A milking parlour from GEA’s Dairy Parlour line can be perfectly adapted to the milking routine at your dairy farm. Do you need economical, basic milking equipment or high-tech automatization, continuous exchange with the herd management system or an option with rapid exiting? No matter whether you have a barn or pasture-based system with a small or large herd, every GEA milking system allows for efficient milking processes, high throughput and productive yields. Animal-friendly stall design, optimal cow positioning and a fast as well as gentle milking process have a positive effect on udder health. So, it almost becomes secondary whether you choose milking from a GEA herringbone milking parlour, a parallel milking parlour (side-by-side) or a tandem milking parlour.
In the GEA Dairy Parlour tandem milking parlour you combine comfortable milking in a box setup with tried and tested milking technology. Especially with smaller herds, you can save valuable time while maximizing cow comfort. With a clear view of the cow, an optional positioning arm supports you, from ergonomic attaching and a good milking cluster fit to gentle milk harvest. Depending on the equipment, the milking control unit monitors the milking routine for you, simultaneously sending the current milking data to the herd management system.
Plan out your desired stall concept with a tandem milking parlour from GEA. It’s a solid design that delivers comfort to you and your cows!
With the Swing Over milking parlour from GEA’s Dairy Parlour line, you take care of two milking stalls opposite one another with only one milking control unit and milking cluster. The double function of the PosiSwing milking arm makes it possible. The basis of this double-sided milking system is the especially compact herringbone milking parlour EuroClass 800. The milking arm is positioned in the middle of the milking pit. When you swing it over to the side where you want to start attaching, the vacuum starts. Simultaneously, you instantly have the milking cluster at the ergonomic height you need. The milking control unit takes over milking management for you and sends the herd management system the relevant data on the cow and milking stall. In the meantime, you can switch over to the other side of the group and finalize milking procedures.
Especially with only one person milking in the parlour, the Swing Over milking system from GEA is an economically sound investment for small and mid-sized herds. Despite investing less per milking stall, you can still achieve high efficiency thanks to higher productivity and a milking system working continually at high capacity. In addition, you easily save about half the water for rinsing milking clusters as well as half the time for cleaning in the long term.
Quick group changes and precise positioning let you achieve high work efficiency with the herringbone milking parlour. GEA’s Dairy Parlour line features a variety of successful formulas you can benefit from. Wide alleys allow cows to enter the milking stall stress-free and stand comfortably and relaxed for better milking. The convenient milking stall dimensions enable fast attaching over short distances, offering an excellent view of the individual cow. For easy ergonomic handling and little effort, the milking clusters and control units are placed within easy reach. Sensible functions such as gate control can be integrated directly at the milking stall. In addition, depending on equipment, various components can be easily connected to your herd management’s digital network, if desired.
Are you looking for a way to further increase throughput and profitability with a herringbone configuration? Thanks to short retention times and fast group changes, the optional “Rapid Exit” helps you save significant time and the integrated indexing functions speed up and simplify attaching.
Improve throughput performance and number of cow milking’s per day! With a parallel milking parlour from GEA, you can milk more cows per hour in the most efficient manner - in a space-saving footprint. Operators can quickly attach through the rear legs and indexing functions position the cow comfortably in the stall, regardless of breed or cow size. With your choice of milking clusters and control units, you can take advantage of the possibilities of modern herd management and make the milking routine convenient and efficient for you, while at the same time optimizing cow comfort for your herd. Want to speed things up? A vertical lift exit gate helps you carry out incredibly fast group changes.
