Farmers milk their cows using a milking parlour. The milking parlour consists of several components. Starting in the dairy (where the milk is stored in the tank) you have a vacuum pump, This provides the vacuum required to milk the cows, Then pipes now under a vacuum now go into the parlour. No the vacuum is split into two different pipes. One goes to the jars (the jars holds the milk before proceeding to the bulk tank (the big tank that holds the milk). The other pipe goes into the pulsator. The pulsator is the thing that draws the milk this is done by the cluster. The cluster or unit is the part that makes contact with the cow. This has a rubber liner. The rubber liner squeezes in and then relaxes this causes a drawing action and cause the milk to come out of the teat (The cows nipples). Now the other vacuum is in the jar the inside of that rubber liner is under vacuum aswell and as the liners draw out the milk from the teat the milk is sucked upthough the liner out the end and into the glass jars. Once the cow has finshed milking the cluster is removed and the milk gets sucked away to be cooled and then put into the bulk tank. Once all this is done the milk can now be collected and then its off to the shops ready for you.
