Rotary Parlour

Rotary parlours are labour efficient milking parlours for dairies requiring a high throughput of cows per hour.

Benefits of rotary milking:

Cows remain very calm as this system enables a constant daily cow routine – it is the same for every cow, every day.
They offer a safe and consistent working environment.
The parlour operators remain in one place – platform entry, pre-milking work routine, milking unit attachment and cow exit from the rotary parlour are always constant.
The continuous cow flow allows the milkers to focus on the essential tasks in a safe environment and do not waste time walking from cow to cow.
The platform speed controls the milkers’ pace and can be adjusted according to cow groups’ milking times and yields.
A uniform work routine allows for calm, stress-free milk let-down – each cow is provided with equal time for milk-out
Milking procedures are more consistent and efficient in a large rotary parlour (60 stalls or greater) than in the same sized herringbone or parallel parlours (2X30 or greater)
Rotary parlours fit well into a dairy layout. Cow traffic management is easy with single entry and exit lanes. The single exit lane makes directing to a segregation area very easy.
