The Delmer Visual Milk Meter is a dairy milk-measuring device designed to measure the milk yield of individual cows during milking. It uses a calibrated measuring flask to provide a direct visual reading of milk collected during milking and allows representative milk samples to be collected for analysis.
Available in 30 kg and 42 kg capacities, the Delmer Visual Milk Meter is designed for practical installation in herringbone, parallel and rotary milking parlours. It is suitable for dairy farms, herd recording, milk testing, breeding and research applications.
What Is a Visual Milk Meter?
A visual milk meter is a device installed in the milking line to measure the milk yield of an individual dairy animal. During milking, milk is collected in a calibrated measuring flask, allowing the operator to read the animal's milk yield and collect a representative sample for further testing.
How the Delmer Visual Milk Meter Works
The meter captures a representative proportion of milk during milking and collects it in a calibrated flask. The visible scale allows the operator to read milk yield directly. An integrated three-way tap can be used to collect milk samples for fat, protein and other component analysis.
The tapered flask design improves readability at different milk volumes, while the system is designed to maintain smooth milk flow with minimal resistance.
Key Features
- Individual cow milk-yield measurement
- 30 kg and 42 kg measuring capacities
- Calibrated measuring flask for direct visual reading
- Representative milk sampling through an integrated three-way tap
- Smooth milk flow with low resistance
- Design avoids narrow passages that can contribute to blockages
- Food-grade, hygienic materials
- Fixed or removable mounting options
- Consistent sampling ratio for repeatable measurement
Milk Yield Measurement for Dairy Herd Recording
Regular use of an individual cow milk meter can help dairy operators record production, compare cow performance, identify low- or high-yield animals, support breeding decisions and improve feed and herd-management planning based on measured production.
Suitable Milking Systems
The Delmer Visual Milk Meter is designed for a range of dairy parlour configurations, including:
- Herringbone milking parlours
- Parallel milking systems
- Rotary milking systems
- Systems using Automatic Cluster Removers (ACR)
Mounting arrangements can be selected for flat surfaces or pipes while maintaining the required horizontal alignment for reliable visual reading.
Milk Sampling and Operation
- Milk yield is read directly from the calibrated measuring flask
- Representative milk samples can be collected using the integrated three-way tap
- Open and closed flask configurations support different testing requirements
- A built-in ball valve helps limit excess air intake when removing the flask
Cleaning and Maintenance
The Delmer Visual Milk Meter supports Clean-In-Place (CIP) washing and can also be cleaned manually. Regular inspection and periodic checking help maintain long-term measurement performance.
Visual Milk Meter vs Automatic Milk Meter
A visual milk meter provides a direct physical reading from a calibrated flask and is suited to farms that want straightforward individual cow milk-yield measurement and sampling. An automatic milk meter is better suited to operations that require electronic data capture, automated reporting or integration with herd-management software.
Best Suited For
- Commercial dairy farms
- Herd recording and milk testing programs
- Dairy breeding operations
- Dairy research institutions
- Dairy consultants and livestock professionals
