for the □ liners. Seems dear enough, but £30...?

Is milkrite not just a rebranding of Avon?
I find the boumatic liners don't last as long as they used to, the compound is supposed to have been changed for "environmental " reasons.
Edit: a check on the website still shows 2500 milkings.

You can drop to a smaller diameter
I thought 20mm is the smallest diameter?
