🐮 The Importance of a Well-Balanced Claw
The weight and balance of a milking cluster play an important role in milking performance. A well-balanced claw helps keep the liners in the correct position beneath the udder, allowing each quarter to be milked more evenly and efficiently.
Adding weight close to the udder can improve the stability of the milking cluster by reducing unwanted movement and maintaining a more consistent liner position throughout the milking process. This helps create a more uniform load on each teat and supports efficient milk removal from all four quarters.
At AktivPULS, we evaluate the complete milking system, not just the liner itself. That is why we advice to use Vadia technology to measure vacuum dynamics and milking performance under practical conditions. By analysing the interaction between the milking cluster, liners and the cow, we can optimise every component for maximum milking efficiency, teat comfort and udder health.
