Tokarchuk Oleksiy – PhD, Associate Professor of the Department of “Technological Processes and
Equipment of Processing and Food Productions” of the Vinnytsia National Agrarian University (3,

Machine milking of cows is an important technological process of dairy farming. The advantages
of this process are a significant increase in the productivity of the milking machine operator and a
significant ease in its operation. However, there are disadvantages in the process of machine milking,
among which is the imperfection of milking equipment. This applies in particular to milk filters. Their
main disadvantages are poor performance and operating cost of replacing the filter element.
Based on the analysis of known design schemes, a new design of the milk filter was developed in
order to increase the efficiency of the operational parameters of the milking plant. The proposed design
meets the zootechnical requirements.
Using a developed milk filter will improve the quality of milk purification in the stream, while it
has a simple design and low operating costs for the replacement of the filter element. The structural
parameters of the proposed milk filter were calculated taking into account the hydraulic resistance of milk
passing through it. The parameters of the valve mechanism of the outlet branch pipe are determined as a
basis for the calculation of cylindrical springs of tension-compression under the action of hydraulic
pressure.
