Here’s an image of a milking machine—while it doesn’t show the specific component directly, it’s helpful to visualize where valves like the double-way valve are typically located within such systems.
A double-way valve—also known as a 2-way valve—is a simple flow control device used in milking systems to open or close the pathway through which milk (or vacuum/air) flows. It typically has two ports (an inlet and an outlet) and can function as an on/off shut-off valve to control flow as needed during milking operations.
Key Information:
-
In milking systems, these can appear as slide valves, rotary valves, or spool valves for directing milk flow.
-
Check valves also play a role in ensuring unidirectional flow—preventing backflow during vacuum-driven milking.
-
Double seat valves provide tight shut-off for critical control points.
