gently – Reducing the milking time may actually be the real definition of gentle milking.
quickly – Prep the udder effectively and don’t expose the teat to long periods of high vacuum, at the beginning or at the
end of milking, for better teat health and faster milking.
Completely – Expect high performance and complete milkout with a liner that’s right for your vacuum levels. The ideal liner
balances liner slippage and faster milking.
BouMatic and “milkability”
milkability goal #1
Excellent initial and continuing milk letdown. This requires consistent milking procedures, consistent attachment
procedures, and consistent unit alignment. The best measure of this goal is the amount of milk produced in the
first two minutes.
milkability goal #2
Rapid milk flow for the entire milking to minimize unit on time or milking duration. This requires consistent udder
preparation and prompt removal upon cessation of milk flow. Typically this means wetter take off settings will be
utilized. The best measure for this is average flow in pounds per minute.
milkability goal #3
Avoid over-milking. Over-milking occurs two times during a
typical milking. If cows are not prepped properly there will be
over-milking shortly after the units are attached due to low
flow conditions. When take off settings are not adjusted
properly, there can be significant over-milking at the end of
the milking sesson.
“ The milking machine should remove available milk from the cow’s udder gently, quickly and completely.” the Boumatic milking principle

Magnum™ M LinersMagnum M Liner Series (U.S. patent #6,631,694). The “M” has a mouthpiece
opening that is 2mm larger compared to the standard Magnum liner. Another
unique feature of the “M” is the tapered barrel to accommodate a wider range
of teat sizes.
The Magnum M liner is designed to reduce congestion or edema (redness and
swelling in the mouthpiece area) while milking a wider range of teat sizes.
The “M” liner will be a good choice in herds with larger teats, accustomed to
European medium bore liners, or using thin wall liners.
The 400M should have fewer slips than the 500M; the 500M should milk out faster than the 400M. The 400M is
best suited for lower claw vacuum systems (11.8-12.0 in. Hg) (38.0-40.6 kPa). The 500M is better suited for higher
claw vacuum systems (12.0-12.5 in. Hg) (40.6-42.0 kPa) combined with excellent cow prep. The 600M is intended
for Excellent Progressive Dairy Managers who understand less unit “on time”, and higher average claw vacuums
(12.5-12.7 in. Hg) is gentle, complete and quick milking.
Magnum M Liner series: the easiest, smartest Choice for progressive dairy producers
• Helps reduce liner slips
• Faster milking
• Better milkout
• Heavy-duty and high performance
• Less twisting in the shell
Critical points dairy operators need to consider when choosing a liner:
1. What are your goals in the milking parlor? Fewer squawks, faster milking, more complete milkout
or something else?
2. Is your pulsation system operating properly?
3. Have you graphed each pulsator in the last month?
4. Does system vacuum level stay within an acceptable range?
5. What are your takeoff settings?
6. What is the general size of the teats on your cows?
7. How are teats and udders prepared for milking?
8. Are there periods of limited milk flow signaling inadequate let down?
9. How heavy is the milking claw you’re using?
Take time during milking to observe these important points and your liner selection will be better matched
to your cows and your dairy operation.

Unique features of Magnum M Liners
• A series of liners with patented progression in lip thickness of the mouthpiece, and rib-
supported wall thickness of the liner barrel which yield predictable performance differences.
• You and your Dealer/Dairy Consultant evaluate and choose what works for your cows.
• Improved mouthpiece contact area keeps liners from twisting. A twisted liner compromises
pulsation, proper teat massage, and milking speed.
• Ribs on the outer barrel wall help maintain liner tension and integrity through the entire
1200 cow milking (90 wash) life of liner.
• Heavy-duty structure. The Magnum M liner has 22% more rubber than other premium liners.
• Fits all BouMatic milking units and stainless steel shells.
• Available with Jet-Vent™ option, BouMatic’s patented (U.S. Pat. 6,055,931) vent
designed to shed dirt and small particles that plug other liner vents.
How do you Know Which Liner provides the Best Balance of Reduced slippage and Higher milking speed for your Herd?
• Magnum 400M will have fewer slips than Magnum 500M or 600M.
• Magnum 600M will milk faster than the Magnum 400M or 500M.
• Magnum 400M is best for lower system vacuum levels.
• Magnum 600M is best for higher system vacuum levels combined with excellent cow-prep procedures.
• The recommended liner for most installations would be the 500M. If the 500M results in excess slippage,
we recommend changing to the 400M. For faster milkout, change to 600M.

