Product Overview The Milking Claw is a key component of a cow milking cluster, connecting the teat cups and milk tubing to provide a central path for milk collection. Designed for commercial dairy operations, it supports organized milk flow, convenient handling, and efficient routine cleaning. The configuration can be selected according to the milking machine, parlour layout, herd size, and project requirements.
Key Features
  • Central milk collection design for cow milking clusters.
  • Balanced outlet arrangement supports stable positioning of teat cups.
  • Compact and ergonomic structure for convenient operator handling.
  • Milk-contact surfaces can be designed for efficient cleaning and sanitation.
  • Durable materials suitable for demanding commercial dairy environments.
  • Available in different configurations according to milking system requirements.
  • Suitable for new dairy farm installations, parlour upgrades, and replacement projects.
Structural Components A typical milking claw assembly consists of a central claw body or bowl, milk inlet and outlet connections, teat-cup connections, air or pulsation connections, seals, and a supporting bracket or attachment point. Depending on the configuration, a shut-off valve, transparent bowl, stainless steel fittings, or other compatible components may be supplied.
Working Principle / Structural Principle During milking, the teat cups are connected to the cow's teats and linked to the central claw. Milk from the individual quarters enters the claw through the connected milk tubes and is combined before being transferred through the main milk hose toward the milk line or receiver. The claw also helps maintain an organized connection between the teat cups, milk tubing, and pulsation system.
