A milking plant for milking animals, such as cows, wherein milk collecting means, preferably in the form of teat cups, are attached to the teat of the animal whereafter milk is taken from the animal by use of vacuum. The milk is transported by a milk line system (31) to milk storage means comprising a cooling tank (30). For cleaning purposes the milk line system from each milk collecting means can be shut off from the milk tank by valve means (32) in order for separate cleaning of the milk line system. The invention is characterised by preventing any possible leakage of detergent from a cleaning fluid to the milk that has been collected in the milk tank, by providing a pressure difference between the two fluids. The pressure difference between the fluids is preferably achieved by connecting the cleaning fluid to the vacuum supply (4) of the milking plant.

Cette invention a trait à une installation de traite conçue pour la traite d'animaux, de vaches notamment, les dispositifs permettant de recueillir le lait, de préférence sous forme de gobelets de trayeuse, étant fixés aux tétines de l'animal et le lait étant extrait par dépression. Le lait est transporté par un système de conduite (31) vers un équipement de stockage comprenant une cuve de refroidissement (30). Aux fins du nettoyage, le système de conduite de lait de chaque dispositif de collecte du lait est isolé de la cuve de stockage de lait par un système de clapet (32) et ce, afin de procéder au nettoyage dudit système de conduite du lait. Le procédé selon l'invention se caractérise par le fait qu'il permet d'éviter tout transfert de détergent dans le lait stocké dans la cuve et ce, par la création d'une différence de pression entre les deux liquides. On crée cette différence de pression, de préférence, en reliant le liquide de nettoyage à la source de vide (4) de l'installation de traite.