LinersBouMatic LinersThe preferred BouMatic liners are mostly one piece round narrow bore liners, designed for North American
dairies. One piece liners are designed to fit the BouMatic Standard Stainless Steel Shell or the Visi-Shell with the
Visi-1 Cap™. These narrow bore liners are gentle and have outstanding milk-out characteristics. The “Expected
Liner Life” is 1200 cow-milkings. Liner usage should not exceed six months. Preferred BouMatic liners can be
grouped into two categories of emphasis:
• Faster milking liners
• Low slippage liners
Faster Milking Linersgood all-around performance
The R-1C, R-1D and R-2CV are similar in design and have the same milking
characteristics. The mouthpiece, the barrel and all other liner design parameters
are exactly the same for all three of these liners, providing minimum restriction
for faster milk-out. The only difference is in the short milk tube. These are
all well proven liners designed to milk North American style cows, with good
all-around performance.
R-1C Liner• Features a milk
tube reinforcement that bends over the claw nipple to shut off air flow while attaching the milking unit
• Designed to fit any of the BouMatic Visi-Claws• Available with an optional milk tube air vent, if desired
R-1d Liner• Has the same
proven barrel and mouthpiece design and dimensions as the R-1C liner but has a larger milk tube to accommodate the milk inlets of the Flo-Star Claw
• The milk tube features a sturdy reinforcement for demanding parlors• Also fits the Visi-Claws• Available with an optional milk tube air vent, if desired
R-2CV Liner• This two piece liner has the same
proven mouthpiece and barrel as the R-1C and R-1D liners
• Designed to fit only the Visi-Shell

BouMatic Liners continued
Low Slippage Linersfits Flo-Star Claws or Visi-Claws
The R-1E and RF-1 liners are recommended for those dairies where liner
slippage is an issue. These liners are molded from a harder liner compound
than the R-1C and R-1D. This compound has very low swell characteristics
which helps reduce mouthpiece distortion, which maintains consistent milking
performance and results in less performance difference between an old and
new set of liners. Both feature a “Double Seal” mouthpiece that will
accommodate a wide range of teat sizes without being constrictive to milk
flow on larger teats. Designed to fit either Flo-Star Claws or Visi-Claws.
Available with or without Jet-Vent air vents.
R-1e Liner• Has a thinner
liner barrel wall and is well suited for dairies with a low vacuum level setting
• Has a slightly larger barrel bore diameter for herds with large average sized teats ( 23-24 mm herd average)
Rf-1 Liner• Our famous
seven-sided liner with the same design and milking characteristic of the silicone Flo-Star liner
• An ideal choice for producers interested in a liner that promotes teat massage
• Patented, (U.S. patent # 5,069,162) fluted design of the barrel of the RF-1 provides additional massage
• As the liner closes, it collapses to form an irregular shape that provides even pressure on the teat end
• More teat massage means less congestion, resulting in a more consistent milk flow

Pulse-O-Rater™ *
independent (non-network) microprocessor• Continuously analyzes the rate, ratio, vacuum level and A, B, C & D
phases of pulsation performance at one pulsator/milking unit• Monitors all major brand electronic and pneumatic pulsators• Four monitoring tolerance levels are available to accommodate
opeartor preferences and vacuum system condition• Simple Green/Red Signal-Light indicates whether
pulsation performance is within specified tolerance• Red flash patterns signal a pulsation issue detected• Remote Signal-Light available for pulsators installed
within cabinets or basements• Pulse-O-Rater is factory configured for 24-volt
AC or DC operation• Internal jumper (included) enables reconfiguration
to 12-volt AC or DC operation• Electrical current consumption for Pulse-O-Rater
without Remote Signal-Light is equal to 1/12 of a BouMatic pulsator
• Consult Pulse-O-Rater Installation Instructions or Product Profile 12E-275A-0403 for additional information
typical parlor installation methods and power supply Requirements:
Electrical power can be provided by BouMatic pulsation controller at one Pulse-O-Rater per pulsator except the following installations that require an independent power supply:
• All installations of PN3558218, Pulse-O-Rater with Remote Signal-Light
• Installations where pulsators cycle on and off with detacher attach/detach cycles
• Parlors with other than BouMatic brand pulsators
ordering information for parlor installations:
