In-Line Mastitis Detector

A simple, efficient detector for early warning of clinical mastitis. The detector is placed in the milk hose between the milker unit and the pipeline. All milk from the cow passes through the unit and is sampled for clots which are indicators of a mastitic condition. If at any time the detector screen becomes entirely coated by clots, the elongated slot in the center of the screen allows the milk to pass without any restriction. Even with mesh entirely blocked, the bypass maintains peak milk flow. The removable screen is easily cleaned. The mesh is made of stainless steel for strength, and coated with nonstick finish for cleaning ease. Cleans in place. Visible length when fitted: 3 in. Fits 5/8 in. tubing.
