GMB Claw Complete (2X2)

GMB CLAW COMPLETE (2X2)

The GMB Claw Complete 2 x 2 is designed for the Alternate pulsation system.
Constructed from stainless steel, the base is strong, durable, and effective.
The Alternating (2x2) system applies pressure to two teats while the other two are at rest. Then it alternates where the resting teats now have the pressure applied while the pressure is released from the other two teats. Bore sizes of 6-8mm are typical in the 2x2 alternate system.

Pulsation systems operate on the teats in two phases, milking or open phase and the resting or closed phase.

Milking or Open Phase: during this phase the pulsation chamber is vacuumed, air pressure is removed. When this happens the pressure in the udder is higher than the vacuumed milk tube which allows milk to flow from the teat.

Resting or Closed Phase: during this phase air is increased in the pulsation chamber which causes the liner wall to collapse or close the teat. This slows and stops the milk flow.

Pulsation aids in maintaining a high rate of milk flow from the teat within the different phases in the pulsation cycle This helps stimulate good milk let-down. Pulsation helps limit the level of congestion and oedema occurring in the teat tissues during machine milking which reduces the possibility of teat end damage (hyperkeratosis).
