  • MQC-C Hose (20.5 cm) for Lely Astronaut

    The MQC-C Hose is a specialized, high-durability connection tube designed for the Manual Quick Connect (MQC) system on Lely Astronaut milking robots. At a precise length of 20.5 cm, this hose is engineered to facilitate the vacuum and milk flow path between the teat cups and the robot arm manifold.

    Key Features

    • Precision Length: The 20.5 cm cut is specifically calculated to allow for the full range of motion of the robot arm without kinking or creating excessive tension on the teat cups.
    • High-Grade Material: Manufactured from food-grade, flexible material (typically silicone or high-spec rubber) that resists the fats, acids, and high temperatures found in the milking and CIP (Clean-In-Place) cycles.
    • Vacuum Stability: Designed with a wall thickness that prevents collapsing under high vacuum, ensuring a consistent and stable milking profile for each quarter.
    • Easy Identification: As part of the MQC-C assembly, this hose is vital for the "C" (Common/Connection) lines of the robot's milk transport system.

    Maintenance Tip

    Bends and attachment points are the most common areas for wear. During your daily robot check, look for:

    • Small cracks or "crazing" in the material.
    • Fat buildup (yellowing), which can make the hose brittle.
    • Kinks that could restrict milk flow and trigger "Low Flow" alarms for specific quarters.
