 Compass Plus

The direct route to safe cleaning.

Create clean conditions, of the highest standard:

Perfect cleaning and disinfecting of all milk-carrying parts are an absolute necessity for the production of clean raw milk with a low germ count. Anyone who skimps here will pay for it later with a lower milk price. With Compass Plus cleaning technology you can shorten cleaning times by up to 50% compared with conventional circulation cleaning systems. This increases your milking capacity, and lowers operating costs cause less power is consumed.

Compass Plus – the clean solution for your milking system. 

The Compass Plus Cleaning Control consists of three modules: Compass Plus Control, Compass Plus Dispensing Control and Compass Plus Storage Control. This concept of having Centres that are perfectly matched to each other is the solution for a cleaning system that will leave no deposits and ensure a low germ count. With crystal clear settings, such as the speed of the slugs of water in the line, the dispensing of the cleaning solution or the control of air admission (for reliable turbulence), Compass Plus will provide a crystal clear result.

Compass Plus makes clear settings measurable:


During the cleaning process, 25 – 30 slugs of water pass through the milk line. Compass Plus ensures that the correct solution flows through the lines at a speed of 7 – 10 metres per second to guarantee effective cleaning.


The Compass Plus Control Solution

separates water, chemicals and electronic functions to ensure a long service life and a high level of technical reliability.

But Compass Plus has even more to offer:

save money by choosing the most cost effective water heating system for your farm (e.g. electricity, oil, gas, bio-gas, heat exchanger or other heating system). The wash water can also be collected separately and used for a second application, e.g. cleaning the milking parlour.
