Milk meter MM15
The ICAR approved DeLaval MM15 accurately weighs milk and is not sensitive to air or flow disturbance. Its transparent, robust construction is designed to allow the downwards flow of milk at all times and it can be fitted with a combi-cover. This safe milk recording and sampling device is easy to calibrate and service.

Features
DeLaval milk meter MM15 accurately records milk yield, providing key data for optimal herd management. Milk flow is measured with extreme accuracy due to infrared light technology. This means that the milk flows straight through and there are no moving parts to restrict flow.
With no moving parts, the risk for breakdowns is minimized. The compact and solid design also makes measurement less vulnerable to disturbance – which maintains milk quality and gives you reliable milk yield information.
The four red digits on the display screen can be read from a distance to give a clear and accurate value of milk yield. DeLaval milk meter MM15 is internationally approved for milk yield recording and sampling by ICAR. The cover is a smart compliment to your milk meter, combining design simplicity with full protection.
DeLaval milk meter MM15 is optimized to work together with DeLaval milking point MP400. In this combination, DeLaval milk meter MM15 functions both as milk meter and flow sensor – informing the cluster remover precisely when clusters need to be removed. DeLaval milk meter MM15 is adaptable to all DeLaval cluster remover range: DeLaval milking point MP300; MP400; MPC and MP700.
DeLaval milking point MP400 gives perfectly timed and ultra smooth cluster take-off. These units are suitable for most types of parlour design.
DeLaval milk meter MM15 flow sensor allows for precision control. Programmable default values mean that cluster removal is performed at exactly the right time, to ensure optimal milking.
Advantages
- Milk is measured continuously without disturbing the milk or air flow.
- No electricity, float or flow stop is necessary.
- It does not depend upon a central computer.
- It is not sensitive to vibration during air blast cleaning.
- It has a low service cost.
- Information is displayed directly on the milk meter’s sealed unit.
- It is compatible with previous generations of products.
Total milk yield is a good indicator of gross income from milk sales. With DeLaval milk meter MM15, you can monitor day-to-day milk output and your herd’s overall milk production. Milk yield is also ‘the’ important variable when calculating feed rations. Individual cow rations are easier to set with accurate information provided by the DeLaval milk meter MM15.
With accurate milk recording, you are aware of each cow’s day-to-day milk yield and can react quickly if health problems threaten. DeLaval milk meter MM15 enables selection of cows by milk yield – allowing for improved breeding and herd management.
