For nearly all milking machine cleaning methods an adequate supply of hot water is necessary. Water heaters vary from simple free standing insulated or uninsulated tanks filled with a hose and manual control to insulated tanks automatically filled and heated at predetermined times. The water capacity required is dependant on the washing system used(hand or in-place cleaning) and the number of units to be washed. 2, record 1, English, - water%20heater

The tandem parlour usually has two to six stalls at each side of the pit. There are two types of tandem parlours, namely the side-gate type and the walk-through type. The side-gate type has entrance and exit gates on the one side of each milking stall, that can be operated by hand or hydraulics.
