Poul Tarp Inc has been the market leader in the development of flow metering and data acquisition systems for stationary and mobile installations for over 30 years.
Quality approved
Accuracy approved for payment
System approved
Improved accuracy
Provides accurate and independent measurement of milk collected and discharged.
Eliminates unfair supplier payments
Dipsticks have been proven inaccurate, but with our technology, the Supplier is paid for exactly the volume of milk received.
Faster pumping
Less load time. Saves valuable collection time as no data is manually recorded by the operator.
Representative sampling
No more quality issues. Automatic sampling for both supplier and load samples.
Eliminate human error
Zero data entry error by driver or admin personnel. The data transfer operation allows factories to consolidate data in real time and reduce the need for manual data entries and the possibility of human error that can occur.
Features that get the job done
- The in-built GPS module is used for tracking, supplier identification and factory location ensuring traceability of every gallon collected.
- A pressure sensor is used to detect vacuum that can cause cavitation which could lead to inaccurate volumes and damage to the equipment and product.
- Our computer has a very intuitive screen for drivers to quickly adapt to. And no paperwork is required throughout the process which dramatically reduces errors.
- A temperature sensor is used to monitor and record product temperature.
- A bubble detector that detects air bubbles during the collection process is used to ensure correct pump speed providing superior accuracy and higher flow rates.
- Additional conductivity sensors that can differentiate between milk, air and water is used to improve the accuracy of the milk volume counted, and an RPM sensor is used to control the speed of the pumps so that the collection speed is optimized without damaging the milk collected.
How the system works
Installing the system
The farm milk collection truck is fitted with a sophisticated milk flow metering and data acquisition system. At all times, the truck is connected to a remote server via the internet and data is being sent to and from the truck's computer. So when the truck arrives at a supplier farm, the computer uses GPS location software to advise the driver of the name and number of this supplier. The computer suggests how much milk should be collected based on the average collected over the previous three days. The driver can accept this volume of edit the volume on screen.

Better data leads to better management
Data is sent in near realtime from the trucks back to the processing plant. Management can see what volume of milk has been collected, whose milk has been collected, where the trucks are and how much milk has already been unloaded. The system provides a suite of reports for monitoring the collection of hot milk, or viewing the CIP history for each trailer to see if the CIP was conducted satisfactorily.
It's an Equitable Process
Everyone wins here – the farmer gets paid for exactly what is collected. The Dairy pays for exactly what is collected and the data is captured without any human intervention.
