INFLATIONS FLO-TEK NO.1 (BOX) DAVIES 0438/1

Install the Flo-Tek No.1 liner into the teatcup shell, ensuring proper alignment with no twisting—even a 1/8 turn can disrupt the milk:massage cycle. Check that the liner bore diameter matches your cows' teat size for optimal fit and milk flow. Before each milking, visually inspect the liner for signs of wear such as flex cracking or barrel distortion. Replace liners according to your herd's milking schedule: divide 2,500 milkings by (number of cows × milkings per day ÷ number of bails) to calculate your replacement interval in days. Tips: Verify liner alignment at every milking to maintain the proper milk:massage cycle and reduce mastitis risk. Monitor for early warning signs of wear including increasing cup slip, longer milking times, and new mastitis cases—don't wait for the scheduled replacement date if these appear. Keep detailed records of liner installation dates and monitor somatic cell counts to catch wear before it impacts herd health.
