MILKRITE INTERPULS – TRIANGULAR MOUTHHPIECE VENTED LINERS

A ringing additional endorsement was that 40% of US dairy farmers (and five of the world’s 10 biggest dairy farms) use this milk liner technology, which has won global innovation – excellence awards in milking technology in the UK (Prince Philip Award), France (Innov’ Space), Denmark (three-star award at Agromek) and Sweden (the highest award at Elmia). 

LOGICAL AND GENTLE

The two points of difference with the Milkrite InterPuls shells and liners are that teat compression during milk-out is evenly distributed from three sides of the teat – rather than the traditional two sides.

The three-way compression is significantly gentler on teats.

In addition, the air vent is positioned in the mouthpiece at the top of each liner (rather than at the claw), which introduces the air above the milk flow, and eliminates splash-back and cross-contamination.
