Milking Inflations or liners for the milking of cows, sheep, goats or buffaloes. To further understand, read on.

Super Gentle!

                  HYBRID, the inflation that is rewriting the book.

The photo below is of a unique collapsing inflation shown in the collapsed (massage) position. Looking through the mouth piece and down the barrel of the Hybrid® inflation it becomes quite apparent why this part is as gentle as any part in the market today.

Three internal ribs in the shell lock the three external ribs of the inflation causing the inflation to collapse as a triangular part. When the inflation is drawn in for the massage phase (phase D) it will collapse with three walls coming in and cradle the teat end not pinch the very end as is found with most round inflations that will collapse on two sides with extreme pressure in the center at the teat end.

With many farms going to milking three times a day and some as high as four milkings a day more and more teat end damage has been seen!

Pricing is important but performance and longevity (outstanding teat ends, good milking speed and 6000 to 9000 ICM's) should be foremost on the dairyman's mind!

Giving your girls, family, and or farm employees the best product does not cost, it pays!
