What Milk Care covers
Lely Milk Care covers four areas of the milking and cleaning process: Astronaut heat cleaning, milk tank cleaning, brush cleaning and milk filtering. Each area has dedicated consumables developed for its specific role within the process.
Proper internal cleaning of the Lely Astronaut is essential for high quality milk production and the longevity of the robot. The milking robot features a unique heat-cleaning system for fast and effective cleaning. This system in combination with the Lely Astri cleaning range helps maintain the hygiene of your robot and milk quality. The Lely Astri range complies with food safety regulations and meets the required specifications for the Lely Astronaut.
We offer various solutions for cleaning the milk tank, allowing you to choose the option that best suits your needs. During the development of our tank cleaning products, we considered the environment, organic livestock farming, the technical specifications and the requirements imposed by local authorities and milk processors.
To produce high-quality milk, it is essential to maintain the cleanliness of the pretreatment brushes on your Lely Astronaut. Clean brushes can help prevent cross-contamination and contribute to optimal hygiene. Lely Astronaut Brush cleaning products are developed to help ensure fast and effective cleaning.
Milk filters play an important role in maintaining a hygienic milking process. They filter out any contamination that may come from the Lely Astronaut. It is important to replace these filters in a timely manner to ensure that they function correctly.

Safety first
Chemical safety and storage
At Lely, we consider the safety of people and cows our top priority. Chemicals can be dangerous goods, meaning it is important to know how to properly handle these products both when in use and also when in storage. This handling and use may also vary according to your situation.
Every situation is unique. Just think of local laws and regulations which can differ by country: they can even mean something different for your farm and for your neighbour’s farm. Meeting these requirements isn’t always black and white, so it is important to understand the reasoning behind them to be able to apply them to your own situation, to ensure a safe situation for you, your family, employees, cows and the environment.
