to prime vacuum
Milking systems need vacuum for sucking milk from animals and to convey the milk to a main point of storage (generally a fridge).
Vacuum pumps or blowers can be used to prime vacuum in these systems, vacuum pumps are preferred if sucked air is mixed with milk which can prime acid condensate, blowers are preferred if the air is dry.
