Important for performance and gentle on the udder: 
A constant milking vacuum is much more than a mere calculation of pump capacity and milk line diameter! 

• WestfaliaSurge vacuum technology is the prerequisite for gentle, animal-friendly milking: Low vacuum means less stress for teats which is a great benefit for udder health. 
• The second prerequisite for successful milking is a constant vacuum: Many years of experience have lead to a parlour layout which matches pump capacity to certain pipeline diameters with the goal to get a constant vacuum in all parts of the milking installation. This is particularly important for the area between clawpiece and milk line. 
• The third factor is a safety issue: Our principal is to provide you with an generous vacuum performance that can compensate easily for sudden and unpredictable vacuum swings due to unexpected air inlets.
