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

Why chose the Hybrid® Inflation?

                  HYBRID, the inflation that is rewriting the book.

There are many reasons for choosing the Hybrid® inflation! below are just a few.

1. Cow comfort is perhaps the main reason for choosing the Hybrid® inflation! the inflation compared to others in the market today is so gentle cows will require some extra prepping before milking for the first 2 weeks so the girls know it is time to start letting their milk down. The milking speed should return normal within several weeks. Odd but true.

2. The inflations made of silicone rubber have over the years proven to last anywhere from 6,000 ICM to 14,000 ICM depending on farm conditions and equipment being used. One Canadian farm that does not put a large number of milkings on each day but does wash twice a day has now gone over 730 days of use! Good chemical resistance.

3. The assemblies consist of an assembly which contains the shell/inflation and nipple all ultrasonically welded, along with air and milk tubes that can be replaced individually or as a entire unit. The assembly should last 6 to 14 thousand milkings however the milk tubes which can be removed for replacement may need to be changed at intervals of 3,000 milkings on steel nippled claws while on plastic nippled claws may only need to be changed at 4,500 milkings on up to 6,000 milkings. Several formulations and hardness's are available for the correct application of the milk tubes.

Crunch the numbers and you will find the cost benefit of the Hybrid® inflation over any other product on the market today.

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!
