Why a milking carousel?

Over the years, the number of cows per farm has constantly increased while available manpower has decreased and has become more expensive. At the same time, the requirements for the work conditions have continuously become stricter. This results in the requirement for facilities that make work easier while increasing profitability.

After many years of experience with milking carousels, these have been improved to deliver an optimal function. The result is a continuous work process, which means that there are no more waiting periods when changing cows. The carousel rotates at the set speed, the cows come in evenly and continuously.

As a result of the smooth process and the very good accessibility of the udder owing to the position of the cow, speed during milking is high. In addition, the milker works at the right work height with an optimal overview of the milking stalls and sufficient light and space. The process is highly livestock-friendly as individual places are provided on the carousel (with and without feeding). From an ergonomic perspective of the milker, the system can be operated very efficiently thanks to short distances and the very good accessibility of the udder in natural positions and motion sequences. The carousel runs silently and smoothly as the rotation speed can be adjusted continuously. Clamp locks at the entry and exit ensure less tension, and man and animal are not put under stress. The milking carousel is the fastest milking system. At the same time, it is the most convenient way of milking.

It is work-friendly, efficient, reliable, low in maintenance, and is also the best solution in terms of cost effectiveness as it allows for great savings in wages and manpower. Its ease of operation ensures that there is no stress, while no complicated tools are required and almost no wear and tear or maintenance costs are incurred. The number of livestock can be increased without increasing the work load.
