Transfer from milking
Positioned near the milking parlour or robot, the unit collects milk intended for calves and transfers it to the SmartTank.
Förster-Technik · MilkCollector & SmartTankFrom milking
From milking
to calves.
Milk follows its route.
Bring milk collection, transfer and chilled storage together in a system planned around your automatic calf feeder.
Collect. Store.
Prepare the feed.
Chilled storage
Near the feeder, the tank temporarily stores milk at 4–6°C.
Portions for calves
The feeder draws milk, heats it and prepares portions according to the feeding plan.
MilkCollectorConnect the milking area
Connect the milking area
to the calf barn.
The manufacturer specifies a pipeline of up to 100 metres. After transfer, water rinsing and draining with pulsed compressed air are automated.
The achievable distance and connections are checked during the assessment of your installation.

Assessing your project
Start with your milk route.
Where is the milking area? How much milk is intended for calves? What route connects the buildings? This information helps AGYE plan the layout with you.
Also provide your feeder model, existing equipment and feeding routines. Photographs and a site plan will help with the first discussion.
Describe my installation
Plan a coordinated installation.
Do MilkCollector and SmartTank have the same role?
No. MilkCollector handles collection and transfer; SmartTank provides chilled storage near the feeder. They are presented together to explain the complete milk route.
Is my automatic feeder compatible?
The documentation for this system mentions VARIO smart. Compatibility of your model and configuration must therefore be confirmed with AGYE before defining the project.
How do I choose SmartTank capacity?
Prepare details of milk volumes available after milking, calf requirements and how feeds are spread throughout the day. AGYE will review these with you.
