Föerster Technik Milk Collector
- The MilkCollector is located directly in the milking parlor or at the calf milk separation outlet of the milking robots.
- It continuously collects the fresh milk from the relevant cows and transports the milk directly to the SmartTank in the calf barn via a Teflon tube that is up to 100 meters long and only 12 mm thin.
- This is done via an integrated control system.
- After each fresh milk transfer, the MilkCollector and the milk pipe are automatically rinsed with water and blown dry with pulsating compressed air.
- The MilkCollector is then clean again and ready for the next milk transfer.
Föerster Technik SmartTank
- The SmartTank is located in the calf barn by the automatic feeder.
- The milk is temporarily stored here at 4-6°C.
- The cooling system works intelligently to prevent residual quantities from freezing.
- The milk stays fresh for a long time.
- The calves like it.
- The SmartTank ensures the highest quality of fresh milk until the animals call for it.
- It is fully integrated into the automatic cleaning system of the VARIO smart automatic feeder.

- A SmartTank with a filling volume of 100 l or300 l is available, depending on the size of the farm.
