New MM100 milk meter delivers faster milking, improved vacuum stability, and actionable herd insights for dairy producers.

Earlier this year, DeLaval introduced the Milk Meter MM100, its latest innovation for conventional milking systems. Designed to enhance performance and provide actionable insights, the MM100 joins DeLaval’s growing lineup of milk meters and sensor technologies aimed at helping producers maximize productivity.

The MM100 features enhanced FreeFlow™ technology, which includes a larger channel and improved vacuum stability. These upgrades translate into faster milking and increased throughput, giving producers a valuable edge in efficiency.

Beyond speed, the MM100 delivers critical data by measuring milking time, flow, and conductivity. These metrics allow farmers to make informed decisions about herd health and milk production, ensuring timely interventions and optimized performance.

DeLaval continues to lead in dairy innovation with tools that complement the MM100, including Flow-Responsive™ Milking, the Evanza™ Milking Cluster—named 2024 New Product of the Year by Agri Marketing Magazine—and Milking Automation MA 200 and MA500. Together, these solutions help producers get the most out of their operations.

Efficiency and data-driven decision-making are critical for modern dairy operations. Faster milking reduces labor time and improves cow comfort, while real-time data on flow and conductivity helps identify health issues early, such as mastitis or irregular milk production.

By combining the MM100 with other DeLaval technologies, producers can optimize throughput, enhance herd health, and ultimately improve profitability.
