1. How to clean a Green Generation milking machine

Instead of disassembling each piece, the Green Generation provided a smart and quick way:

1️⃣ Prepare a bucket with clean water and you can add a drop of special soap.

2️⃣ Place the suction heads inside the bucket.

3️⃣ Turn on the milking machine and let it draw water as if it were in milking mode.

✅ In this way, the internal pipes are cleaned automatically, keeping the device clean without any effort.


2. Weekly inspection of parts

  • Make sure the pipes are free of any blockages or cracks.
  • Check the suction valves and pressure elements.
  • Try the device for a short period without milk, to ensure consistent performance.


3. Periodic lubrication

  • If the device contains mechanical parts, refer to the user manual.
  • Use only the oils or greases recommended by the manufacturer.


4. Replacing worn parts

  • Monitor the device's performance, and if you notice a decrease in efficiency, check the ribs and tubes.
  • Replace any worn part with an original part.


5. Proper storage

  • After cleaning, store the device in a cool, dry place.
  • It is preferable to cover the device to protect it from dust and insects.
  • Do not leave the device exposed to sunlight or high humidity.


Benefits of good maintenance

  • Improving the quality of milk produced
  • Reduced breakdowns and maintenance costs
  • Animal comfort during milking
  • Longer device lifespan and a successful investment
