Soft Tissue Mobilization

Milking machines are used to harvest milk from cows when milking is ineffective or manual labor. The milking unit is part of a milking machine for removing milk from an udder. It consists of a claw, four teat cups (tanks and rubber flooring) long milk tube pulse tube length, and a pulsator. The label is a set that connects the short pulse tubes and pipes away from the milk teat cups on the long pulse tube and the long milk tube. (Assembly Cluster) Claws are usually stainless steel or plastic or both. Teat cups are made of a rigid outer shell (stainless steel or plastic) that holds a soft inner liner or inflation. transparent sections in the tank may allow visualization of the collapse of the line and the flow of milk. The annular space between the shell and the lining is called the pulse chamber.

Milking machines work in a way that is different from hand milking or calf suckling. Continuous vacuum is applied inside the soft liner massage milk from the teat by creating a pressure difference across the teat canal (or opening at the end of the nipple). Vacuum also helps keep the machine attached to the cow. The vacuum applied to the teat causes congestion of teat tissues (accumulation of blood and other fluids). Atmospheric air is admitted into the pulsation chamber about once per second (pulse rate) to allow the liner to collapse around the end of teat and relieve congestion in the tissues of the teat. The relationship between the time that the liner is open (milking phase), closed resting phase () is called the pulsation ratio.

Milking machines keep the milk enclosed and protected from outside contamination. surfaces in contact with milk inside "the machine is well maintained by a procedures manual or automatic washing implemented after milking is completed. Milk contact surfaces must comply with regulations requiring food grade materials (typically stainless steel and special plastics and rubber compounds) and are easy to clean.

Most milking machines are powered by electricity, but in case of power failure, there may be another way of motive power, often an internal combustion engine, for vacuum and milk pumps. Milking cows can not tolerate delays in scheduled milking without serious reductions in milk production.
