The Weycroft Macford company has been established since 1948, designing the VP milking machine in 1967, with its unique award winning combination of Vacuum and Pressure. The milk and pulsation systems were conventional with the milk being moved from the cluster to the recorder jar by vacuum. However the milk transfer and wash systems were powered by compressed air, alleviating the requirement for a receiver jar and milk pump, and providing a smooth and gentle transfer of the milk from the recorder jar to bulk tank.

The Parlour

In the milking parlour, the VP Control Valve allows the operator to switch between milking [vacuum], wash [pressure] and transfer [pressure], with the outlet valve below each jar providing the seal between vacuum and atmospheric pressure during the milking cycle.

The Dairy

In the dairy, the water heater is a pressurised cylinder controlled by a configuration of hand operated lever valves, delivering a mixture of hot water and cleaning chemical completely through the milking system, back down the delivery line and out through the repositioned clusters into the wash trough and to drain.

Whilst the complete milking system is no longer available, a few spares are still available to maintain the operation of these systems, but these are very limited in quantity.
