Why do mobile milking machines need to be cleaned in a timely manner

The mobile milking machine is a device that comes into direct contact with milk, and its hygiene condition becomes an important control link. During use, bacteria may be produced due to changes in temperature environment, affecting the quality of milk. Therefore, it is necessary to clean the milking equipment.
The main purpose of cleaning a mobile milking machine is to remove milk deposits from the parts of the equipment that can come into contact with milk. If not cleaned, on the one hand, the quality of milk will not improve, and on the other hand, it will have a negative impact on later milking. The cleaning of milking equipment mainly involves controlling microorganisms, including removing residual substances and killing microorganisms after milking, which requires immediate cleaning after milking.
Mobile milking machine cleaning removes residual liquid milk and partially dried milk film after milking, preventing bacteria from colonizing and reproducing in the equipment. Cleaning mainly involves rinsing residual milk with water, but for the cleaning system, it is more difficult to clean the milk film. The fat and protein in residual milk are good substrates for bacterial growth. If residual milk contains bacteria, it will lead to rapid and massive bacterial proliferation; Some pastures use water with high hardness, and the calcium and magnesium ions in the water can form milk stones with milk. These milk stones can not only adhere to the inner surface of milking equipment, but also be colonized by a large number of microorganisms; When certain conditions are suitable, even after visually cleaning the surface, it can be observed that a biofilm composed of some microorganisms will form, which is one of the threats to the cleaning of milking equipment.
Mobile milking machine cleaning not only includes cleaning the inside of the milking equipment, but also includes cleaning the outside of the milking equipment, as well as cleaning the milking stand, milking equipment surroundings, and milking parlor environment. The hygiene of the milking parlor is one of the important aspects of milking parlor management and a prerequisite for ensuring milk quality.
