INFLATIONS FLO-TEK NO.2 (BOX) DAVIESWAY 0438/2

Install the Flo-Tek No.2 inflation liners into clean, compatible milking shells, ensuring proper alignment with no twisting (even 1/8 turn misalignment compromises the milk:massage cycle). Check that the liner bore diameter matches your cows' teat size for optimal performance and milk flow. Replace liners according to the DairyNZ calculation: divide 2,500 milkings by (number of cows × milkings per day ÷ number of bails) to determine your replacement interval in days. Inspect liners before each milking for signs of wear, flex cracking, or barrel distortion. Tips: Monitor for early warning signs of liner wear including increased cup slip, longer milking times, and new mastitis cases—these indicate replacement is needed regardless of the scheduled interval. Keep spare liners on hand to minimise downtime, and always verify shell compatibility before installation. Proper liner alignment and correct bore sizing are critical to maintaining the effective massage cycle that prevents mastitis and ensures complete milk-out.
