Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for measuring flow of liquid based on a contact resistance measurement working inside the flow, containing a high degree of precision and robustness and characterized by a low cost price, simple subsequent assembly and easy cleaning. According to the invention, the liquid is vertically scanned e.g. by means of segmented electrodes or optical systems having vertical resolution, only one section of the vertical segments is scanned for effective use of the measuring device. The vertical segments which are to be scanned are derived from the post values of the scanning and from a reference profile which contains, for example the number of phases in the flow of liquid.

Abstract: A rotary milking parlor milker detacher having a pivoting support arm and retracting chain arrangement that is synchronized with a rotating platform position to move the detacher between a storage position, a presentation position, and a milking position to protect the detacher from damage and provide a superior ergonomic design that reduces operator fatigue and turnover.
