WestfaliaSurge presents the DeMax 80, the first in a series of completely new milking control devices with integrated pulsation and stimulation. It provides much more comfort in use and allows space saving at the milking place by its innovative integrated cluster removal system. The DeMax 80 is uniquely positioned at a slight angle from the vertical. By this new and unique arrangement the cluster will be removed more gently and gives the milker more space to work and a better overview of the milking process. A large start-stop button and signal lights also make operation and monitoring easier and much more convenient. After the take-off the cluster will be in a most comfortable position for the next milking procedure.

DeMax 80 offers flexible, programmable control of milking, which can be either milk flow or time-controlled. Cluster removal can be delayed to suit the individual demand of the cows. Parameters are individually set and conveniently documented from a laptop when the system is put into operation. Modifications and online diagnosis for maintenance purposes can be carried out at any time during operation.

DeMax 80 also has integrated automatic stimulation. Big diameters of the ducts of the VisoFlow milk flow sensor make it easy to clean and ensure a consistent vacuum. The new Kick-Off sensor can be installed as an option.

Large red signal lights are visible from anywhere in the pit, allowing constant monitoring of the milking process. Optionally, DeMax can also operate the entry/exit gates and the fast exit front gates. The control of the indexing function is a further option.

Less work when starting and finishing milking
One press of a button is sufficient to move all the clusters into milking position. If the EasyStart option is installed, milking starts automatically when the cluster is lifted - no need even to press a button. After milking, DeMax makes it just as easy to move the cluster to the rinsing position with one touch of a button. And what is really special: no need to wait for the last cow in the group, the vacuum can be switched off on each individual unit to allow the clusters to be positioned for the rinsing phase.

All the electronic components are well protected from wet and dirt in the upper part of the DeMax unit, which is the successor to the ACR series, of which over 100,000 have been sold. The housing is carefully designed to minimize noise during milking also.
