Pulsation settings

[Milk maker]

Recently extended parlour and all computer settings have reset to factory settings. Running a low line 40x40 vacuum at 42 kpi pulsation doing 62 beats at 65/35 ratio. Cows seem unsettled when putting clusters on but not bad when milking. What's your thoughts? What settings you running?

Installers should have run a test after .
If not then how do they know all is ok?

Yea was tested at the settings mentioned. Which is probably normal just wondered if a softer milking setting would perhaps slow milking times but settle cows.

Is your prep leaving enough time for the cow to let her milk down before cupping?
I have duovacs in my parlour, they’re not everybody’s cup of tea, but when you cup the vacuum is at a reduced level until the milk flows.

If you haven't already, get a dynamic test done. Cheap, easy and will tell you more about what your cows are feeling.. If cows are unsettled etc., a gentler milking is unlikely to slow things down, as any 'slowing down' effect of the gentler milking will be made-up by cows letting milk down more freely if they are more comfortable.
