A roller of a support arrangement for a rotary milking platform, where the support arrangement includes a first rail member fixedly connected to the rotary platform, a second rail member stationarily arranged in a position below the platform, and a plurality of rollers arranged in a vertical space between the first rail member and the second rail member. Each roller includes a peripheral surface comprising a contact surface to be in contact with a contact portion of the first rail member and a contact portion of the second rail member. The peripheral surface of the roller includes two beveled surfaces arranged at opposite sides of the contact surface which are located at a smaller distance from a rotary axis of the roller than the contact surface.

Roller of a support arrangement for a rotary milking platform

An arrangement is provided in a milking system for simultaneous milking of a plurality of milking animals, wherein the milking system comprises a plurality of milking positions (P-P) and an arrangement for establishing identities of and expected milking times for the milking animals. Each of the milking positions is provided with teat cups, which are attached to the teats of a milking animal and are connected to a source of vacuum to milk the milking animal. The inventive arrangement comprises means () for determining a milking position, at which the milking animal having the longest expected milking time is present, based on the established identities and expected milking times; and a device () for performing an action with respect to the milking system in response to the determination.

Arrangement and method in a milking system

The present invention relates to a method for automatic separation of foremilk and/or milk not suitable for consumption from the milk line system of a milking plant and an apparatus for carrying out said method. A separating device ( ) is arranged at the ends of a milk line ( ) and a test milk line ( ), said milk lines being parallel. The separating device is designed with a damper means ( ) attached to a cup ( ). When milk is fed through the outlet ( ), the cup ( ) is filled up and its weight pivots the separating device from a first position, in which the inlet to a milk line ( ) is closed by means of the damper mean, to a second position, in which the milk in cup is poured into a test milk line ( ) and the damper means is lifted off the inlet ( ) to the milk line ( ).
