Operation

4.2.1 Operation
The Shuttle sampling device is easily connected to the milk delivery line and compressed air system of the
Astronaut milking robot, enabling the milking robot to be set to automatically sample the milk from the
cows.
The Shuttle sampling device can be used with sample rack for 40 and 60 sample bottles. The sample rack
is suitable for taking samples of 10 ml (0.34 oz), 18 ml (0.61 oz), 30 ml (1.01 oz) and 50 ml (1.69 oz)
(intermediate volumes can be set). This makes the Shuttle sampling device highly versatile. If the cows are
to be milked by multiple milking robots, then each milking robot must be equipped with an individual
Shuttle sampling device.
If an Astronaut milking robot is milking an individual group of cows, then the various groups may also be
sampled one after the other.
