COTSWOLD CLUSTER FLUSH
Milking Cluster Disinfection System
FOR SWING OVER PARLOURS
Model 220
PRODUCT MANUFACTURING, SERVICING & MAINTENANCE OVERVIEW
The Cotswold Cluster Flush is a system for the effective removal of infectious
material left in the milking cluster after a cow has been milked, so that the cluster
is disinfected before it is used to milk another cow.
The system mixes a small amount of recommended disinfectant with a pre-
determined amount of water, and automatically “flushes” each milking cluster with
this mixture. This process is repeated after every cow is milked.
Using the Cluster Flush System leads to a substantial reduction in the risk of
cross-infection between cows in the dairy.
SERVICES
The system is mains-powered (230v 50/60hz 1amp). At the point of use the
operating voltage is reduced to 24v dc.
The system requires a ready supply of fresh clean water and a clean compressed-
air supply (at 2 bar).
WIRING:
Connect the Power Supply Unit (PSU) to the mains via a double-pole isolation
switch, which should be visible and within easy reach of system operators.
Wiring from the power supply to each control box should be SELV, using a suitable
type of wire like H03VVF with a CSA of at least 0.75mm2.
All controllers and the power supply unit must be suitably earthed.
All connector tags and terminals will be zinc plated.
This equipment is rated for OV (over-voltage) Category 2 supplies.
