Practical Application and Maintenance

To get the most out of your Barbaros milk collector, ensure that all connections to the teat cups and the long milk tube are secure and free of air leaks. Regular inspection of the internal components is recommended to ensure that the vacuum levels remain consistent. During cleaning cycles, ensure that the collector is properly flushed with appropriate dairy-grade detergents to prevent the buildup of milk solids, which can affect performance over time.
