2 DESCRIPTION OF THE DEVICE

General features 2.1

The ACR-Smart panel is designed to control all the milking, detachment and washing functions of the unit.
The ACR-Smart is able to control the milking frequency and the pulsation ratio in a wide range of values in

order to meet the needs of all systems (both in the high line and low line) and of all types of animals (cattle ­sheep - goats).

The ACR-Smart is able to perform a stimulation that can be forced, automatic (dependent on the flow of milk)
or manual (activated directly by the milker at any time).

The panel is compatible with swing-over systems in which the unit is detached by moving the arm. In fact,
with the ACR-Smart you can control the pneumatic cylinder responsible for moving the unit from the right
hand row to the left hand row and vice versa.

It is suitable for milk transport systems thanks to the alarm indicating the end of the milking process and the
possibility to restart the panel from the last active stage.

The ACR-Smart can be connected to remote start-up devices (AutoStart) and remote stop devices (Quick Lift
Line).
