SAC has been in the milking machine busi-ness since 1938. Since the foundation ofSAC in 1938 and until now, an immensedevelopment has taken place for the individu-al milk producer – the farmer. Productionefficiency has gone up dramatically with theincrease in production, and at the same timethe milk producers have faced increaseddemand for milk quality from regulators andconsumers. This development has led to aconsolidation amongst farmers as well assuppliers of milking equipment.
This development also implies that the milkproducers are in constant need of more effici-ent and sophisticated production equipment.Today, microprocessors are worn by the mil-ker and the cow and they are installed allover in the milking parlor. The managementprograms handle and sort the huge amountsof data which are constantly gathered. This isdone intelligently so that only relevant andnecessary data, which requires action fromthe milker or the farm manager, are provided.Hereby, order and structure is created out of

comprehensive and chaotic information, andthe milker is able to act rationally with a mini-mum of resources. Since the foundation,SAC has been part of this development andis today strongly positioned on the world mar-ket as one of the few global full-line suppliers.
SAC has had the advantage of having a dom-estic market whith a tradition of enforcing someof the world’s strictest rules and regulations formilking quality and food safety. This fact, toget-her with the fact that our milk producers are
among the best and most efficient in the world,makes us experts in handling high demands forefficiency and quality and cover these demandswith new and innovative solutions for the far-mer, for the benefit of our Danish and – since1948 - international customers. Almost 75 yearshave passed since we started – we lookforward to the next 75.

Since the establishment in 2002 Ihave had no maintenance costsof the rotary except from a slidefor the texas door and after themounting of IDC 3, the costs ofthe milking plant have been low.The total bacterial count is 10-15,000, and the cell count is150,000. The plant is furnishedwith SAC energy-saving equip-ment , and the energy expensesare about the half of other com-parable parlours.
Peder MouritsenNørre Nebel, VardeDenmark
The cell count has alwaysbeen low because from thebeginning, the Stenalt live-stock consisted of quite youngmilking goats with low cellcount. The low cell count stillexists. The total bacterialcount is always below 10.000.The mounting of IDC for goatsin 2010 has caused a consi-derable reduction of main-tenance costs.

A historical overview of SAC since 1938until today shows that throughout the yearsSAC has known to develop the business,for example by expanding from a DKbased company to becomming a globalplayer.
Today, SAC is one of the few milkingmachine producers on the world market
with a full-line equipment program. Like-wise, it is clear that innovation in productdevelopment is at a high level.
SAC has understood to profit from the factthat already in 1967 the Scandinaviancountries started the standardization work‘Nordic Recommendations for MilkingMachines’, which appeared in a printed

version in 1971. This work led to the firstISO standards in 1989.
The fact that SAC has participated active-ly in this process with staff and researchhas resulted in SAC milking machineshave always been living up to the latestinternational standards. In the develop-ment work, there has always been an
awareness that high functional quality andmilking machine reliability have been theway to obtain the position as one of thefew full-line global players.
A position that our motto can be ascribedthe honour of : - If there's anything wecan do for the good of the cow, the milkand the operator, we'll do it!
imagebrochure 2012 GB 12/11/12 9:38 Side 7
SAC’s motto - If there's anything we cando for the good of the cow, the milk andthe operator, we'll do it! has been aclear guiding star in all innovation worksince the words were declared in 1938by the founder of the company.
This clear and adequate motto makes iteasy for each individual employee to
test ideas and results of developmentwork, to see if it lives up to the needs ofthe cow, the milk and the milker.
During the last few years, these idealshave been used frequently in relation tofurther development of the SAC mana-gement systemso that it, in an intelligentway, presents the data gathered from

inline measuring of behavior, yield,health and life cycle of the cow andmeasuring of the quality of the milk.
This means that the managementsystem directs the milker’s attention tothe factors which ensure healthy highyield cows which give the milker an opti-mum economy of the livestock.
To the full, SAC knows the importanceof a forward-looking successful innovati-on environment, and this can be obtai-ned only when milkers and cattle resear-chers are natural parts of the develop-ment work, and when all innovation livesup to the message of SAC’s motto: - Ifthere's anything we can do for the goodof the cow, the milk and the operator,we'll do it!

When SAC was founded in 1938 it waseasy to be a full-line supplier.
The choice of machines on the marketconsisted of very few variants of bucketmachines, and right from the beginningSAC was a full-line supplier. Since then,the milking herds have expanded from 4to 12 cows to several thousands.
In this course, the development has moved
from bucket machines to pipeline milkingin tie-up stalls in cowhouses to robotplants. Within each of the three maincatagories: tie-up stalls, cowhouses androbot milking, a number of milkingsystems have been developed which con-sider different needs and philosophies.
During all of the years, SAC has been anactive organization which has constantlydeveloped the demanded equipment from

the simplest, small systems to the mostsophisticated, large systems.
So our costumer can be a farmer in a cot-tage as well as a manager of an industrialfarm who is able to monitor everythingonline from each single milkings to thewhole livestock via the SAC managementsystem.
Within types of milking parlours alone, there
are more than 36 models of types of mil-king systems, and furthermore, there aredifferent sizes and variations of equipment,so in reality, there are thousands of vari-ants. In order to control the many types ofmilking systems, SAC has developed aconfigurator, which in a simple way crea-tes manageability and order. This enablesSAC to offer and deliver exactly what theindividual customer wants.

