northeastern Ohio | The problem with the Germania weigh jars is the fact that they have a LOT of gasket area exposed to the milk compared to your DeLaval jars. Gasket degrades and gives bacteria a place to hide. Then your bacteria counts get high and you lose quality bonus and your milk buyer is not happy.
Here is a company that seems to specialize in Germania takeoffs and might be able to answer questions about other Germania stuff: https://www.techforag.com/
You mention DHI, so you will need to find meters or jars that are ICAR approved for weight accuracy. In my old parlor, we just had the DHI tech bring their own meters once a month. I think they were made by Tru-Test or Waikato. You can get new ones for $500 each or might find some used ones for significantly less. https://hambydairysupply.com/92-lb-waikato-milk-meter-for-cows-with-...
Or go electronic for about the same price.
