Product Overview
A piston type portable milking machine is a compact bucket milking unit designed for farms that need a simple and movable milking solution. It is different from a fixed milking parlor because it does not require a permanent installation layout, making it more suitable for small farms, family dairy farms, goat farms, sheep farms, and mixed livestock operations.
This model is available in Type I single bucket and Type II double bucket configurations. Type I is suitable for lower daily milking volume and compact barn use, while Type II is designed for farms that need two-bucket operation and higher daily milking efficiency.
The machine combines a piston pump, motor, gearbox, vacuum gauge, stainless steel air storage tank, pressure regulator valve, milk claw, teat cups, food-grade liners, milk and air tubes, stainless steel milk bucket, and mobile trolley frame.
Compared with manual milking, this portable piston milking machine helps reduce labor intensity, improve routine consistency, and keep milk collection more enclosed. It is especially useful for buyers who need a compact, economical, and easy-to-maintain milking machine for small herd operation.
