The pipeline and all milk handling systems are cleaned after every milking session using a washing system that first rinses out the remaining milk and then flushes cleaning solution through the piping to kill bacteria and remove milkstone, a layer of scale mainly formed by cations like calcium and magnesium.
Example of milk pipeline washing system that kills bacteria and removes milk residue after each milking. Recorded on the 35 cow dairy farm of Ken Mahalko / Kenneth Mahalko, Gilman, WI, USA, on July 8, 2008. My older brother Kevin Mahalko works alongside my father to run the dairy farm operation.
The milking process is the collection of tasks specifically devoted to extracting milk from an animal (rather than the broader field of dairy animal husbandry).This process may be broken down into several sub-tasks: collecting animals before milking, routing animals into the parlour, inspection and cleaning of teats, attachment of milking equipment to teats, and often massaging the back of the ...
The pipeline system greatly reduced the physical labor of milking since the farmer no longer needed to carry around huge heavy buckets of milk from each cow.

A 2 milking tank is designed to cool 50% of its capacity at once. A 4 milking tank is designed to cool 25% of its capacity at once, and a 6 milking tank is designed to cool 16.7% of its capacity at once. The cooling performance depends on the number of milking it takes to completely fill the tank, the ambient temperature and the cooling time.
