Premium quick-change milking parlour
This quick-change milking parlour is a milking parlour of which the fencing pivots up 72 degrees while changing, so that a broad exit path is created. This should give the cows enough space to exit the milking parlour calmly and seamlessly.
The entire construction consists of a framework to which the breast barrier has been attached by using a heavy hinge sleeve, resulting in a robust milking parlour that can also be installed in situations in which the walls are less stable. This is allowed by the ingenious portal frame which reduces the forces on the floor.
With this parlour, the cows enter the milking parlour one after the other. After the first cow opens a gate and has settled, a gap is created in which the next cow can place itself. By means of the unique shape of the gate, the cow will smoothly place itself as soon as it walks to its position, so that the milker can easily and optimally access the cow. The cows have got an individual position, which allows them to be milked quickly also when the milking parlour is only partially filled.
After a signal from the milker, the breast barrier between the cows will be lifted in a rotating way, in order to create a broad path in which the cows have enough space to exit the milking parlour smoothly and calmly.
By default, the Premium milking parlour is supplied with reliable pneumatic controls and is optionally available with silent hydraulic controls. If required, this milking parlour is also available with stainless steel feeding troughs. We have developed this milking parlour because of the growing demand for a robust milking parlour, suitable for a high milking capacity in a relatively small space. The central frame has been attached to the framework and is completely self-supporting, which is beneficial with respect to the cow’s accessibility. By default, this is protected by means of a stainless steel manure plate (manure gutter optional) and kick protection, so that the hygiene and safety of the milker will be ensured.
