Milking Machine and Farm Hygiene

Products for cleaning and maintaining hygiene in milking systems – for clean milking processes.

Clean milk needs a clean milking system. After every milking, organic residues such as protein and milk fat build up in pipes, clusters and the milk cooling tank, along with inorganic deposits such as lime and milkstone. Both are best removed alternately:

  • Alkaline cleaners such as eimü Alkalit dissolve organic deposits.
  • Acid cleaners such as eimü Sulitat remove lime and milkstone.

Both come as liquid and powder, recommended in alternation. For surfaces and equipment in the milking parlour there is Schaumreiniger AC, a long-adhering active foam for disinfecting cleaning, and Ferdei-Rox, which makes dirt visible and cleans oxidatively. Neutralreiniger is an all-purpose cleaner for the whole farm, Maschinenreiniger removes oil and grease from tractors and farm machinery.

Which eimü cleaner fits your Lely, DeLaval, GEA, Fullwood, Boumatic or SAC milking robot is shown in the overview under milking robots (AMS).
