Milking machine Doyushka: specifications and how to use

Hand milking cows is not easy, it takes a lot of time and effort. This is especially difficult when there are many animals in the herd, and everyone needs to be given attention. Automatic milking machines have been developed to help the milkmaid. Consider the production characteristics of the Doyushka milking machine, its pros and cons, how it works and use according to the instructions.

Machine manufacturer

The milking machine with the name "Doyushka" was developed and produced in the city of Miass, which is located in the Chelyabinsk region. The company produces milking units for milking cows, mares, goats, sheep. Spare parts for units are also available and can be purchased separately.

The most popular models are Doyushka 1P and Doyushka 1C. There are also produced devices for joint milking of a pair of cows - "Doyushka Tandem" and a variant with a high-volume can - "Doushka Universal".

How does the device work?

The Doyushka machine uses a piston pump, due to its special design it works more silently than a vacuum pump. The pump mechanism produces 64 strokes per minute - the same as a calf does when suckling milk. Because of this, the cow remains calm. The tightness is created by a replaceable leather cuff, the manometer controls the working pressure.

Four cups, which are put on all teats, have inserts made of transparent material, you can control the flow of milk from each part of the udder. Thoughtfully designed cups are put on the cow's nipples quickly and easily, without causing discomfort to animals.

Milk is poured into a large stainless steel can.It closes with a lid, it has a handle, you can attach equipment to it during milking. The can stands on a platform with sides, which makes it stable. The whole apparatus can be moved, wheels are built into the lower part of the frame (one of them is steering and 2 carriers).

The engine of the Doyushka machine is durable, it is controlled by a motor button, it can turn the machine on or off.

The principle of operation of the milking machine "Doyushka"

When the device is turned on, the pump starts to work, the piston in it moves up and down. Due to the movement of the piston and the valve placed on the pump cover, a vacuum is created. When rarefied, milk from the nipples is sucked into the glasses, from which it enters the can. When the tank is full, the machine can be turned off.

In order for the Doyushka cow machine to work properly and for a long time, you need to take care of it: rinse the equipment from milk liquid and lubricate the piston and cylinder every week. You can clean with special brushes that are included with the unit.

Vacuum pressure - 40-50 kPa, pulsation frequency - 64-74 times per minute. With the help of a milking machine, you can get milk from 5-8 cows per hour.

Instructions for use

For safety reasons, the electrical wiring to which the unit is connected must be equipped with a residual current device. Before turning on Doyushka, you need to make sure that the voltage in the network meets the one that is necessary for the normal operation of the device.

Before operation, you need to assemble the device. Turn it on, then it should 3-5 min. work idle. If there is no extraneous noise from moving mechanical parts, you need to wash the milking equipment.

Before starting milking, you need to check the pressure that is formed in the installation. If the vacuum level is higher or lower than recommended, it is necessary to adjust it with a control valve located on the milk receiver to the recommended values - 0.04-0.045 MPa.

Before you start milking, you need to wash the udder of the cow, then lightly massage the udder. Place milking cups on the teats: take the milk receiver with one hand (the nozzles and the splitter should be directed upwards, and the cups should be directed downwards). With the other hand, place the glasses alternately on the nipples.

During milking, you need to monitor how the milk flows, this can be easily seen through the transparent elements of the nozzles. When the milking comes to an end, you need to press the milk bowl to intensify the milking process.

After that, while holding the milk receiver, unscrew the pressure regulator to remove the vacuum. Only after that you can remove the glasses by removing them one by one from the nipples. The final stage is the treatment of nipples with disinfectants. After that, you need to hang the equipment on the installation handle, then lift the lid that closes the can, pour the resulting milk into a separate container and proceed to milking the next animal.

When all the cows are milked, it is necessary to rinse the equipment first with clean water, then lower it into a container with hot water or with the addition of a disinfectant and turn on the installation. Repeat rinsing as many times until the water is clear. Rinse the hoses and the inside of the can.

Weekly you need to remove the milk receiver, can, glasses and clean them of milk residues with a brush. After the same amount of time, disassemble the pump, lift the leather gasket and lubricate the parts with oil (to improve sealing and reduce friction).

Replace liner every 4 weeks, especially if they are cracked or damaged. Also monitor the condition of the hose rubber. Store the Doyushka milking machine in a dry place. The Doyushka unit is designed for home use. It facilitates the milking process, is comfortable for the animal and human. It greatly facilitates the work, it is especially important to use it if the farm contains several animals. Milking allows you to reduce the time spent on milking and makes difficult work easier. If handled with care, the unit will last a long time.
