Robotic milking

Said it was as if the button the tanker driver pushes had been pushed (I don't have robots)!? Blue, Delaval. Went in end off last/start of this year but where secondhand. Think they had been in two other places prior. He was lucky like you @happycows, tanker had been in the night before, no collection today, so tomorrow morning would have been rather grim. Asked who would cover the loss, but he didn't;t know yet.

Not required there to have a cap on the outlet to keep flies and vermin out of the tank outlet?
Wont pass inspection if no cap and tank wash pump not plugged. Have witnessed what happens when a mouse goes into the wash pump hose.

Good point/question. Don't know. Sure the others will inform us soon.

What do Lely users wipe the laser glass with? Is everyone still using the Lely cleaner ?

Ours gets a blast of water after every cow so very rarely needs an additional wipe

 

[cowcrazy]

Yes ours do to, but always wipe at least 3 x it really helps attachment times and failure rate.

Blue paper towel.

(although I am not happy with the person who put some down the staff toilet)

I had milk blowing down the drain because a rat had chewed through the cable that runs to the dairy. replaced it with armoured cable to make sure it doesn't happen again!

Friend of mine having a major problem with the UPS backup system for his robot computer keeps blowing. It keeps blowing the power card. His electrician cannot find any problem and the ESB keep saying all is fine on there side. They did put in a monitor this week to measure voltage to see if his system is getting spikes. Has this happened to anyone and how did ye sort the issue.

is Lely lense cleaner for cleaning the laser just window cleaner?

Nooo can not possibly be, - window cleaner is 1/4 the price !

Super duty cleaner. If your water is not too hard, window cleaner might be fine for daily cleaning. Then once or twice a week do a good cleaning with the Lely cleaner. Just a small amount on a cloth and scrub good. Have had a couple of times when it was not being used, got a hard water glaze on the glass. It would look clear when wet, nut dried with a haze over it. One I took the laser off while doing a maintenance (with the intention of replacing it). Just for fun, stood it on end glass up and put a towel on soaked with straight Astri-cid. Let it sit for an hour while I did the rest of the maintenance. The haze then was softened and was able to scrape it off with my thumb nail. They then used the Lely cleaner twice a week and the haze never returned. Doing this a bottle should last a long time.

Bought the best window cleaner B&M did for £1 . So much better than the Lely lense cleaner !

A woman went to BMW with a new car under warranty with a issue as the windscreen washer wouldn't work. Seems a highly technically advanced car can't cope with "Tesco screenwash" but needs the BMW screenwash. Therefore she invalidated the warranty on the broken components!

Just be aware.

Anyone know who refurbishes lasers. It’s fullwood but identical too Lely.
I’ve had one been getting condensation on the inside. I’ve swopped it over with a spare today but want to get it re done ready for my spares dept.
Thanks

Yes Tim does them had a leaflet come with his last invoice. No price shown.

 

[happycows]

Thanks. I’ll give him a ring on Monday.

 

[Bald Rick]

think lely charge £400 for a refurbed lazer. Generally just seals to stop the condensation so seems a bit steep to me but a lot less than a new one. Bit of a pain to change too as the plug is right up inside the arm.

 

[Sid]

Anyone had issue with Delaval delivery times?
Express order on Monday will arrive next Monday!

 

[Seasider]

Yep, only one week, count yourself lucky!
