Structure of the measurement
system
Basically, all TIGER measurement systems have the same structure (modu-
lar). They only differ slightly in the arrangement of the inlets and outlets. The
arrangement and design of the vacuum container can be varied according to
customer requirements. The vacuum container is not included in the delivery
scope of the TIGER.
When designing the vacuum container, make sure it can be cleaned in place
(CIP) and avoid any excessive suction (e.g. by means of shielding plates, see
4.4 Suggested design). Its minimum volume has to be 60 liters and it should
rather be dimensioned too large than too small. For the design of the con-
tainer, directive 2009/105 EC related to simple pressure vessels has to be
complied with.
It is important that the vacuum container is drained automatically under all
angles that the truck adopts during intake; for this purpose, it is mounted in a
slanted position. The hydraulic block and the coupling housing of the pump
have to be protected against milk or CIP fluid leaking out from the tap by
means of a suitable protective cover.
The pump and the level container have to be mounted in a tension-free and
vibration-damped way. It is important always to observe the basic dimensions
of the measurement system arrangement.
