Business Digest Highlights
Conewango introduces the Evolution RST-Driver
The RST-Driver is a new liner from Conewango Products Corp. Also known as the RST140N, the liner features a transitional barrel shape that minimizes mouthpiece vacuum and provides the advantage of a non-round liner for superior teat-end health. It also provides a perfect positive seal to keep pulsation lines clean and pulsators operating at top speed. The liner is vented in the milk tube, not the mouthpiece, to minimize chamber turbulence. A non-vented option is planned for a later launch.
