MILK MONITOR AUTOMATIC TAKE-OFF SYSTEM
FITS MOST TYPES AND BRANDS OF MILKING PARLOURS
Automatic Cluster Remover
The Milk Monitor Automatic Take-Off System is designed to improve efficiency and consistency in goat and sheep milking parlours. This advanced automatic cluster removal system prevents overmilking, protects animal health, and ensures optimal milk extraction.
Using real-time milk flow detection, the system automatically removes the milking unit at the correct time, reducing labour requirements while improving overall milking performance. Built-in pulsation and stimulation features adapt to each stage of milking, supporting faster milk let-down and more consistent results across the herd.
Compatible with herringbone, parallel, rapid exit, and rotary milking systems, the Milk Monitor ACR provides a reliable and user-friendly solution for modern dairy operations.
System Compatibility
The Milk Monitor Automatic Take-Off System is designed to integrate seamlessly with a wide range of milking parlour configurations, making it suitable for both new installations and system upgrades.
This system is compatible with:
This flexibility allows producers to improve milking efficiency without replacing their existing system.

Cluster Remover
The Milk Monitor ACR is a robust easy to operate controller with built in pulsation and stimulation. It is capable of handling standard operations and include advanced features such as; Networking, Remote start, Soft Start, Soft Takeoff, Milk Let Down Delay among many others.
Milk Sensor & Vacuum Shut-Off
This beautifully simple sensor is able to monitor milk flow by sensing the resistance of the liquid and provide continuous feedback to the Milk Monitor which is able to use that feedback to dynamically alter the milking either by increasing stimulation or going into its take-off sequence.
Take-Off Cylinders
If the Milk Monitor is the brains of the system, the Take-Off Cylinder is its arm, these cylinders have a double pulley system that allows them to gently retract the cluster once the vacuum to the milking unit has been turned off. You have the choice of our robust Stainless Steel Vacuum Cylinder or the AutoStart Version which incorporates a labour saving AutoStart switch within the unit itself, allowing the unit to automatically go into milking when the operator lifts the milking cluster.
Control Valve and Pulsator
Greenoak's Control Pulse range includes the LE30 Control Pulse MK1, Control Pulse Valve MK2, and Programmable Pulsator. Designed to function as either a Control Valve or a Pulsator, the Control Pulse range increases compatibility across installations while reducing spare parts inventory and simplifying maintenance. The Programmable Pulsator builds on the proven MK2 design by adding programmable pulsation rates and ratios for greater flexibility.
