Features and advantages
Trouble-free performance
The DeLaval milking cluster MC30 is for small to mid-sized dairy operations. MC30 will meet the demands of producers milking less than ten hours a day or with cows producing less than 26,000 lbs per lactation.
Fast flow capacity
The MC30 handles higher milk flows than most other clusters by utilizing a bottom unloading design. The 250 ml claw (8.5 ounce) features a big milk outlet to handle high milk flows efficiently and safely, minimizing unwanted cross-flows and milk plugs. Vacuum fluctuations are reduced under high milk flows by 1/2" claw milk inlets.
Design innovations
MC30 has an optional automatic shut-off valve that protects milk quality during accidental cluster kick-offs.
Safe to use
It also has a transparent plastic claw bottom that makes it easy to see milk flow and helps reduce the risk of over-milking. An optimized liner design gives even and safe milk delivery to the claw. The short milk tube's diameter well exceeds current industry standards and greatly reduces the risk of milk plugs or cross-flows.
Milker and cow comfort
This all round, no frills cluster features fast flow capacity. It is simple to use and cost-effective to operate. The MC30 is designed to fit nicely in the hand and is easy to work with. This reduces milker stress and fatigue. The vacuum can be started and stopped with one hand.
The cluster is well balanced and fits comfortably on the cow to reduce animal stress during milking. DeLaval liners and shells are designed to stimulate the teats and encourage fast milk let-down for quicker milk-outs. The range includes liners specifically designed for Jersey breeds. The MC30 provides a comfortable milking routine by reducing slips, squawks and unit adjustments.
