2. “....The biggest advance in the
milking process in a generation....”
Mouthpiece vented liners will give balanced air flow to reduce
the forces on the teat and improve milk-flow for:
HEALTHY MILKING

DRY TEATS through efficient milk removal and no splash back
IMPROVED TEAT CONDITION: reduced teat ringing, reduced teat
congestion, reduced hyperkeratosis
IMPROVED HERD HEALTH through reduced SCC and mastitis levels

GENTLER MILKING will give relaxed parlor conditions.
Animals are more comfortable and less stressed.
LIGHTER WEIGHT CLUSTERS, which are easier on
the cow and the milker.
TRIANGULAR LINER TECHNOLOGY to reduce slips
and kick-offs
All leading to improved parlor conditions
BALANCED AIR FLOW to give less milk turbulence and
improved milk flow

GENTLE MASSAGE ON THE TEAT
BETTER GRIP TO THE TEAT
LESS LINER MOVEMENT GIVING GENTLE
OPENING AND CLOSING PHASES
LIGHTER WEIGHT CLUSTERS FOR LESS
STRESS ON THE TEAT
Triangular liners provide a three way massage for a gentle
action on the cow’s teat.
The impact resistant shell has a triangular shaped interior
to reduce the total air volume between the shell and the liner.
This leads to a more responsive opening and closing of the
liner, which optimizes the milk and the rest phases of pulsation.

HOW DOES
WORK?
LOWER FORCES ON THE TEAT THROUGHOUT THE
MILKING CYCLE will give lower teat congestion and
overall better teat condition.
NO MILK SPLASH-BACK will reduce any risk of teat
cross contamination
Most damage occurs to the teat at low milkflow.
The vented liner system reduces the vacuum forces
on the teat throughout the milking cycle.
The system is a unique milking assembly.
We introduce the air into the system behind the milk to
give a more even vacuum drop through the system.
All milking systems need vacuum to pull the milk away
from the teat - but this vacuum can also damage the teat.
The mouthpiece vent reduces this effect.

5. INDEPENDENT TESTING
AND FARM TRIALS
0706
PROVEN TO REDUCE SOMATIC
CELL COUNT AND MASTITIS
We work with independent testing authorities to establish scientific farm
trials so that you can be sure of the results. With these authorities we have
established the effects of vacuum and pulsation on output and teat health -
and then compared these results to a standard round liner.
The results are clear:
This allows us to optimise your milking machine and improve conditions
for you and your animal.
Through these test results we have been able to develop much more detail
of the vacuum and pulsation conditions that will improve milk output whilst
improving teat health.
Long term test results show significant herd improvements, improving milk quality and lowering of costs.
MCC-Vlaanderen is an independent Milking Control Organisation working in Belgium. They picked 20 well-managed farms and
then assessed conditions before and after fitting Impulse Air. Results were recorded over a period of a year. These were the results:
One case of mastitis will cost in the region of £200 in terms of veterinarian bills, lost milk and other costs.
Penalties on milk price for above average somatic cell count can take 1p a litre off the value of your milk.
For an average farm at 1 million litres p.a. that’s a loss of a £833 per month.

SOMATIC CELL COUNT REDUCTION OVER ALL FARMS
REDUCTION IN CLINICAL MASTITIS IN 12 OF 20 FARMS,
WITH THE REMAINING 8 FARMS AT THE SAME LEVEL
REDUCTION IN LIPOLYSE GENERATION ACROSS ALL FARMS
(FROM AN ALREADY LOW STARTING POINT)
REDUCTION IN TEAT DAMAGE ON ALL FARMS
REDUCTION IN HYPERKERATOSIS ON ALL FARMS
(All results and test protocol are available on our website www.milkrite.com)
MUCH REDUCED INCIDENCE OF TEAT DAMAGE WHEN USING
….AT ALL VACUUM CONDITIONS
Teats were inspected after milking at various
vacuum conditions. At all vacuum conditions the
system improves teat condition.

FULL CLUSTER SOLUTIONS - We have developed
the most modern cluster to make milking more efficient,
healthier for the animal and better for the dairy farmer
LINERS - With air inlet, improved slippage
control and anti-twist feature which come in two generic size
types. The IP10 range is designed for a wider teat range which
is a feature of many European herds. The IP20 range is a smaller
bore liner specifically designed for the easy milking cows with
a high milkflow rate.
SHELLS - Specially designed for Impulse
triangular liners
CLAWS - Designed for easy handling and cleaning
WASH SYSTEMS - Designed for robust performance

IP20-SERIES
THE ‘PERFECT FIT’
ADVANCED LINER PERFORMANCE FOR SMALLER
AND SHORTER TEATS
OPTIMISED ‘PERFECT FIT’ FOR MODERN
COW GENERATIONS
ERGONOMIC, EASY GRIP SHELL DESIGN
PROVIDING THE PROVEN BENEFITS OF THE
IMPULSE AIR TECHNOLOGY FOR OPTIMUM COW
COMFORT AND ANIMAL HEALTH CONDITIONS
Current modern high yielding herds require the optimal
milking cluster. A further step in Milkrite’s innovation is the
new Impulse Air IP20 Series with ‘Perfect Fit’; the first clusters
that really suit progressive, high yielding dairy herds.
