If you're milking by hand right now and your herd has grown past what one person can manage before their arm gives out, the 150 LPM Monoblock is usually the first machine we recommend. "Monoblock" means the vacuum pump and motor are built as a single compact unit rather than a separate pump station — it takes up less shed space, it's easier to move between milking points, and there's less plumbing between components to maintain.
At 150 litres-per-minute vacuum pump capacity, this unit is sized correctly for a single cluster (one bucket, one set of teat cups) rather than being underpowered for a bigger job — a common mistake is buying a large double-bucket machine "to be safe" when the vacuum reserve actually needs to match the number of clusters running, not just herd size. For 1–5 cows milked one at a time, 150 LPM is the efficient, correctly-sized choice.
This is the machine most of our first-time buyers in Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, and Andhra Pradesh start with before scaling up to a 2-in-1 or double-bucket unit as their herd grows. Every unit is manufactured at our Bangalore facility and shipped both across India and to international buyers — smallholder-scale machines like this one are also popular with first-time export orders from neighboring South and Southeast Asian markets where herd sizes are similar to India's.
