Abstract: An improved high capacity milking claw comprising a top section removably connected to a bottom section to define a chamber that receives milk. A pressure manifold/collecting assembly attaches to the top section to flow milk into the chamber and connects to a vacuum system that draws milk from an animal. A bolt extends through a mounting stem in the bottom section to clamp the two sections together. Milk exits the chamber through a downwardly angled outlet. A transition area at the entrance to the outlet includes a scoop that extends below the lower end of the bottom section to increase the transition area and facilitate flow of milk from the chamber to achieve and maintain a stable vacuum. The scoop has a scoop length extending to the mounting stem, which is offset from the centerline of the bottom section to increase the size of the scoop.
