Milk is supplied for the i-milk system in many
dierent formats. In Australia the most common is
the 10 litre bladder available from milk processing
companies. There are several storage systems
available.
This manual describes the bladder system,
but instructions relevant for using other bulk
systems are available on request from:
[email protected]
The Milkstak system consists of crates that
stack on top of each other and hold the milk
bladders. This system is designed to be installed
into existing refrigeration.
These systems must be installed in a permanently
refrigerated environment that can hold temperatures
between 1c – 5c constantly.
Emergency Taps
Two manual taps are supplied with each
i-milk for emergency use so milk can
be conveniently accessed direct from
the bladders in the event of power or
system failure.
Milk Filter Housing
i-milk is designed to pour a uniform,
steady, non-turbulent stream of milk.

i-milk V1 Operating Manual July 2018 7
Settle the bladder at on the base of the
container with the connector nearest the
cutout slot, face down. The bladder seal
must be above the connector.
Connect to Milkstak
Stack the tubs adjacent to the daisy chain
of spigots. Nesting tubs should be rm.
Remove (and retain) the black safety cap
from the spigot, remove the travel cap
from the bladder connector and push the
spigot rmly into the connector.
Overlled bags in Milkstak tubs may cause
the stack to become unstable. This will
rectify as milk is removed by the milk pumps.
Take care when sliding bladder connector
into slot. Otherwise the cap may be pulled
o resulting in a loss of milk.
Lift the bladder to position and slide the
bladder connector into the slot pushing it
to the bottom of the slot as shown.

Issue Comments And Possible Solution
i-milk is pouring frothy milk
i-milk is squirting milk into
the jug
Possibly caused by the system sucking air when the pumps
are active. Check that all quick t plumbing connections are
rm. Sometimes disconnecting and reconnecting is best as
the leak may be hard to detect.
Ensure that there is no hole in the wall of one of the milk
bladders attached to the system.
Possibly caused by something blocking the lter housing on
the end of the pouring font.
Remove the milk lter and clean it by following the
instructions on page 10.

To Clean the Milk Filter Housing
Monthly Milk Filter Cleaning
i-milk has a milk filter located on the font outlet. This black
fitting delivers a uniform, steady, non-turbulent stream of
milk. If the filter mesh becomes blocked it may cause the
milk to squirt or froth.
To remove the milk filter rotate it as you pull it down.
If debris has collected on the visible lter mesh carefully reverse ush it.
Replace the lter into the font rotating it as you push it in place and test the milk ow.
If the milk ow is still not satisfactory carry out the monthly cleaning process outlined below.
As shown in the picture below, the lter is made up of
4 stainless steel mesh lters each separated by 1 of 3
smaller “O” Rings. The must be in this sequence.
To disassemble gently push the
lters and “O” Rings out of the
lter housing into a large bowl
so as not to lose any parts.
1 black lter housing
4 identical stainless steel mesh lters
3 smaller “O” Rings that separate each mesh lter.
These drop freely into the black lter housing.
1larger “O” ring that is inserted last. It needs to be
pushed in place as it holds the mesh assembly in
the lter housing.

Cleaning The Mesh Filters
To Use Emergency Taps
Gently clean each mesh lter in warm soapy water and then
re-assemble in the order as shown in the picture, taking care
to insert the large o-ring as the nal piece of the assembly.
Your i-milk has 2 manual
taps located in your Spare
Parts box. These taps allow
you to manually pour milk
from bladders in the event
that your i-milk cannot
dispense milk.
To use, load a bladder in
a drawer or tub as normal
but do not locate the
connector.
Insert the spigot of the
manual tap into the bladder
and secure the manual tap
into the key hole in the tub
or drawer. This secures the
tap and allows for it to be
operated with one hand.
Position the drawer or tub at
the edge of a bench to pour
directly into a jug.
After use ensure the manual
taps are thoroughly cleaned
and stored back in the spare
parts box for any future use.
