Commercial Vacuum Pump Systems
Commercial vacuum pump systems are designed for farms that have outgrown portable milking and require increased capacity while maintaining flexibility. By providing a central vacuum source, multiple milking buckets can be operated at once, improving overall efficiency compared to portable units.
These systems are commonly used as the next step before a full milking parlour, allowing operations to scale gradually as herd size, labour demands, and production requirements increase.
System selection is often based on milking time, labour availability, and overall workflow rather than herd size alone. For many farms, this type of setup provides a practical solution while planning for future expansion.
Stationary Vacuum Pump
1.5 kW / 2 HP motor
110V 60Hz
13 CFM at 15 in. Hg
Supports 2 to 3 milking buckets
4 to 6 goats / 2 to 3 cows at a time
Low Entry Cost
For farms expanding beyond portable milking, this system provides a cost-effective way to increase capacity without the investment required for a full milking parlour. By introducing a central vacuum source, multiple milking units can be operated at once, improving efficiency while keeping the overall system relatively simple.
If you are already milking with portable units, existing buckets, milk lines, and milking units can be reused, allowing you to build on your current setup rather than starting from scratch. This reduces upfront cost while still increasing your ability to milk more animals in less time.
Pulsation systems can also be carried over or upgraded to electronic pulsation as needed, giving you flexibility to improve performance as your operation grows.
Built for Expansion
When you are ready to expand, this system provides a clear path toward a pipeline milking setup. Buckets can be replaced with a stainless steel milk line connected directly to a cooling tank, improving overall efficiency compared to bucket milking.
By transporting milk through a closed system, milk quality and hygiene are improved compared to bucket milking, with less risk of contamination during the milking process.
This eliminates manual handling, improves milk quality, creates a more hygienic process, and provides a more scalable solution as your operation continues to grow.
As operations continue to expand, milking larger numbers of animals in small groups becomes increasingly time and labour intensive. At this stage, many farms transition to milking parlour systems such as rapid exit or rotary setups, which are designed to significantly increase throughput and reduce labour requirements.