10 years after the foundation, SAC star-ted the first export to Finland in 1948.
Since then, SAC has expanded theexport to Scandinavia and the rest ofEurope. At the same time as the inventi-on of the automatic remover, SAC setup a business in Japan. After that, thewhole world has become our work place.
Today SAC can be found in more than58 countries all over the world throughimporters and their network of agentsand technicians. They attend to sale,installation and service. Through contin-uous education of the importers’ sales,installation and service staff, SAC is inclose contact with customers worldwide.

In Europe, SAC has a well-developednetwork of agents and importers so thattoday the company can be found inalmost all EU countries. For manyyears, the company has been in Asiaand South America where by now consi-derable market shares have been rea-ched.
SAC has produced a large number ofmilking plants to governments in manycountries, among others Russia, Iran,Pakistan, Syria, Tunisia, the Emirates,Egypt and Estonia. Likewise, SAC hassupplied several UN relief organizationswith milking plants and equipment.

The milk producers have moved fromhand milking two times a day to the useof milking plants controlled by micropro-cessors; plants that milk thousands ofcows 24 hours, and today our customerscan be found all over the world.
This means that the service offered bySAC has been adapted to global conditi-ons. Today it is standard to have preven-tive maintenance of day-and-night mil-
king units in order to avoid unintendedstoppage. SAC makes this work easierby being able to offer service packagesadapted to the working time of the indivi-dual plants.
If luck runs out in case of lightning or thelike, it is important that the actual con-struction of the milking plant is built sothat it ensures the best possibilities forcontinuing to milk.

SAC’s new IDC system has a control hie-rarchy which ensures that an underlyingcontroller keeps working if the computercrashes. If the controller is destroyed,theIDC will be powered by the power supplyof the hierarchy. If this too is destroyed,the IDC can continue milking powered bya car battery.
In addition to a normal 24 hour accessibi-lity every day all year round, SAC is able
to offer a video system which servicestaff all over the world can connect to. Inthis way SAC is able to follow the custo-mer closely and guide him directly allover the world day and night.

With pride we can say that our founderwas far-seeing when he expressed ourmotto in 1938, when SAC was founded.
The old virtues which are implied inSAC’s motto - If there's anything we cando for the good of the cow, the milk andthe operator, we'll do it! will continue toprevail in SAC’s continuous developmentof products and service.
We feel like Jules Verne when (in 1865)he wrote ‘From the Earth to the Moon’,(in 1869) ‘Twenty Thousand LeaguesUnder the Sea’ and about 150 years ago,(in 1872), ‘Around the World in EightyDays’: he was more than a hundredyears ahead of his time.
We are also imaginative, curious andcrazy about combining the latest techno-

logy within the technical sciences withcommunication and research in cattle far-ming for future products.
It is an exciting challenge that we have aclear notion of our future products, butsometimes we must wait for the neces-sary technologies to be ready for use incommercial relations.
In this way, we are always ready to seizethe latest technological possibilities anduse them so that we transform imaginati-on to new products and service whichfully live up to our old motto: - If there'sanything we can do for the good of thecow, the milk and the operator, we'll doit!

In the development work, SAC has alwaysmade sure that new products operate withas little consumption of energy and otherresources as possible, and that they pollu-te as little as possible.
Examples of this can be found in the fol-lowing products/functions:
- SAC stops the pulsators when the cow has been milked so that a full profit of aSAC frequency control of the vacuum pump can be obtained
- SAC uses its own produced impeller milk pump which, with a SAC frequency control of the milk pump, can be speed regulated so that a full profit of the SAC plate cooler, fitted on the pump wire, is obtained. The milk is cooled to 0.5 degrees Celsius above the entry tempe-rature of the cooling water.
- SAC has developed a washing unit which can save up to about 40% of thewater consumption that other washing units of the market use. The washing

unit can be set to complete only one flushafter milking, and then complete the wholewashing at a time when the power price islow. Furthermore, the washing unit canensure that no cooling and washing takesplace at the same time so that the maxi-mum ampere consumption is minimized.
Taken together, SAC can save 40% onwash water consumption
Taken together, SAC can save 50% onenergy for vacuum
Taken together, SAC can save 79% onenergy for milk cooling
EnergiTjenesten, an independent andimpartial energy consultancy company, hascalculated that using a SAC energy productcompared with standard products will provi-de an annual saving in EU-25 of 433 mill.Euros or 3,225 mill Danish kroners.
