Efficient Water Use for Floor Cleaning in Dairy Farms

Efficient water reuse in dairy farm cleaning reduces water consumption and wastewater volume. Pre-rinsing water, high in organic matter, is diverted directly to the wastewater system to prevent tank sedimentation. Water from washing and final rinsing stages is collected, stored in a 1000-litre tank, and reused for cleaning other farm areas. Suitable for both traditional and robotic milking systems, the system includes a pump, control system, and three-way valve. Total investment: €3,000. Benefits include cost savings, reduced wastewater tank size, and high cleaning efficiency using hot water and effective detergents.
