Milking machines are devices used on farms to extract milk from dairy animals, primarily cows. They automate the milking process, making it faster and more efficient compared to traditional hand milking. The machine consists of a vacuum system that gently pulls milk from the udder through a series of tubes into a storage container. These machines typically have a few key components, including a milking claw, vacuum pump, and milk storage tank. They help maintain hygiene and reduce the risk of contamination, ensuring that the milk collected is safe for consumption. Milking machines have become essential in modern dairy farming.
