Milking System
Patent No. EP3554226 (titled "Milking System") was filed by Lely Patent on Nov 27, 2017. The application was issued on Jan 5, 2022.
Patent Summary
Milking system for measuring milk properties like fat content, cell count, etc. The system has a milking cup and a measuring chamber connected to it. Sensors in the chamber measure milk properties. A control unit processes the sensor data to determine overall milk properties. This allows accurate, real-time measurement of milk properties during milking without hindering milk flow. It also enables targeted routing of milk based on properties. The chamber is connected to a sample line to collect a small portion of milk for analysis. The chamber shape and air extraction prevent foaming.
